Triggering resampling to 720 ppi
Through a combination of research and further experimentation, I’ve figured out that checking the “Finest Detail” option box in the Epson 3880 driver is the thing that tells it to resample the image at 720 ppi instead of 360 ppi. The 2880/1440 resolution setting tells the halftoning algorithm not to use any but the smallest… [Read More]
Resampling for printing – summary
Have you been looking at the last couple of weeks’ posts and been wondering what to make of it all? So have I. Here’s what I think: The marking engine (printer engineering talk for the collection of parts that lays down the ink, or toner, or whatever) of the Epson 3880 is capable of consistent… [Read More]
Printing at 2880/1440 dpi & 720 ppi
My previous testing at 2880/1440 dpi didn’t show much more resolution than printing at 1440/720 dpi, but I thought I’d print out the resampling target sampled to 720 ppi with the printer driver set to 2880/1440 dpi to see if the smoothness was improved. I picked the “Finest Detail” option to force resampling to 720… [Read More]
Resampling for printing with QImage
John Schwaller and others have recommended a program called QImage for resampling images for printing. I bought a copy – it’s only 90 bucks – and tried it out. The program works sort of like a RIP, but without actually doing the rasterizing, since it only accepts files that are already rasterized. You can import… [Read More]
