II) MAJOR CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS RELEASES
-A) MAJOR CHANGES BETWEEN GUTENPRINT 5.0.0 RELEASE CANDIDATE 2 AND
+A) MAJOR CHANGES BETWEEN GUTENPRINT 5.0.0 RELEASE CANDIDATE 3 AND
+ GUTENPRINT 5.0.0:
+
+ 1) A serious problem with margins when printing from CUPS in some
+ cases was introduced in Gutenprint 5.0.0-rc3. The symptoms are
+ that when printing certain kinds of material on certain printers,
+ the print is positioned incorrectly on the page (too far to the
+ right and too far down the page). This problem has been fixed.
+
+ 2) The Ghostscript driver used with Foomatic now prints all pages of
+ a document correctly. Previously it did not print any page
+ except the first page of a document, or printed all other pages
+ with possibly incorrect settings (bug 1501816).
+
+ 3) A new user's manual has been added in
+ doc/gutenprint-users-manual.odt (ODF format) and
+ doc/gutenprint-users-manual.pdf, replacing the old manual that
+ was based on Gimp-Print 4.2 (bug 1260142).
+
+ 4) The Postscript driver now handles PPD files with non-integer
+ imageable areas correctly in all locales (the PPD files certain
+ HP inkjet printers using the HPIJS driver have non-integer
+ imageable areas for some paper sizes). In 5.0.0-rc3, this was
+ handled incorrectly in locales that do not use the decimal point
+ (".") for separating fractions from integers.
+
+ 5) The PPD file parameter is now always accessible when using the
+ Postscript driver in third party Gutenprint-enabled applications.
+ This was not an issue with the enhanced Print plugin for the
+ GIMP.
+
+ 6) The Epson driver now chooses unidirectional vs. bidirectional
+ mode more intelligently on new printers that are capable of
+ producing excellent quality in bidirectional mode at high
+ resolutions. This improves printing speed with the default
+ settings in certain cases and in some cases improves print
+ quality.
+
+ 7) The Epson driver offers the same quality choices as 5.0.0-rc2 for
+ certain new printers such as the R800, R1800, and R2400. Certain
+ quality choices (in particular Super Photo and Ultra Photo) were
+ not available in 5.0.0-rc3.
+
+ 8) Various minor problems in the PPD files have been fixed. The
+ most notable change is that the names of the option groups have
+ been shortened so that they are shorter than 40 characters in all
+ cases except for one case in French.
+
+ 9) The French, Danish, Hungarian, and Swedish translations have been
+ updated.
+
+ 10) In the GIMP 2.4 and above (forthcoming as of Gutenprint 5.0
+ release), the enhanced Print plugin will be named "Print with
+ Gutenprint" so as not to collide with the GtkPrint-based plugin
+ bundled with that version of the GIMP. The Print plugin bundled
+ with GIMP 2.0 and 2.2 is based on Gimp-Print 4.2; the Print
+ plugin in this package simply replaces the Print plugin in those
+ versions of the GIMP (related to bug 1444700).
+
+ 11) Crashes in the Ghostscript and IJS drivers on certain non-Linux
+ platforms have been fixed (bug 1518126).
+
+ 12) A problem with margins with A4 paper on Kyocera printers has
+ been fixed (bug 1518131).
+
+ 13) A problem with the preview in the GIMP 1.2 plugin (which also
+ affects Cinepaint) not being updated properly if orientation
+ changes has been fixed.
+
+ 14) A problem with Foomatic data generation in certain locales has
+ been fixed (bug 1033007).
+
+ 15) The Epson Stylus Photo R800 and R1800 now print closer to the
+ bottom edge of the page.
+
+The following bugs open in prereleases have been fixed in Gutenprint
+5.0.0:
+
+1033007 Foomatic XML data generation is locale-dependent
+1260142 User documentation needs updating for 5.0.0

-V) SUPPORTED PRINTERS:
-
-A) LIST OF SUPPORTED PRINTERS
-
-The following is the complete list of printers believed to be
-compatible with Gutenprint, along with the name of the driver. Some
-of these printers may work only partially; the specified drivers may
-not support the full range of resolutions, paper sizes, media sources,
-etc. that some of these printers may offer.
-
-Our practice is to provide preliminary support for printers as soon as
-we have information sufficient to code a functioning driver, and to
-release this support even in an otherwise stable release. In this
-case, we note in the list below that support for a particular printer
-is "Experimental". It is likely that printers that are supported in
-"Experimental" mode will produce poor quality at some or all
-resolutions and in addition may not function correctly at some
-resolutions. Experimental Epson printers are most likely to produce
-good output at the highest resolution offered (2880x720, 2880x1440,
-2880x2880, or 5760x2880 DPI), since in general these printers will not
-use multiple drop sizes at such high resolutions.
-
-Note that Gutenprint supports only the printer in multi-function
-devices -- this package does not support scanning, fax, copying, or
-any other function. For scanning, please see the SANE project
-(http://www.sane-project.org).

-
-B) PRINTER-SPECIFIC NOTES:
-
- 1) It is strongly recommended that four color mode not be used on
- the Epson Stylus C63, C64, C65, C66, C70, C80, and CX-5200, and
- the PX-V500 and PX-V600 when printing to glossy papers, as the
- black ink is formulated differently from the color ink and does
- not adhere properly to these papers. Epson Photo Paper, Premium
- Glossy Photo Paper, Premium Luster Photo Paper, and Premium
- Semigloss Photo Paper are known to be affected. If you use the
- default settings (specifically, the Standard ink type), this will
- be handled automatically.
-
- 2) The Gutenprint driver does not in all cases offer the same set of
- resolutions offered by the printer manufacturer's drivers. There
- are a variety of reasons why that is the case:
-
- i) In some cases, we have not determined the necessary commands
- to utilize some resolutions (particularly very high
- resolutions).
-
- ii) In some cases, the advertised printer resolution may not
- match what we determine to be the maximum resolution based on
- our understanding of the printer's capabilities. Sometimes
- the advertised resolution is qualified by a statement that
- implies that the actual resolution may be different from the
- stated resolution. In some cases, we may be able to achieve
- the same number of drops per square inch by means of a
- different resolution. For example, we may determine that a
- printer that is advertised to support 5760x720 DPI in fact
- supports 2880x1440 DPI. This is the same number of droplets
- per square inch (4147200), but with a different aspect ratio
- (the ratio of the horizontal resolution to the vertical
- resolution).
-
- iii) In some cases, we offer additional resolutions not offered by
- the printer vendor. These resolutions may be either lower or
- higher than those offered by the printer vendor.
-
- We frequently offer lower resolutions than those offered by
- the printer vendor to offer a greater choice of printing
- speed. These resolutions will offer low quality but very
- fast printing speed for use where the quality is unimportant
- but speed is of the greatest importance.
-
- In some cases, we offer resolutions higher (or simply
- different) than those advertised by printer vendors. We will
- offer these options if testing determines that these
- resolutions can be used safely and we determine that these
- resolutions offer a potential benefit in quality in some
- cases.
-
- It is almost always better to have a printing resolution with
- a smaller aspect ratio (i. e. the horizontal and vertical
- resolutions are similar). For example, a resolution of
- 2880x1440 DPI is likely to yield superior results to a
- resolution of 5760x720 DPI. Therefore, in some cases we do
- not offer certain resolutions offered by the printer vendor
- (in the case of the Epson Stylus Photo R800, 5760x1440 DPI)
- because they are not likely to yield any benefit (either speed
- or quality) over another resolution that we offer (in this
- case, 2880x1440 DPI Highest Quality).
-
- Indeed, we have received reports that in some cases a lower
- resolution may actually offer improved quality over a higher
- resolution. For example, the Epson Stylus Photo 780 is
- reported to yield better quality at 1440x720 DPI Highest
- Quality than 2880x720 DPI.
-
- We periodically evaluate the list of resolutions we offer to
- decide whether to offer any additional options.
-
- 3) Many Epson printers (specifically, the Epson Stylus Color 740 and
- all newer printers) will not respond to ASCII text without a
- special "activation" sequence (specifically, this command takes
- the printers out of "packet mode"). A brand new printer, or one
- that has been connected to a Windows system, may or may not work
- in packet mode. Therefore, the common suggestion to test a
- printer port by sending plain text to it may not work for these
- printers; failure to print in this fashion is not a positive
- indication that the printer or the connection is malfunctioning.
- These printers are, however, able to print plain text *after* the
- activation sequence is sent.
-
- A suggestion would be to first verify that the printer is capable
- of returning ink levels. This may be done via
-
- escputil -i -r /dev/lp0
-
- (or whatever device your printer is connected to in place of
- /dev/lp0). If this returns status, it demonstrates that the link
- between your computer and printer is working.

-
-VI) LIST OF SUPPORTED OPTIONS
-
-This section details the options available in this release of
-Gutenprint 5.0. More advanced options are subject to change between
-releases, and existing options may acquire additional choices as new
-capabilities are added.
-
-These options are not supported by all printers; depending upon the
-functionality of the driver and printer, different capabilities are
-available for different printers.
-
-----------------
-
-A) BASIC PRINTER OPTIONS
-
- These options control basic printer functions.
-
- Printer Model
-
- Select the printer to use. It must always be
- supplied. When using CUPS or Foomatic, the printer
- will automatically be selected via the chosen PPD
- file; with the Print plugin for the GIMP, it is
- selected in the Setup Printer dialog.
-
- Page Size
-
- Select the paper (media) size to print to. Some
- printers support custom paper sizes, while others only
- support certain preset sizes. This must always be
- supplied.
-
- Note that this option refers to the actual size of the
- media, not the printable area. For example, selecting
- A4 refers to actual A4 paper, whatever the margins may
- be.
-
- Double-Sided Printing
-
- Otherwise known as "duplex" printing, this is offered
- for printers capable of printing on both sides of the
- page. In addition to single-sided printing, there are
- two modes of duplex operation: the page may be flipped
- over its long edge (like a book), or over the short
- edge (like a note pad; this is sometimes referred to
- as Tumble).
-
- This option is new to Gutenprint 5.0.
-
- Media Type
-
- Select the kind of paper or other media being printed
- to. This enables the printer and driver to be set up
- appropriately for the kind of paper in use. Most
- printers offer a choice of supported media types.
-
- It is important to set the Media Type to the correct
- value if possible, or if not to a closely related
- medium. The printer may need to know what kind of
- media is in use to determine how to feed the paper
- correctly; the driver needs to know in order to select
- the right output settings.
-
- Media Source
-
- Select the source of the paper or other media. This
- option is offered with printers that have multiple
- feeds, for example multiple paper bins, manual feed,
- printing directly to a CD, etc.
-
- Ink Set
-
- Select the kind of ink in use in the printer, for
- printers offering different optional inks (for
- example, ink designed for matte paper vs. ink designed
- for glossy paper).
-
- This option is new to Gutenprint 5.0.
-
- Borderless
-
- Select whether to print with borders or not, for
- printers with the capability to print to the edge of
- the page. This is otherwise known as "full bleed".
-
- This option is new to Gutenprint 5.0.
-
- Resolution
-
- Select the resolution to print at (dots per inch). In
- general, higher resolutions produce better quality, at
- the expense of additional time.
-
- As a general rule of thumb, on laser printers and
- older inkjet printers resolutions of 300 DPI or
- thereabouts provide draft quality; lower resolutions
- provide economy draft quality and cannot produce solid
- black. Resolutions of 600 or 720 DPI produce good
- quality output; higher resolutions are useful for very
- high quality image or graphic output. Newer inkjet
- printers, with smaller ink drop sizes, typically
- require higher resolutions to produce acceptable
- output; in some cases even 1440x720 DPI does not
- produce good quality.
-
- Users of Epson inkjet printers have another setting
- available: the Quality option can be used to
- indirectly control the printer resolution, among other
- things. This offers a simpler way to control output
- quality.
-
-
-----------------
-
-B) ADVANCED PRINTER OPTIONS
-
- These options control less frequently used printer options. All
- of these options are new to Gutenprint 5.0.
-
- CD Hub Size
-
- This setting may be used on printers with the
- capability to print directly to a CD. Depending upon
- your choice of media, you may be able to safely print
- all the way to the inner hole of the CD, or you may
- not be able to print any closer than the hub about an
- inch from the center.
-
- CD Horizontal Fine Adjustment
- CD Vertical Fine Adjustment
-
- These settings allow you to shift the position of the
- print while printing to a CD. If you find that your
- print is not centered on the CD surface, you may need
- to adjust these setting to compensate.
-
- Enhanced Gloss
-
- Some newer printers have a cartridge of "gloss
- enhancer", which helps solve the problem of pigment
- inks having an inconsistent lustre on glossy paper.
- Use this option to enable use of the gloss enhancer.
-
- Laminate Pattern
-
- Some dye sublimation printers are able achieve better
- durability of output by covering it with transparent
- laminate surface. This surface can be of different
- patterns: common are matte, glossy or texture.
-
-
-----------------
-
-C) SPECIALIZED PRINTER OPTIONS
-
- These options control unusual printer features. They may be
- useful in certain circumstances; generally the default settings
- will work optimally.
-
- Ink Type
-
- Select which subset of inks to use for printing. For
- example, on a photo printer with additional light cyan
- and light magenta inks, it's possible to print with
- only the standard cyan, magenta, yellow, and black
- inks.
-
- Normally there is no reason to use any setting other
- than the default. Reasons why one might want to use
- it include:
-
- 1) Some black inks are not compatible with certain
- glossy papers. If the black ink smudges on your
- paper, you may elect to use an option without black
- ink (a "composite" setting).
-
- 2) Some inks or paper/ink combinations produce color
- shifts when the light inks are used. If your
- chosen combination produces unacceptable color
- shifts or color casts, you may prefer to use the
- Four Color Standard option, which will generally
- yield more consistent color at the expense of
- "grainier" output.
-
- Printing Direction
-
- Most inkjet printers can print either unidirectionally
- (the head prints only when moving in one direction) or
- bidirectionally (the head prints when moving in both
- directions). Bidirectional printing is generally
- faster, since the printer is printing at all times
- rather than wasting much of the time returning the
- head to the starting position. On many printers,
- however, unidirectional printing produces better
- quality output than bidirectional printing.
-
- The standard setting for this option adapts to the
- printing resolution.
-
- This option is new to Gutenprint 5.0, but Gimp-Print
- 4.2 offered this option in the form of extra
- resolution choices.
-
- Interleave Method
-
- Most inkjet printers create the printed image using
- multiple overlapping passes of the print head. On
- many printers this function is performed within the
- printer itself and cannot be adjusted, but with many
- Epson inkjet printers (and some others), this is
- performed by the driver or may be specified to the
- printer. One advantage of the multiple overlapping
- passes is that it can hide small differences between
- the individual print head nozzles, which would
- otherwise be visible as banding. The different
- interleave methods are different strategies for
- for performing this overlapping; some are better at
- hiding the banding than others. They all require the
- same amount of time to print.
-
- Generally it is not necessary to adjust this; in some
- cases, depending upon your printer, you may find that
- one pattern or another performs better.
-
- On Epson Stylus Pro printers, this option allows
- specifying different overlap patterns within the
- printer. In this case, the choice of overlap pattern
- may affect both the printing time and the quality to a
- significant degree.
-
- This option is new to Gutenprint 5.0.
-
- Adjust dot size as necessary
-
- This option is provided on many Epson inkjet printers
- to allow you to use larger ink drops than those
- normally used for the resolution chosen. This may be
- necessary if you use certain kinds of media or for
- some reason wish to use much more ink (higher density)
- than the default. It should not be necessary to use
- this option.
-
- This option is new to Gutenprint 5.0.
-
-
-----------------
-
-D) BASIC OUTPUT CONTROLS
-
- Output Type
-
- This option specifies whether to print in color or
- black and white/grayscale (using only black inks).
- Black and white printing is generally faster than
- color printing, even if the item being printed is
- entirely black and white. However, printing with only
- black ink may yield a "grainy" appearance.
-
- This option was present in Gutenprint 4.2, but it
- offered an additional option of "black and white",
- which printed everything as either black or white (no
- grayscale). The Gutenprint 5.0 equivalent is to set
- Color Correction to Threshold.
-
- Color Correction
-
- This selects the choice of color correction method
- within Gutenprint. The following options are
- presently offered:
-
- * DEFAULT: Select a color correction mode appropriate
- for the document type being printed.
-
- * HIGH ACCURACY: Apply optimum color correction to the
- output to produce the best color quality. This
- corrects the hue, brightness, and saturation
- (brilliance of color). This is the normal setting
- to use for printing photographs or graphics if you
- are not using any external color management.
-
- * BRIGHT COLORS: Apply color correction to the output,
- but generate more brilliant colors in some cases.
-
- * CORRECT HUE ONLY: Apply color correction to the
- output, but correct only the hue. This option does
- not correct brightness and saturation.
-
- * UNCORRECTED: Do not apply any color correction to
- the output beyond generating linear output. This is
- the best setting to use when utilizing external
- color management; the high accuracy modes employ
- correction algorithms that may not work well with
- color management.
-
- Note that if you use color management you should use
- profiles created with Gutenprint and with the exact
- settings that you plan to print with. Profiles
- provided by the printer vendor are calibrated for
- the vendor's driver, which may not be identical to
- Gutenprint's calibration. In addition, profiles
- created using Gimp-Print 4.2 or earlier will
- generally not perform well with Gutenprint 5.0.
-
- * DESATURATED: Print in pure grayscale, but using
- color inks. The result is somewhat different from
- printing in black and white using the Output Type
- option -- the driver may use color ink, which
- generates smoother output and may yield better
- results on many papers.
-
- * THRESHOLD: Convert all colors to fully on or fully
- off, eliminating all gradual tonal gradations. The
- result is that the output will consist of all very
- pure colors.
-
- * DENSITY: Correct only the amount of ink ("density"),
- otherwise performing no correction at all, even for
- linearity. Prints made with this option will
- usually be very dark if no other color management is
- used. This may be useful if you are printing in 16
- bit precision or are using your own linearization
- curves.
-
- * RAW: Perform no correction at all, even for
- density. Prints made with this option will be very
- dark and may bleed (or even puddle!) ink if not used
- with external color management and linearization.
- This option may be useful if you are using external
- color management and linearization to get extremely
- saturated dark colors by using more ink in
- individual channels. It should be used with extreme
- caution, as it is very easy to damage the printer if
- you are not careful.
-
- * PRE-DITHERED: Interpret each pixel as the actual
- size of each drop to be printed. Legal values of
- the drop sizes differ between printers; all printers
- support 0 (no droplet) and 1 (the largest droplet).
- Some printers support four levels (0, 1, 2, and 3).
-
- This option is new to Gutenprint 5.0, but its function
- was partially encompassed by the Image Type option.
-
-
- Image Type
-
- Specify the option that best describes your print job.
- Your choice here will affect the processing of the
- print job. Currently available settings are:
-
- * TEXT: Optimize the output for printing black text
- with no graphics. This option results in crisp
- output and is very fast, but will yield very poor
- results with any color or grayscale graphics.
-
- * GRAPHICS: Optimize the output for printing color
- graphics. This option will generate smooth, bright
- output.
-
- * MIXED TEXT AND GRAPHICS: Optimize the output for
- printing a mixture of text and graphics.
-
- * PHOTOGRAPH: Optimize the output for printing
- photographs. This option will generate smooth
- tones and high quality colors, but will be slower
- than the other options.
-
- * LINE ART: Optimize the output for printing black and
- white line art with intricate detail.
-
- * MANUAL CONTROL: Do not bias the output at all; use
- only the settings specified by the user.
-
- This option was present in Gimp-Print 4.2, but with
- fewer choices and more restrictions on their use. Its
- functioned more like the Color Correction option in
- Gutenprint 5.0.
-
-
- Print Quality
-
- Specify the desired output quality using convenient
- presets. Where this option is available, Gutenprint
- will automatically adjust the printing resolution and
- other options to generate the desired quality.
- Settings chosen with this option may be overridden by
- explicitly setting other settings, such as resolution.
- Not all printers offer all of these options.
- Currently available settings, in increasing order of
- quality, include:
-
- * FAST ECONOMY: Use the fastest printing mode
- available on the printer to print with a minimum
- amount of ink. This option will produce very washed
- out colors and grays, and will typically be
- extremely grainy and streaky.
-
- * ECONOMY: Print very rapidly with a reduced amount of
- ink. This option will produce washed out colors and
- grays and will typically be quite grainy and
- streaky.
-
- * DRAFT: Print low quality draft output quickly. This
- option will typically produce acceptable colors with
- some amount of grain on plain paper, but will
- typically produce washed out and grainy output on
- high quality papers. On some printers this may
- employ a special draft mode to print especially
- quickly at the expense of color fidelity.
-
- * STANDARD: Print at a normal quality level for text
- or text/graphics on plain paper or basic inkjet
- paper. This option will typically produce
- acceptable colors, but on high quality papers the
- output may be grainy or somewhat washed out. This
- option may also be useful for printing draft copies
- of photographs on coated inkjet paper.
-
- * HIGH: Print final copies of text or text/graphics on
- plain paper or inkjet paper. This option will
- typically produce good color quality, but the
- quality may not be optimal for photographs on glossy
- paper. This option may also be useful for printing
- draft copies of photographs on glossy paper.
-
- * PHOTO: Print photographs on glossy paper or very
- high quality text, text/graphics, or line art on
- high quality paper. In the latter application this
- will produce output close to laser printer quality.
- On the highest quality premium papers the result may
- still be a bit grainy.
-
- * SUPER PHOTO: Print photographs on glossy paper with
- very high quality. This will generally yield very
- good results on high quality premium paper but may
- be overkill on other papers. This option is only
- offered on printers capable of producing very high
- quality output rivaling traditional photographic
- printing. This option may also be appropriate for
- very intricate line art, where the required
- resolution may exceed the capabilities of laser
- printers.
-
- * ULTRA PHOTO: Print photographs on premium papers
- with extremely high quality. This option is only
- offered on printers capable of producing extremely
- high quality output matching or exceeding
- traditional photographic printing.
-
- * BEST: Print with the best quality available on the
- printer for the application chosen. This may be
- equivalent to one of the other settings; on a very
- few printers the resolution may exceed that of Ultra
- Photo mode.
-
- * MANUAL CONTROL: Do not adjust the settings at all;
- use only the settings specified by the user.
-
- This option is new to Gutenprint 5.0.

-----------------
-
-E) BASIC OUTPUT ADJUSTMENTS
-
- Saturation
-
- This option controls the vividness of the output
- color; higher values produce more vivid colors. Very
- low values produce muted colors; setting this to zero
- produces gray.
-
- Contrast
-
- This controls the contrast of the output. Lower
- values produce less tonal range in the midtones
- (lighter colors become darker, and darker colors
- become lighter), which may allow for more definition
- in the highlights and shadows. Higher values do the
- opposite: lighter colors become even lighter, while
- darker colors become even darker.
-
- This option behaves differently from its equivalent in
- Gimp-Print 4.2. In Gimp-Print 4.2, setting contrast
- less than 1 changed the white point and black point:
- white became light gray and black became dark gray.
- In Gutenprint 5.0 this control changes the shape of
- the curve, but the black and white points remain the
- same. The Linear Contrast Adjustment option described
- below restores the Gimp-Print 4.2 behavior.
-
- Brightness
-
- This control adjusts the general brightness of the
- print; higher values produce generally lighter output,
- while lower values produce generally darker output.
- White and black are not changed; colors also retain
- their hue and saturation.
-
- This option behaves differently from its equivalent in
- Gimp-Print 4.2. In Gimp-Print 4.2, setting brightness
- greater than 1 caused black to print as gray, while
- setting brightness to less than 1 caused white to
- print as gray. In Gutenprint 5.0 this control changes
- the shape of the curve, but the black and white points
- remain the same.
-
-
-----------------
-
-F) ADVANCED OUTPUT ADJUSTMENTS
-
- These controls adjust more specialized settings.
-
- Dither Algorithm
-
- Since inkjet printers have a limited set of ink colors
- (normally cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), most
- colors have to be produced by mixing the available
- inks. This is done by printing patterns of very small
- dots, fooling the eye into seeing many different
- shades. This process is called "dithering"; several
- different patterns are available, with trade-offs
- between speed and quality. The following dither
- algorithms are currently available. If no algorithm
- is selected, the driver chooses an appropriate one
- based on other option settings. The following
- algorithms are currently available, generally in
- increasing order of quality.
-
- * VERY FAST: This algorithm produces very rough,
- patterned output, but is extremely fast. This
- generally yields poor results on modern inkjet
- printers, particularly models that offer multiple
- drop sizes, but it can yield very good results on
- laser printers. It is a good choice for printing
- text or line art where no grayscale or color is
- used, and also works very well when Threshold color
- correction is used.
-
- * FAST: This algorithm also produces output with very
- strong diagonal patterns, and is also quite fast.
- It produces somewhat better results on modern inkjet
- printers that offer multiple drop sizes, but offers
- no advantages on laser printers or old (generally
- pre-1999) inkjet printers.
-
- * ORDERED: This algorithm produces much smoother
- output than Fast or Very Fast. It is somewhat
- slower than those algorithms. It utilizes a fixed
- pattern that is generally free of artifacts, but it
- has some noise (roughness of texture) that may be
- objectionable with smooth-toned images. It is an
- excellent choice for printing draft copies of
- business graphics or photographs (charts, etc.) due
- to its lack of artifacts.
-
- * ADAPTIVE HYBRID: This algorithm produces slightly
- smoother output than Ordered dithering, at some cost
- in performance. It uses a fixed pattern in
- highlights to avoid artifacts, and error diffusion
- at higher densities to reduce noise. It is an
- excellent choice for printing business graphics due
- to its lack of artifacts and smooth texture in
- darker tones.
-
- * EVEN TONE: This relatively new algorithm yields
- excellent smoothness in all tones (light, midtone,
- and shadow), but is considerably slower than most of
- the other algorithms. It is somewhat prone to
- artifacts, including "tearing", at sharp boundaries.
- This algorithm is well-suited for printing
- photographs, but is not as suitable for printing
- solid-tone graphics.
-
- * HYBRID EVEN TONE: This algorithm combines Even Tone
- and Ordered dithering to yield smooth results with
- fewer artifacts than Even Tone dithering, but is
- even slower than standard Even Tone. It uses the
- fixed pattern of Ordered dithering to break up the
- artifacts of Even Tone dithering. The result is not
- quite as smooth as pure Even Tone, but the reduction
- of artifacts makes this an excellent choice for
- photographs or photographs mixed with other
- graphics.
-
- * PREDITHERED: This is used in combination with
- dithering performed outside of Gutenprint or with
- printers that perform their own dithering. It
- assumes that the output is already dithered and
- generates the appropriate drops based only on the
- values provided.
-
- Linear Contrast Adjustment
-
- The standard contrast control does not adjust the
- black and white points of the output; black in the
- input becomes black in the output, for example. The
- result is that if contrast is reduced below 1, the
- contrast in the highlights and shadows is actually
- increased to keep the same total tonal range.
-
- Gimp-Print 4.2 used a different kind of contrast
- control. In Gimp-Print 4.2, reducing the contrast
- reduced the contrast throughout the tonal range,
- resulting in white being printed as a light gray and
- black as a dark gray (reducing the contrast all the
- way to zero resulted in a uniform gray). If contrast
- was increased, the contrast was stretched until the
- output reached either black or white; anything lighter
- always printed as white and anything darker as black.
-
- Turning this control on selects the old Gimp-Print 4.2
- behavior. This control is normally turned off.
-
-
-----------------
-
-G) OUTPUT DENSITY (INK QUANTITY) CONTROLS
-
- These controls adjust the amount of ink printed on the page.
- These controls may be used to darken a solid, pure black, or
- eliminate puddling (wet ink left on the paper that does not dry in
- the printer) if needed. They may also be useful for adjusting the
- behavior of non-standard inks. They should not be used to lighten
- or darken the print if the black level is correct.
-
- These controls are adjustments -- they adjust the amount of ink
- relative to the amount selected by the driver for the paper and
- resolution chosen.
-
- Density Value
-
- This control adjusts the total amount of ink used in
- all channels (ink colors).
-
- Black Density Value
- Blue Density Value
- Cyan Density Value
- Magenta Density Value
- Yellow Density Value
- Red Density Value
-
- These controls adjust the amount of ink used by each
- channel separately. They may be used to correct the
- amount of ink if needed to strengthen or weaken
- particular colors (e. g. if yellow is too strong or
- too weak). They should not be used to correct gray
- balance (to produce neutral gray) -- the gray balance
- controls described below should be used for that
- purpose.
-
- These options are new to Gutenprint 5.0.
-
- Ink Limit Value
-
- This control adjusts the maximum amount of ink that
- the driver will use to print with. This may be used
- if you want to use large amounts of particular inks to
- achieve saturated dark colors, without using excessive
- ink overall that will result in ink puddling or
- spilling within the printer. This control should be
- used only by people very experienced in inkjet
- printing.
-
- This option is new to Gutenprint 5.0.
-
-
-----------------
-
-H) GRAY BALANCE CONTROLS
-
- These controls adjust the gray balance by changing the amount of
- each color of ink used to produce gray. For example, if gray
- prints somewhat greenish, it can be corrected by increasing the
- magenta balance. These options are new to Gutenprint 5.0.
-
- Magenta Balance Value
- Yellow Balance Value
- Cyan Balance Value
-
-
-----------------
-
-I) OUTPUT GAMMA CONTROLS
-
- These controls permit adjusting the gamma (exponent) of the
- transfer curves of the individual channels. On most printers,
- using a linear ink scale (that is, the amount of ink is directly
- proportional to the input value) will produce very dark
- highlights, as even quite small amounts of ink produce very strong
- colors or gray. Therefore, the driver uses less ink to produce
- lighter colors. This does not affect the darkest tones.
-
- Setting these controls to larger values results in lighter
- highlights and midtones and increase contrast in the dark tones,
- while lower values result in darker midtones and highlights with
- reduced dark tone contrast. These controls are adjustments --
- they adjust the gamma relative to the gamma chosen by the driver
- by multiplying them together. For example, if the driver uses a
- gamma value of 2.0 for a particular printer, and you specify a
- gamma of 0.75, the actual gamma used to print will be 1.5.
-
- Composite Gamma Value
-
- This control adjusts the gamma of all available ink
- channels when printing in color.
-
- This option is equivalent to the Gamma option in
- Gimp-Print 4.2.
-
- Black Gamma Value
-
- This control adjusts the gamma of the black channel
- when printing in grayscale.
-
- This option is new to Gutenprint 5.0.
-
- Cyan Gamma Value
- Magenta Gamma Value
- Yellow Gamma Value
-
- These controls adjust the gamma of individual channels
- when printing on printers that use cyan, magenta, and
- yellow inks (all inkjet printers use CMY inks). These
- gamma values are multiplied by the composite gamma
- value and the gamma chosen by the driver.
-
- Note that the black gamma value is not used when
- printing in color. That is because the amount of gray
- is computed after the gamma transformation has been
- applied to each channel, and the black channel is
- synthesized from this value. The GCR Transition Value
- serves as a gamma value for the black channel. In
- addition, there are no gamma values for the special
- channels for printers that offer additional inks (such
- as red and blue) for similar reasons.
-
- These controls are equivalent to the Cyan, Magenta,
- and Yellow controls in Gimp-Print 4.2.
-
- Red Gamma Value
- Green Gamma Value
- Blue Gamma Value
-
- These controls adjust the gamma of individual channels
- when printing on printers that use red, green, and
- blue inks (Postscript printers and many dye
- sublimation printers use red, green, and blue colors).
- These gamma values are multiplied by the composite
- gamma value and the gamma chosen by the driver.
-
- These options are new to Gutenprint 5.0; Gimp-Print
- 4.2 referred to them as Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow even
- if the output was RGB.
-
-
-----------------
-
-J) GRAY GENERATION CONTROLS
-
- These controls adjust the conversion of gray into black ink and
- composite (CMY) components. When printing in color, light grays
- are often printed using composite inks rather than black ink to
- reduce the speckling effect of dark black dots, while dark grays
- and black are usually printed using black ink to achieve a darker
- black. With some ink and paper combinations it is necessary to
- use a mixture of black and composite components to achieve maximum
- density and in some cases to achieve neutral grays (some pigment
- black inks are actually brown).
-
- The effect of using too much or too little black ink varies.
- Typically if too much black ink is used light colors and grays
- will have noticeable speckling from the black drops, while if too
- little black ink is used the midtones and dark tones will be
- washed out and in some cases too much ink will be used leading to
- puddles on the page. In some cases very large amounts of
- composite ink cause color shifts (darker grays are not neutral).
- Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper seems to be particularly prone to
- this problem, particularly with dye inks.
-
- In general, lower-quality papers require more black ink (composite
- inks generally cannot create very dark tones), while higher
- quality papers require less black ink (the composite inks can
- create much darker grays, and the black dots appear much sharper).
-
- Setting these controls effectively requires a good understanding
- of gray generation and a fair amount of experimentation. Normally
- it's only necessary to set the paper type correctly to get good
- results.
-
- These options are all new to Gutenprint 5.0.
-
- GCR Lower Bound Value
-
- This control specifies the darkest shade of gray at
- which no black ink will be used (i. e. any lighter
- gray component will be printed using only composite
- inks). Setting this control to zero means that some
- amount of black ink will always be used; setting it to
- 1 means that no black ink will ever be used.
-
- GCR Upper Bound Value
-
- This control specifies the lightest shade of gray at
- which no composite CMY ink will be used (i. e. this
- level of gray and higher will be printed using only
- black ink). This control should never be set any
- lower than the GCR Lower Bound Value. Setting this
- control to zero means that only black ink is used to
- print any gray value; setting this control to a value
- greater than one means that some composite ink will be
- used even when printing black. The upper limit for
- this control is 5 (in which case black will be printed
- with no more than 20% black ink).
-
- If you use an ink set requiring use of color inks to
- produce neutral grayscale, you should set the GCR
- Lower Bound Value to zero or a value very close to
- zero and the GCR Upper Bound Value should be greater
- than 1, along with a GCR Transition Value (below) of
- 1. This will ensure that the proportion of black and
- color inks will be close to constant throughout the
- gray range. With this kind of inkset, it's often
- possible to produce cool or warm toned grayscale
- prints by selecting Desaturated color correction and
- adjusting the GCR Upper Bound Value appropriately.
- For example, if the black ink has a brown (warm) cast,
- increasing the GCR Upper Bound Value will yield a
- cooler tone (less black ink) while decreasing it will
- yield a warmer tone (more black ink).
-
- GCR Transition Value
-
- This control specifies the gamma of the GCR transition
- curve. Setting this control to a smaller value
- results in less black ink being used in the lighter
- portion of the transition region. This control is
- useful if the black ink is much darker than the
- composite inks in order to produce a smoother
- transition.
-
- GCR Curve
-
- This control (only available through the Print plugin
- for the GIMP or other Gutenprint-based applications
- that provide curve capability) allows you to specify
- the conversion curve from gray to black/composite
- precisely. The horizontal axis of this curve
- represents the gray level (between 0, or no gray at
- all, and 1, or pure black); the vertical axis
- represents the fraction of gray that is converted to
- black (0 means only composite inks, and 1 means only
- black ink).
-
-
-----------------
-
-K) OUTPUT LINEARIZATION CURVES (GIMP Plugin Only)
-
- These controls permit adjusting the transfer (linearization)
- curves of each channel precisely. They are only available through
- the Print plugin for the GIMP or other Gutenprint-based
- applications that provide curve capability. All of these controls
- are considered to be for very advanced use only. These options
- are all new to Gutenprint 5.0.
-
- Black Curve
- Blue Curve
- Cyan Curve
- Magenta Curve
- Yellow Curve
- Red Curve
- Green Curve
-
-
-----------------
-
-L) DETAILED COLOR CORRECTION CURVES (GIMP Plugin Only)
-
- These controls permit adjusting precise characteristics of color
- generation/correction. They are only available through the Print
- plugin for the GIMP or other Gutenprint-based applications that
- provide curve capability. All of these controls are considered to
- be for very advanced use only.
-
- The horizontal axis of all of these curves represents the hue of
- the output. Hue is measured as an angle, where 0 and 360 degrees
- represent cyan (or red, if the output inks are RGB).
- Conventionally, these angles are represented as a number between 0
- and 6 (each full number in this scale represents 60 degrees). The
- specific hue angles for CMY and RGB outputs are as follows:
-
- \ Ink Type
- Angle \ RGB CMY
- ----- \ --- ---
- 0 | Red Cyan
- 1 | Yellow Blue
- 2 | Green Magenta
- 3 | Cyan Red
- 4 | Blue Yellow
- 5 | Magenta Green
- 6 | Red Cyan
-
- These options are all new to Gutenprint 5.0.
-
- Hue Adjustment Curve
- Luminosity Adjustment Curve
- Saturation Adjustment Curve
-
- These controls adjust the color correction in High
- Accuracy, Bright Colors, and Correct Hue Only color
- correction modes. These color correction modes work
- by adjusting the hue, saturation, and luminosity (HSL)
- of the output inks to achieve a more accurate color
- than the color created by simply converting the red,
- green, and blue inputs to cyan, magenta, and yellow
- (or red, green, and blue) inks. Note that in this
- printing context luminosity represents darkness
- (amount of light subtracted) rather than brightness.
-
- The saturation and hue adjustments are first applied.
- The luminosity correction operates on only the color
- component of the output. Before this correction is
- applied, any gray value is removed, and added back
- after the correction is completed.
-
- The vertical axis of the Hue Adjustment Curve
- represents an angular difference that is added to the
- base hue value to generate the desired output. For
- example, if the blue output is purple (too close to
- magenta), adding a negative value to that range of the
- output will bring the blue value more toward cyan
- (less magenta).
-
- The vertical axis of the Saturation Adjustment Curve
- represents an amount by which the saturation is
- multiplied. At any given hue point it may take on any
- value between 0 (eliminate all color saturation, which
- is equivalent to converting to pure gray) and 4
- (dramatically boost the saturation). Therefore, this
- adjustment may be used to tone down excessively
- brilliant colors (e. g. if the reds are overly
- brilliant) or brighten up dull colors (e. g. if the
- greens are somewhat dull). This control has no effect
- if Correct Hue Only is used. If the saturation value
- is greater than 1, the effect differs depending upon
- whether High Accuracy or Bright Colors mode is
- selected: if Bright Colors is selected, the saturation
- is simply multiplied by the desired value and then set
- to 1 if it would exceed unity. If High Accuracy mode
- is selected, the amount of saturation boost is
- decreased if the starting saturation is high.
-
- The vertical axis of the Luminosity Adjustment Curve
- represents an amount by which the luminosity is
- multiplied. At any given hue point it may take on any
- value between 0 (remove the color component
- altogether) and 1 (leave it as is). Therefore, the
- function of the Luminosity Adjustment Curve is to
- lighten excessively dark colors rather than to darken
- light colors. This control has no effect if Correct
- Hue Only mode is used.
-
- Blue Map
- Cyan Map
- Magenta Map
- Yellow Map
- Red Map
-
- These curves control how the auxiliary red and blue
- inks are used on the Epson Stylus Photo R800, Stylus
- Photo R1800, and PictureMate family of printers.
- These printers use auxiliary inks to achieve more
- brilliance in the red and blue. Other printers in the
- future may use other auxiliary channels, which will be
- made available in similar fashion.
-
- The vertical axis of each of these controls specifies
- the amount of each ink that should be used to print
- colors of that hue. These curves are used only to
- generate color; any gray component is removed prior to
- the color generation and added back later. For
- example, it is possible to specify that a certain
- shade of purple is printed using .2 red ink, .6
- magenta ink, and .5 blue ink (hypothetically).
-
-
-----------------
-
-M) SPECIALIZED OUTPUT CONTROLS
-
- These controls are used to modify the output in very
- printer-specific ways. These options are all new to Gutenprint
- 5.0.
-
- Gloss Level Value
-
- This control is provided on printers such as the Epson
- Stylus Photo R800 and R1800 that offer a special gloss
- enhancer to produce an even degree of gloss on glossy
- papers regardless of the amount of ink used. On
- certain glossy papers, areas with high ink coverage
- are a lot glossier than areas with little ink coverage
- (highlights); the gloss enhancer is basically a
- transparent ink that increases the gloss of these
- areas. This control specifies the desired total
- amount of ink to be printed, including both the normal
- color and black inks and the gloss enhancer. If the
- amount of normal inks is less than this amount, gloss
- enhancer is used to increase the total amount of ink
- used.
-
-
-----------------
-
-N) TRANSITION CONTROLS
-
- These controls adjust the level at which light inks (such as the
- light cyan and magenta inks used on many "photo printers") are
- used in place of the dark inks. The light inks are used to
- produce a smoother texture (less speckling); the light cyan
- droplets, for example, are individually much less visible than the
- normal dark cyan droplets.
-
- The ink substitution works by replacing a certain amount of ink by
- a mixture of the light and dark inks. For example, the dark cyan
- ink may be about 3 times as dark as the light cyan ink, so in
- light areas the cyan may be replaced by 3 times as much light
- cyan. However, this only works up to a certain point; beyond that
- point, adding more light ink does not significantly increase the
- darkness of the ink. These transition values adjust the limits at
- which the ink substitution is done; the lower these limits are
- set, the lighter the output at which dark ink is introduced.
- Setting these values lower will generally yield more accurate
- midtone colors at the expense of more speckling in the light
- midtones and highlights. Generally these values need to be lower
- on low-quality paper than on high quality glossy paper.
-
- These options are all new to Gutenprint 5.0.
-
- Dark Yellow Transition Value
- Light Gray Transition Value
- Mid Gray Transition Value
- Dark Gray Transition Value
- Gray Transition Value
- Light Cyan Transition Value
- Light Magenta Transition Value
- Light Yellow Transition Value
-
-
-----------------
-
-O) FOOMATIC-ONLY OPTIONS
-
- This control is available only when using the Foomatic interface.
- It provides a collection of presets appropriate for various
- printing tasks. It is similar in concept to (and provided the
- inspiration for) the Print Quality and Image Type options provided
- in Gutenprint.
