How to Set the Print Resolution
The card printer can be set to print at standard resolution, high resolution, or a combination of
resolutions. For example, the black text of a card design can print at high resolution while the
color images print at standard resolution.
The ability of a printer to support high resolution printing is set at the factory. If the printer
includes the High Resolution Print option, the available resolutions will be listed on the Status
tab of Printer Properties.
The print resolution can be set for color images and/or monochrome card designs.
To set the print resolution
1. Open Printing Preferences.
2. Click the Print Mode tab.
3. Choose from the following options:
a. Always use standard resolution (300 x 300 dpi)
• The Always use standard resolution setting is the default setting. It will print
all card elements at standard (300 x 300 dpi) resolution.
b. Always use best possible resolution
• The Always use best possible resolution settings will print the card at the
highest possible resolution.
c. Custom
• Selecting the Custom Print Mode allows you to set the resolution of color
and monochrome printing. The resolution for color and monochrome
printing can be set independent of one another. The selections are:
• Color:
• 300 x 300
• 300 x 600
• Monochrome:
• 300 x 300
• 300 x 600
• 300 x 1200
The first number shown is the resolution of the print along the short
edge of the card. The second value represents the resolution along the
long edge of the card.
