7.3 Description of screening modes

This section briefly describes the assorted screening modes (also know as ‘dot shapes’) supported by the HP Designjet plugin. Not every device that is installed by the plugin supports all dot shapes/screening modes.

HEDS1	HEDS1 (Harlequin 1-bit Error Diffusion Screening) is a frequency modulated
	(FM) screening method particularly suited to the production of proofs on inkjet
	printers. HEDS1 works well at low resolutions, since it does not use dot pat-
	terns, producing prints that are free from the moire effect. To use round HEDS1
	screening, choose HEDS1 from the Dot shape drop-down list.
HEDS2	HEDS2 (Harlequin 2-bit Error Diffusion Screening) produces the highest qual-
	ity output for inkjet printers.
	Screens are produced with multiple dot sizes: small, medium and large. To use
	round HEDS2 screening, choose HEDS2 from the Dot shape drop-down list.

8 Output file naming

Using variable tags and fixed text you can set up a file naming template for your output files. Using a template ensures your output files will be named consistently, and, depending on which tags you use, with appropriate job information to identify the output file correctly.
