B/W Laserjet Printer shadings
In article , Paul wrote: Hi, How many shadings is available in a black and white laserjet printer such as the HP Laserjet 1010? For example, I'm printing a photo that has 16 million colors. Using the black laserjet... how many shadings would it convert it to? 256? 1024? 50K? or 16 million shadings?? Now a color inkjet printer with separate black and tricolor cartridge such as the HP Deskjet 2560. How many colors would it produce in the paper? 16 million colors? In the early days, people like Don Lancaster published tons of stuff on this. In short, the number depends on the resolution of the printer and the type of pattern (arrangements of dots) used by the printer driver to generate grayscale. There are different patterns, including random dot and various ordered patterns, each of which has different tradeoffs with respect to balancing the rendering of detail and of number of shades. An inkjet printer which can regulate the amount of ink delivered by each dot, has an advantage over laser printers which can only regulate the size and placement. |
