I tried a new round of tests when I got home this evening, and
positioning seems to be working great. I then tried a more or less full
size print of a scanned (at 450 dpi) photo, printed at 1440x720 on
coated paper. The results were not as good as I expected. Dithering in
a blue sky was grainy, and greens did not fare well at all. Otherwise,
it looked OK, although some adjustments in contrast and saturation would
help. Some experimentation is probably needed to find good default
values fro all the sliders across a variety of scene types.
I know that it isn't as grain-free as the Windows driver. We might
need to adjust the dot size stuff (was this variable dot size or
single dot size?) some, too.
I also found is that it is way too easy to tell the printer to print off
the page, which results in a bunch of blank paper being thrown around.
Is this something we could try to pick up in the gui and enforce a limit
before it gets to the driver? At the moment its kind of late, and I'm
not quite sure how to go about it.
It does, if you select the right paper size and if we have the borders
correct.
