Select the method of expressing device halftone (printer-specific halftone). Select the settings according
to printing data and preference.
Halftone Pattern
Select the pixel size to be used for halftones.
The greater the value, the coarser the image would become. However, a larger value is suited to printing
in large areas.
The Enhanced pattern allows printing at a higher resolution using the same number of pixels. However,
the pattern might generate unnatural lines, patterns, moire effects, and so on depending on the image to
be printed.
Device Gamma
Adjust the gamma of print images (color intensities).
Pixel Diameter
Adjust the darkness of the print image. Manipulate the slider to specify the pixel size. You can select
between specifying the real size in inches or specifying in percentage relative to the printer resolution.
Luminance (CIE Y)
Adjust the luminosity of the print image.Halftone Setup...
