Optimizing Print Quality

Resolution Improvement Technology (RITech)
Enhanced MicroGray
Adjusting print density

Your printer provides you with a number of ways to print your documents to achieve the highest possible quality. The two features discussed here are EPSON's Resolution Improvement Technology (RITech) and Enhanced MicroGray (Enh. MG). You can also improve your printing quality by adjusting the print density.

Resolution Improvement Technology (RITech)

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

Your printer comes with RITech turned on, since this setting produces the best quality text and graphics for nearly all purposes. However, if you are printing a lot of gray shading or screen patterns, turn RITech off in the printer driver by clearing the RITech check box, located on the Panel menu.

If you are printing from an application or operating system that does not support your printer driver, you can also change this setting from the printer's display panel using OneTouch mode 2. For details, see OneTouch mode 2.

Adjusting print density

Changing the print density affects all text and graphics; avoid making unnecessary changes. When making changes, check the new settings by printing several pages with various kinds of text and graphics.

If your printouts are too light or too dark, change the Density setting on the printer driver's Panel menu.

If you are printing from an application or operating system that does not support your printer driver, you can change this setting from the printer's display panel using SelecType. For details, see SelecType Settings.

Note:

Increasing the print density increases toner consumption. If you select darker printing, you may need to replace the Toner Cartridge more often.
