4.4 Guideline for Selecting Contrast Setting

Note that the use of inappropriate contrast setting for a specific media may void the

warranty on the print head. In order to achieve best image result as well as to prolong the

life of print head, the following guideline may be referred:

• In the Contrast Test, an optical densitometer may be used to measure the optical

density (o.d.) of the plot at each contrast setting, and a comparison of o.d. at all the

settings can be made. Usually the curve of o.d. has a steep rising slope as the contrast

setting increases. Then it reaches the saturation point and either slides down or stays

almost flat. The setting at the saturation point would be the best choice.
