Improving Line Quality and Graphics Detail

The

Sharp lines

option refines the print quality of line drawings by smoothing the

fine gradations along the angles and curves of the printed image. This
enhancement produces:

Crisper lines.

Finer detail.

Line drawings with a ‘sharp’ appearance.

Only prints that have color content are affected by the

Sharp lines

option to

produce addressable 600 dpi resolution. Monochrome images are not affected by
the

Sharp lines

option as these are produced in true 300 or 600 dpi resolution,

depending on the print quality that you have selected.

The

Sharp lines

option has has three settings, Auto, Off and

On

,

and can be set

either through the front-panel menu or HP supported Windows drivers

.

The

factory default setting is Auto

.

With

Sharp lines

set to Auto you will always get best quality color prints, except

when you send the following files:

Mixed lines and scanned color images.

Mixed lines and color photographs.

CorelDRAW! (with color images).

For these files it is recommended that the

Sharp lines

default setting is changed,

depending on your preference for image or line quality:

Select On if you have a file which contains line and color images and you want
the lines to be printed in Best quality, even if there is possible degradation to the
quality of the color image.

Select Off if you have a file which contains line and color images and you want
to optimize the quality of the color images.

Select Off if the print is a complex vector file, such as a CorelDRAW! The
print quality will be optimized for these circumstances.

Select Off if the output speed of the printer is more important than Best quality.
