Pictures taken on a Canon A70 (3.2 MP - 2048 x 1536) sent to Lexmark Z51 with resolution 600dpi and customer size set to 4608 x 6144 print fine on Letter paper, but same pictures printed with resolution set to 1200dpi print very blue. Not sure whether this is Lexmark driver issue, OS/2 bitmap size issue, PMView 200 issue or mixture.
Same pictures printed "Fit resolution" (i.e. crossways on Letter paper - 4096 x 3072?) print fine in either 600dpi and 1200dpi; actually there is no discernible difference in the output! Has anyone else come across this issue? Regards, Russell |

Thanks Peter,
I'm not actually worried by the "resolution independence" of the size of the print, it is actually quite convenient to use a 600dpi "canvas" to size the image on. I just was curious how PMView knew to do that, since the representation of the size of the image on the paper doesn't change when I change the output dpi via the setup button. Or does it always calculate based on the default settings for the printer (which I have left at Normal 600)? Maybe I will change the default setting and see how the paper preview reacts. In any case the size of the actual output matches its representation in the preview which is the best behavior available, as long as I am in fact getting 1200dpi dithering from the printer. I will need a new photo cartridge soon if I test any more variables. Thanks, Russell |
