What is the difference in the “Raster Quality Factor� setting and the“Rasterized Quality Factor� setting?Problem# 68130.
The Raster Quality Factor and the Rasterized Quality Factor settings arefound in the PDF.pltcfg, Printer.pltcfg and the Pscript.pltcfg printdriver configuration files.In the Hpglrtl.pltcfg printer driver configuration file, the RasterQuality Factor setting is called Raster DPI and the Rasterized QualityFactor is called Rasterized DPI.The Raster Quality Factor is the ratio of printer driver resolution toraster resolution, as a percentage. That is, 100 means that raster datashould print at the driver resolution. Setting it to 50 results inraster data printed at half the available resolution, which may bedesirable if the print's file size is a bigger concern than outputquality.This setting is in the Raster Printing section in the .pltcfg file. This property applies to Raster Manager attachments in non-rasterizedprints, such as JPEG printed to non-rasterized PDF.The Rasterized Quality Factor is the ratio of printer driver resolutionto raster resolution, as a percentage, when printing in rasterized mode.That is, 100 means that rasterized prints should be made at the driverresolution. Setting it to 50 results in rasterized prints made at halfthe available resolution, which may be desirable if print's file size isa bigger concern than output quality.This setting is in the Advanced section of the .pltcfg file. Thissetting is applied to the plot output only if Rasterized is enabled inthe Print dialog interface or Print Organizer interface.Because prints containing fine line work could be badly decimated if notrasterized at device resolution, reducing the rasterized quality factoris not recommended.Problem# 68130.
