Pixma Pro-100 Fast, Or Fine Setting?

Storm2313

I have some questions about this excellent printer.

 

The settings in the printer driver to adjust the printer quality from fast to fine. What's the difference other than the obvious of course Fast means faster, but does fine put down more ink?

 

The reason I ask is I'm creating custom profiles, and had a few instances when I set the setting to 2, and 1, and found that the prints had what looked like ink bloches that were only in one, or two spots on my graphic prints.

 

I'm thinking about reducing the setting, but really just wanted to understand what actually it does.

 

Thank you, for your support.

Excellent info.

 

I understand far more now. Thank you.

 

 

Great. It's an excellent printer. You can get good deals on ink from Staples when you combine sale prices with ink recycling rewards. Canon has sales periodically also.

Yea I can honestly say the qualtiy of prints is amazing. Here's a picture of what I was getting. You can see the blotch on the E. I will adjust the paper to see if it resolves it. I don;t have a profile for the vinyl I'm using. I hate playing hit, and miss.Blotch On Print.jpg
