Imaging Screen

Resolution

600 dpi, 1200 dpi

Selects a resolution.

• When 1200 dpi is selected, the image quality increases. However, printing may take longer.

Custom Screen

Dot Shape, Screen Frequency, Screen Angle

Select Dot Shape to set the shape of a print dot. For details about the dot shape, refer to the printer driver help.

Select Screen Frequency to set the number of halftone dots per inch. The unit is lpi (line per inch). Although the resolution increases as the number is larger, the quality of gradation becomes poorer. The default setting is 120 lpi. Select Screen Angle to set the angle against the vertical axis of each color to prevent moire.

Moire may occur when the same screen angle is set for all the colors. Therefore, the angles are initially set as follows:

Cyan: 15.0°

Magenta: 75.0°

Yellow: 0.0°

Black: 45.0°
