How to improve the efficiency of inkjet output (1)

The main factors that affect the efficiency of inkjet output are the following:

First, the speed of software RIP.

Second, the data transmission speed between the computer and the inkjet printer.
Third, the printing machine's printing speed.

To increase the output efficiency is actually to solve the speed bottleneck in the output in order to achieve a reasonable speed match between the various subsystems.

First, the front-end computing system should be optimized. For devices such as JV2-130, which have a six-color system and an output accuracy of 720 dpi, they must be tested and stored at P II 450 and 128 Mbytes of memory at least. The device can be output by edge calculation without pause. (Use ERR type diffusion method, bidirectional, 8 Pass, standard speed).

In practical use, if it is not necessary, please do not use the KF or QC type of enhanced diffusion method and dot matrix image enhancement function, these algorithms will lead to exponential increase in computing time. In general, graphics using the Error algorithm can already satisfy most of the needs. If you also want to increase the speed of operation, then only use the LX algorithm or turn off the "high fidelity color" option. However, this will greatly reduce the image quality. Please use it with caution.

Tip 1: When more than one copy of an image is to be output, use the "multiple copy" function or save the calculated data as a file (*.prt). This eliminates duplicate calculations and improves output efficiency.

Tip 2: When playing while calculating, do not select the output manager (Production Manager) as the foreground (in the window open state). If the output management program is in the foreground, the system will allocate 2/3 of the system resources to the output management program, leaving only 1/3 of the resources for graphics operations, slowing the graphics processing.

On the other hand, if the data transfer speed between the computer and the inkjet printer is slow, even if the image processing speed is high, the inkjet printer will wait for the same phenomenon. We recommend that you use a print cable that conforms to the IEE 1824 standard, and set the PC's print port to the ECP (DMA=3) type, and use the LPT954 in the Photo Print installation CD to update the Windows parallel port driver. The test results for different port types are as follows:
