Halftone options

Halftoning is the method by which the printer mixes the four primary colors (cyan, magenta, yellow,
and black) in varying proportions to create millions of colors. Halftone options affect the resolution
and clarity of your color output. The two halftone options are Smooth and Detail.

The Smooth option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances
photos by smoothing out fine color gradations. Choose this option when uniform and smooth
area fills are the most important attributes.

The Detail option is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or
colors, or images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Choose this option when sharp
edges and details are the most important attributes.

Edge Control

The Edge Control setting determines how edges are rendered. Edge Control consists of two
components: Adaptive Halftoning and Trapping. Adaptive Halftoning increases the edge sharpness.
Trapping reduces the effect of color-plane misregistration by slightly overlapping the edges of
adjacent objects. The following levels of edge control are available:

Off sets Trapping and Adaptive Halftoning to Off.

Normal provides the default trapping settings. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On.

Maximum provides the most trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On.
