Halftone The Halftone setting controls the selection of a device-dependent halftone algorithm that is embedded in the printer firmware. The Halftone options, Smooth and Detail, affect the resolution and clarity of your color output. ● Smooth. This option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations. Select this option for uniform and smooth area fills. ● Detail. This option is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or colors, or for images that contain a pattern or high level of detail. Select this option for sharp edges and detail. The following table lists the lines per inch (lpi) for each resolution and halftone setting for the HP Color LaserJet 1600 printer.
