DESCRIPTION

PRINT RESOLUTONS

Epson Stylus printers

The difference between different quality settings lies in the number of passes made over each line. "High" and "Highest" quality settings perform more passes, printing fewer dots with each pass over the same line and using different nozzles for each pass. This reduces banding effects, but requires more time.

Interleave modes use algorithms within the printer to generate the sequence of rows printed. These algorithms generally only work well at low printing resolutions. Many printers do not support this kind of printing at resolutions of 720 DPI and above, and some printers that do actually print just one row (using just one nozzle per color) at a time. While this particular use will produce extremely high quality (no banding whatsoever, normally), it is extremely slow and may eventually damage the print head due to ink pooling. All printers that we are aware of have no such trouble at 360 DPI.

We generally recommend the following resolutions for the following purposes:

Resolution	Recommended use
360x90	Fast economy draft output on plain paper (output will be very banded and not very dark).
360x120
180	Economy draft output on plain paper (output will not be very dark).
360x180	Draft output on plain paper (output will not be solidly black); economy draft output on good quality inkjet paper.
360x240
360	Standard quality output on plain paper (output will be solidly black); draft output on good quality inkjet paper.
720x360	High quality output on plain paper; standard output on good quality inkjet paper.
720	Maximum quality on plain paper; high quality on good inkjet paper; proofs on photo-quality paper. On many printers, there will be little difference between this and 720x360 on plain paper.
1440x720	High quality on photo paper; use 1440x720 Highest Quality to reduce microbanding if needed. While this will work on plain paper, it usually offers little improvement over 720 DPI.
2880x720	Highest quality on photo paper. While this may yield slightly improved quality, it will generally not be markedly superior to 1440x720 Highest Quality, except on the Stylus Color 980 and Stylus C70 and C80, where it may yield a noticeable improvement. It takes as long to print as 1440x720 highest quality, but twice as long to generate the output.
1440x1440	An unsupported mode that offers higher quality than 2880x720 for certain types of images on very high quality paper. It does not appear to offer any advantage on smooth tones, but fine detail (particularly vertical, and to a lesser extent near-horizontal) it shows noticeable improvement. It takes as long to print as 2880x720. 1440x1440 highest quality takes twice as long to print.
2880x1440	An unsupported mode that may offer higher quality than 2880x720 for certain types of images on very high quality paper. Experiments conducted thus far demonstrate little if any improvement over 1440x1440. It takes twice as long to print as 2880x720 or 1440x1440, and as long to print as 1440x1440 highest quality.

The following resolutions are supported on printers other than the Stylus Pro (5000, 5500, 7000, 7500, 9000, 9500, and 10000) printers. Resolutions for those printers are listed in a later section. Please see the notes at the end of this section.

*

This resolution is the default on all printers supporting this setting.

1

Works on printers that have a basic vertical spacing of 1/90". This includes the Stylus Color, Stylus Color 440, 460, 600, 640, 660, 670, and 1500, and Stylus Photo, Stylus Photo 700, 720, and EX.

2

Works on most printers that have a basic vertical spacing of 1/90, 1/180, or 1/360 inch. This includes Stylus Color, Stylus Color 440, 460, 600, 640, 660, 670, 800, 850, 900, 980, 1500, 1520, 3000, and Stylus Photo, Stylus Photo 700, 720 and EX.

3

Works on Stylus C70, C80, and C82; and Stylus Photo 950, 960, 2100, and 2200.

4

Works on older printers with dot spacing of 1/120 inch. This includes the Stylus Color Pro, Pro XL, 400, and 500.

5

Works on newer printers with dot spacing of 1/120 inch. This includes the Stylus C20, C40, C41, C42, C60, C61, and C62; the Stylus Color 480, 580, 680, 740, 760, 777, 860, 880, 83, and 1160, and the Stylus Photo 750, 780, 785, 790, 810, 820, 825, 830, 870, 875, 890, 895, 915, 925, 1270, 1280, 1290, and 2000P, and the Stylus Scan 2000 and 2500.

6

Works on all printers that do not support variable drop sizes. This includes the Stylus Color, Stylus Color 400, 440, 460, 500, 600, 640, 660, 800, 850, 1500, 1520, and 3000, Stylus Color Pro, Stylus Color Pro XL, and Stylus Photo, Stylus Photo 700, and EX.

7

Works on all printers that do support variable drop sizes. This includes all supported Epson Stylus printers except for those listed in note (6).

8

Recommended only on processors slower than 200 MHz, the system is heavily loaded with a faster processor, or if problems are experienced at 720x360.

9

Works on all supported printers except for Stylus Color, Stylus Color Pro, Stylus Color Pro XL, Stylus Color 1500, 1520, and 3000.

10

On printers that do not support variable drop size (see note (4)), this will print as fast as 360 DPI, and faster than 360 DPI High Quality. It will take twice as long to generate output, which may be important on a heavily loaded system or a processor slower than 200 MHz.

11

Works on some older printers, including the Stylus Color, Stylus Color 400, 500, 600, 800, 850, 1500, 1520, and 3000, Stylus Color Pro, and Stylus Color Pro XL. Not recommended except for the Stylus Color, Stylus Color 1500, 1520, and 3000.

12

Works on Stylus Color 600, 800, 850, 1520, and 3000. Not recommended unless other 1440x720 modes do not work.

13

Works on all printers that support 1440x720 DPI. This includes all supported printers except for the Stylus Color, Stylus Color Pro, Pro XL, 400, 440, 460, 480, 500, and 1500, and Stylus Photo. In addition, this may not work correctly on Stylus Color 1520 and Stylus Color 3000.

14

This is identical to 1440 x 720 Highest Quality (1440x720hq) on the Stylus Color 900.

15

Works on all printers that support 2880x720 DPI. This includes the Stylus C60, C61, C62, C70, C80, and C82, the Stylus Color 680, 777, 880, 83, and 980, and Stylus Photo 780, 790, 810, 820, 825, 830, 890, 915, 925, 950, 960, 1280, and 1290. This resolution is offered on the Stylus Photo 2100 and 2200, but may not work correctly.

16

Works on Epson Stylus Photo 825, 830, 925, 950, 960, 2100, 2200; Stylus C61, C62, C70, C80, C82 ; Stylus Pro 7600 and 9600. This resolution is not supported by Epson on the C70 and C80, but it works correctly on at least some such printers.

17

These resolutions print at particularly high speed on the Epson Stylus Photo 950, 960, 2100, and 2200 when printing in Four Color Standard or Three Color Composite modes, or when printing in monochrome or grayscale with any ink type other than Two Level Grayscale, Seven Color Photo, or Quadtone.

The Stylus Pro printers (Stylus Pro 5000, 5500, 7000, 7500, 7600, 9000, 9500, 9600, and 10000) support additional interleave modes known as Full Overlap (FOL), Four Pass, and FOL2. The Stylus Pro 5500, 7500, 7600, 9500, 9600, and 10000 additionally have a mode called MW2. These modes can only be used at certain resolutions. Stylus Pro printers support the following resolutions:
