Controlling Print Quality

You can choose from several print quality options. In general, higher quality print requires longer print times. Print speed depends on many factors: the amount of computer memory you have, the complexity of your design, the number of colors in your design, and so on.

The Print Quality options are described below.

Print Quality

Description

/Speed Option

 

 

 

Fast

Uses image smoothing and halftoning to produce full-color print quality.

 

 

Normal

Produces full-color print quality superior to Fast mode; the resulting image is suitable

for most applications. Images require about twice as long to print as in Fast mode.

 

 

 

Best

Produces the best full-color print quality available. Images require about twice as long

to print as in Normal mode.

 

 

 

Note The print time mentioned above is measured from the time the print tray moves into printing position.

To select a Print Quality option

From the Print dialog box, select the quality you want from the Print Quality drop-down list.

Controlling Ink Density

You can easily adjust the density of the ink printed on discs. Less ink results in images that are less dense; more ink results in denser images. In general, the disc’s finish (matte, glossy, silver, and so on) determines the ink density you should use. See "About Printable CDs/DVDs" on page 5 for details about the various types of printable discs.
