Imaging Resists moiré formation and dot gain. Moiré formation is an unintended pattern that occurs when two or more colors are printed at the wrong angles. The correct angles depend on the number of colors being printed. Dot gain is when the halftone dots increase when printed, causing a moiré pattern. Select Round for images with light tints and highlighted areas. Line Used for special effect. Select Line to change the effect by selecting a different angle. 4 Select Increase accuracy of screens for better print quality, possibly increasing print time. 5 Click OK to return to the Print dialog box. 6 Click OK to start printing. Adjusting Grayscale The grayscale adjustment settings change the Brightness and Contrast of graphics. These settings are useful if graphic images are printing too light, too gray, or too dark. Text remains unaffected. 1 In the Imaging tab, under Adjustment, select Custom. A preview image in the Adjustment Settings dialog box illustrates any brightness and contrast changes. 2 Drag the Brightness slider right to lighten, or left to darken the graphic images of the print job.

Adjusting brightness is useful when graphic images are printing too dark or too light. 3 Drag the Contrast slider right or left to increase or decrease the proportion of light to dark in the graphic images of the print job. A high contrast setting decreases the grayscale spectrum, making light grays lighter and dark grays darker. A low contrast setting increases the grayscale spectrum, making light grays darker and dark grays lighter. You can also change contrast by entering a numeric value in the text box at the right. The highest contrast setting is +100; the lowest is -100. Zero is the default mid-level setting. Adjusting contrast is useful if graphic images are printing too gray, or too black and white. 4 Click OK to save your grayscale adjustment settings.
