Optimizing Print Quality

Resolution Improvement Technology (RITech)
Enhanced MicroGray
Adjusting print density

The print quality of documents can be optimized by using EPSON's Resolution Improvement Technology (RITech), EPSON's Enhanced MicroGray technology, and by changing the print density setting in the printer driver.

Resolution Improvement Technology (RITech)

Resolution Improvement Technology (RITech) is an original EPSON printer technology that improves the appearance of printed lines, text, and graphics.

The RITech setting

The default setting for RITech is On. RITech gives the best quality text and graphics for nearly all purposes. You may not need to turn the setting off. However, if you are printing gray shading or screen patterns, change the setting to Off.

To change the RITech setting, select or clear the RITech check box in the More Settings dialog box in the printer driver's Basic Settings tab.

If the pattern still needs to be improved, you may also have to change the print density setting. See Adjusting print density for more information.

Adjusting print density

Do not change the print density unless it is necessary. Changing the print density affects all text and graphics, so check the new setting by printing several pages with various kinds of text and graphics.

If your printout is too light or too dark, adjust the print density by changing the Density setting in the Extended Settings dialog box in the printer driver's Optional Settings tab.

Note:
Increasing the print density increases toner consumption. If you select darker print, you may need to replace the developer cartridge more often.
