The High option improves the quality of images in a job.

Image quality refers to the ability to maintain the same detail and smoothness with different degrees of enlargement. This feature is especially useful when your PostScript file includes several images with different qualities—for example, images that were scanned at different resolutions, were rotated, or downloaded from the Internet.

●High: Improves the quality of text and lines in a job.

●Normal: Processes the text and lines in the job according to the standard resolution of the press.

Note: It is recommended that you use this option only if your source file includes diagonal lines or text with jagged edges.

The Graphics quality (Text, Line) option refers to the Creo anti-aliasing algorithm for text quality. This option causes blends to appear smooth with no banding, and displays crisp diagonal lines without (or with minimal) jagged (rough) edge, that are the result of the limited resolution of the print engine.

Significantly improves the text and line quality in your job. In some cases, images in the PDL file contain data that belong to the LW layer, such as screen captures and hi-res rasterized text. The CX print server is able to identify such images and convert them into the line work layer.

Select to smooth and blend vignettes of continuous tone (CT) images.

Xerox printing technology that enables you to print hologram like images in ordinary prints. This technology uses a single pass method for printing both a background image and a gloss mark image on the same paper.

Gloss mark images can be seen as a separate image when the print is viewed at a slightly different angle.
