I think gamma is the most needed. You could call it 'darkness' or
'lighter-darker'.

Brightness, as the density of light tints, is much less needed. How dark
the darkest will be is more a function of the paper type. But I must
admit: I have not played with the settings at all.

I meant things like 'Highest Quality 1440x720' instead of '1440x720 -
may not work
on some models'

I have scanned my printouts again.

They can now be found at:

The magenta smear is a scanner problem. There is a little hint of the
shadow near the hairline. It is visible with teh bare eye as well.

I hope the file names are self explanatory.
http://people.a2000.nl/ztonino/dither/files/me2.jpg again is the
original image. Color differences seem to be caused more by the scanner
than by anything else.

With the bare eye, 1440 High Quality Random FS looks best on the 600 -
at least with this picture.
