Example: The following shows an example of a default screen. The selectable screen types can be changed by the administrator from the UTILITY menu. The available screen types may also vary depending on the image controller.
Screen 1 (Dot190): Uses fine dot arrangement. Default number of lines. This option is suited for catalog or brochure.
Screen 2 (Dot175): Uses dot arrangement. Graininess is reduced by using a smaller number of lines that is equivalent to that used for general printing. This option is suited for color photos or brochures.
Stochastic (FM3): Draws using approximately 200 lines with the emphasis on the color stability and granularity. Suitable for printing photos of clothes or fine-design textiles in larger sizes with color stability and granularity that ensure the quality equivalent to the AM screen quality.
