QuadToneRIP, 360 versus 720 dpi

2004-08-08 by Nelson Ricciardi

Richard and others

Same image in 8x10.

- 360 dpi, prints fine on letter size paper

- 720 dpi, print is very bad, full of stripes

Thank you Richard

I´m also having fun printing images smaller than 8x10 in 360 ppi.

I´ll try a 5x5 using 720 ppi to see if it works. 8.5x11 in 720 ppi does not
work for sure.

Again, thanks a lot.

Nelson

Hi Nelson,

I'd be happy to share, but must say I did nothing whatsoever besides install
and print. I used the defaults exactly as they are in the files Roy provided
without changing even a line of text:

1. Letter size EEM (or EAM, depending on your geography)

2. Image size was 5X5 at 360 ppi (a low-key, studio portrait of an infant
with very smooth and subtle tonal transitions)

3. Image in RGB mode, 8 bit, desaturated using modified c/m technique

Since my first post I have also made a couple of more prints using the same
settings, included some high-key images and enjoyed the same fine results. I
haven't even started to tweak anything because I'm having too much fun!

Hope this helps, but Roy has already done all the work ;>)

Kind regards,
Richard
