Harmonizing Print Density and REt Settings

Page 84 highlights

Figure 5-4 Figure 5-4 illustrates three REt settings. Set REt so that the REt block is a uniform gray with no vertical lines (see Image 2 below). Image 1 is too light and Image 3 is too dark. Harmonizing Print Density and REt Settings Because print density and REt settings affect each other, it is wise to adjust them at the same time. To harmonize print density and REt settings: 1 Make sure printer resolution is set to 600 dpi. 2 Adjust the print density dial. (The center default position usually produces a uniform gray REt block on the self test printout.) 3 Print a self test and examine the Resolution Enhancement block. 4 Set REt to produce a block as close to a uniform gray as possible, as shown in Image 2 of Figure 5-4.

Figure 5-4 illustrates three REt settings. Set REt so that the REt block is a
uniform gray with no vertical lines (see Image 2 below). Image 1 is too light
and Image 3 is too dark.
Harmonizing Print Density and REt Settings
Because print density and REt settings affect each other, it is wise to adjust
them at the same time.
To harmonize print density and REt settings:
1
Make sure printer resolution is set to 600 dpi.
2
Adjust the print density dial. (The center default position usually produces a
uniform gray REt block on the self test printout.)
3
Print a self test and examine the Resolution Enhancement block.
4
Set REt to produce a block as close to a uniform gray as possible, as shown
in Image 2 of Figure 5-4.
