To access the printer driver settings for the Stylus COLOR, choose the Options button of the Print dialog box. This brings up the following dialog box:

Controlling the color and halftone settings

The following settings control color quality and the halftone pattern.

Inks

Specifies color (CMYK) or monochrome printing. When you select monochrome, colors are converted to grayscale values.

Method

Selects one of four halftone settings: Black and White, Diffused (default), Pattern 1 Dither, and Pattern 2 Dither. Normally you should not change the default halftone method, which is Diffused.

Black and white uses no halftoning pattern and should be used only with text. Black and white is fast, but it should never be used with color.
