NAME
       gimpprint-resolutions - Gimp-Print print resolutions

DESCRIPTION
       Gimp-Print  supports many different resolutions, which are printer type
       specific.  The option names are case sensitive.	 Not  all  resolutions
       are supported on all printers.

PRINT RESOLUTONS
   Epson Stylus printers
       Within  each specified resolution, the quality is generally listed from
       worst to best (and generally higher quality means  lower	 speed).   For
       example,	 360 DPI Unidirectional is usually better than 360 DPI.	 Char‐
       acteristics of specific models and individual printers may  affect  the
       orderings to some degree; on many printers, with certain papers, unidi‐
       rectional printing will improve quality substantially more  than	 using
       an otherwise better quality printing mode.

       The difference between different quality settings lies in the number of
       passes made over each line.  "High" and "Highest" quality settings per‐
       form more passes, printing fewer dots with each pass over the same line
       and using different  nozzles  for  each	pass.	This  reduces  banding
       effects, but requires more time.

       Interleave  modes  use  algorithms  within  the printer to generate the
       sequence of rows printed.  These algorithms generally only work well at
       low  printing  resolutions.   Many printers do not support this kind of
       printing at resolutions of 720 DPI and above, and some printers that do
       actually	 print	just  one  row	(using just one nozzle per color) at a
       time.  While this particular use will produce  extremely	 high  quality
       (no banding whatsoever, normally), it is extremely slow and may eventu‐
       ally damage the print head due to ink pooling.  All  printers  that  we
       are aware of have no such trouble at 360 DPI.

       We generally recommend the following resolutions for the following pur‐
       poses:

	      Resolution   Recommended use
	      ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
	      360x90	   Fast economy draft output on plain paper
	      360x120	   (output will be very banded and not very
			   dark).
	      180	   Economy  draft  output  on  plain  paper
			   (output will not be very dark).
	      360x180	   Draft output on plain paper (output will
	      360x240	   not be  solidly  black);  economy  draft
			   output on good quality inkjet paper.
	      360	   Standard  quality  output on plain paper
			   (output will be  solidly  black);  draft
			   output on good quality inkjet paper.
	      720x360	   High	 quality  output  on  plain  paper;
			   standard output on good  quality  inkjet
			   paper.
	      720	   Maximum  quality  on	 plain	paper; high
			   quality on good inkjet paper; proofs	 on
			   photo-quality  paper.  On many printers,
			   there will be little difference  between
			   this and 720x360 on plain paper.

	      1440x720	   High	  quality   on	 photo	paper;	use
			   1440x720  Highest  Quality	to   reduce
			   microbanding if needed.  While this will
			   work on plain paper, it  usually  offers
			   little improvement over 720 DPI.
	      2880x720	   Highest  quality  on photo paper.  While
			   this may yield slightly  improved  qual‐
			   ity,	 it  will generally not be markedly
			   superior to	1440x720  Highest  Quality,
			   except  on the Stylus Color 980 and Sty‐
			   lus C70 and C80, where it  may  yield  a
			   noticeable  improvement.   It  takes	 as
			   long to print as 1440x720 highest  qual‐
			   ity,	 but  twice as long to generate the
			   output.
	      1440x1440	   An unsupported mode that  offers  higher
			   quality  than 2880x720 for certain types
			   of images on very  high  quality  paper.
			   It  does  not appear to offer any advan‐
			   tage on smooth tones,  but  fine  detail
			   (particularly  vertical, and to a lesser
			   extent near-horizontal) it shows notice‐
			   able	 improvement.	It takes as long to
			   print as  2880x720.	 1440x1440  highest
			   quality takes twice as long to print.
	      2880x1440	   An	unsupported  mode  that	 may  offer
			   higher quality than 2880x720 for certain
			   types  of  images  on  very high quality
			   paper.  Experiments conducted  thus	far
			   demonstrate	little	if  any improvement
			   over 1440x1440.  It takes twice as  long
			   to  print  as 2880x720 or 1440x1440, and
			   as long to print  as	 1440x1440  highest
			   quality.

       The following resolutions are supported on printers other than the Sty‐
       lus Pro (5000, 5500, 7000, 7500, 9000, 9500, and 10000) printers.  Res‐
       olutions	 for those printers are listed in a later section.  Please see
       the notes at the end of this section.

       *      This resolution is the default on all printers  supporting  this
	      setting.

       1      Works  on	 printers that have a basic vertical spacing of 1/90".
	      This includes the Stylus Color, Stylus Color 440, 460, 600, 640,
	      660, 670, and 1500, and Stylus Photo, Stylus Photo 700, 720, and
	      EX.

       2      Works on most printers that have a  basic	 vertical  spacing  of
	      1/90,  1/180, or 1/360 inch.  This includes Stylus Color, Stylus
	      Color 440, 460, 600, 640, 660, 670, 800, 850,  900,  980,	 1500,
	      1520, 3000, and Stylus Photo, Stylus Photo 700, 720 and EX.

       3      Works  on	 Stylus	 C70, C80, and C82; and Stylus Photo 950, 960,
	      2100, and 2200.

       4      Works on older printers with dot spacing of  1/120  inch.	  This
	      includes the Stylus Color Pro, Pro XL, 400, and 500.

       5      Works  on	 newer	printers with dot spacing of 1/120 inch.  This
	      includes the Stylus C20, C40, C41, C42, C60, C61, and  C62;  the
	      Stylus  Color  480,  580,	 680, 740, 760, 777, 860, 880, 83, and
	      1160, and the Stylus Photo 750, 780, 785, 790,  810,  820,  825,
	      830,  870, 875, 890, 895, 915, 925, 1270, 1280, 1290, and 2000P,
	      and the Stylus Scan 2000 and 2500.

       6      Works on all printers that do not support variable  drop	sizes.
	      This includes the Stylus Color, Stylus Color 400, 440, 460, 500,
	      600, 640, 660, 800, 850, 1500, 1520, and 3000, Stylus Color Pro,
	      Stylus Color Pro XL, and Stylus Photo, Stylus Photo 700, and EX.

       7      Works on all printers that do support variable drop sizes.  This
	      includes all supported Epson Stylus printers  except  for	 those
	      listed in note (6).

       8      Recommended  only	 on processors slower than 200 MHz, the system
	      is heavily loaded with a faster processor, or  if	 problems  are
	      experienced at 720x360.

       9      Works  on all supported printers except for Stylus Color, Stylus
	      Color Pro, Stylus Color Pro XL, Stylus  Color  1500,  1520,  and
	      3000.

       10     On  printers  that  do  not support variable drop size (see note
	      (4)), this will print as fast as 360 DPI, and  faster  than  360
	      DPI  High	 Quality.  It will take twice as long to generate out‐
	      put, which may be important on a heavily loaded system or a pro‐
	      cessor slower than 200 MHz.

       11     Works on some older printers, including the Stylus Color, Stylus
	      Color 400, 500, 600, 800, 850,  1500,  1520,  and	 3000,	Stylus
	      Color  Pro, and Stylus Color Pro XL.  Not recommended except for
	      the Stylus Color, Stylus Color 1500, 1520, and 3000.

       12     Works on Stylus Color 600, 800, 850, 1520, and 3000.  Not recom‐
	      mended unless other 1440x720 modes do not work.

       13     Works  on all printers that support 1440x720 DPI.	 This includes
	      all supported printers except for the Stylus Color, Stylus Color
	      Pro,  Pro	 XL,  400,  440,  460,	480, 500, and 1500, and Stylus
	      Photo.  In addition, this may not work correctly on Stylus Color
	      1520 and Stylus Color 3000.

       14     This  is identical to 1440 x 720 Highest Quality (1440x720hq) on
	      the Stylus Color 900.

       15     Works on all printers that support 2880x720 DPI.	This  includes
	      the  Stylus  C60,	 C61, C62, C70, C80, and C82, the Stylus Color
	      680, 777, 880, 83, and 980, and Stylus Photo 780, 790, 810, 820,
	      825, 830, 890, 915, 925, 950, 960, 1280, and 1290.  This resolu‐
	      tion is offered on the Stylus Photo 2100 and 2200, but  may  not
	      work correctly.

       16     Works on Epson Stylus Photo 825, 830, 925, 950, 960, 2100, 2200;
	      Stylus C61, C62, C70, C80, C82 ; Stylus Pro 7600 and 9600.  This
	      resolution  is not supported by Epson on the C70 and C80, but it
	      works correctly on at least some such printers.

       17     These resolutions print at particularly high speed on the	 Epson
	      Stylus  Photo  950,  960,	 2100,	and 2200 when printing in Four
	      Color Standard or Three Color Composite modes, or when  printing
	      in  monochrome  or  grayscale  with  any ink type other than Two
	      Level Grayscale, Seven Color Photo, or Quadtone.

       The Stylus Pro printers (Stylus Pro 5000, 5500, 7000, 7500, 7600, 9000,
       9500,  9600,  and  10000)  support additional interleave modes known as
       Full Overlap (FOL), Four Pass, and FOL2.	 The Stylus  Pro  5500,	 7500,
       7600, 9500, 9600, and 10000 additionally have a mode called MW2.	 These
       modes can only be used at certain  resolutions.	 Stylus	 Pro  printers
       support the following resolutions:
