Available print modes You select a print mode for each print job at the external RIP. Refer to the RIP documentation for instructions. Stored jobs can be printed in the mode originally specified by the RIP, or in any other mode at the same resolution as it was sent from the RIP. The printer can print in several different modes for the combination of image quality and speed that you require. The modes are named after their intended applications. The higher-quality modes are meant for closer viewing. The faster modes are meant for viewing from longer distances. Maximum speeds shown in the table are for jobs with six colors, four colors, or four colors plus white spot printing. White flood fills print at approximately 45% the other color modes. NOTE: Printing with white ink requires you to install the optional White Ink Upgrade Kit and then perform a white ink conversion. See Order accessories on page 73 for ordering instructions.
