5.Optimizing print quality

This chapter discusses methods of checking and improving print quality.

NOTE: One way to test print quality is to print a sample document. For information on printing sample documents, refer to The Guide to Configuring and Managing the System.

Product features that affect PostScript print quality

You can improve the appearance of your documents by being aware of potential problems created through the use of proprietary PostScript extensions and device-dependent operators.

Proprietary PostScript extensions

PostScript masters that use proprietary printer features may cause appearance inconsistencies between different PostScript printers. Some PostScript printers contain proprietary PostScript extensions. For example, some versions of the Apple Macintosh PostScript driver download encrypted proprietary image “smoothing” operators to Apple LaserWriters. The downloaded PostScript code uses the product operator to determine if it is being used on a LaserWriter. If not, the proprietary code is bypassed by doing a flushfile. This allows the PostScript master to print on non–LaserWriter products. As a result, PostScript masters generated on a Macintosh with Apple proprietary features may produce output that varies between LaserWriter and non–LaserWriter PostScript printers.
