[Gimp-print-devel] print-3.1.3/Ghost + GS 6.01 + Epson 740

[Frank v. M. <F.v...@in...>]

I like the result. For photographs with pale areas the result
is definately better than ghostscript 6.01 uniprint. Still, I
think it could be improved.

For epson 740, the following -dQuality has been tested:

4  720 DPI Highest Quality		(doesn't work)
5  1440 x 720 DPI Microweave		(doesn't work)
6  1440 x 720 DPI Softweave		(ok)
7  1440 x 720 DPI Highest Quality	(doesn't work)

"doesn't work" means the printout was completely white or
completely black, nothing in between so far.

-dDither tested:
0  Hybrid Floyd-Steinberg		(minor artifacts)
2  Random Floyd-Steinberg		(good)
4  Adaptive Random Floyd-Steinberg	(good)

2 and 4 are practically identical.
Common parameters: -sDEVICE=stp -dModel=12 -dDensity=0.8 -r1440 -dImageType=2

In the source I saw a papersize mentioned "4x6". GS bails out at the end
reporting that it's an unknown paper size however. Same happens for
"Postcard".

An SMP enabled dithering would be nice ;-)

Thanks for the good work!
