Setting printer options
When printing your images with ACDSee, you can specify which printer you want to use, and set the
printer options.
Printer options
Printer Specifies the printer you want to use.
Select a printer from the drop-down list and click the Properties button to set
its options. Refer to the printer manufacturer's Help file or manual for more
information.
Click the Color Management button to set color management options.
Copies Specifies the number of copies you want to print.
Print range Select one of the following options:
• All: prints all of the pages in the document.
• Pages from: prints a range of pages. Specify the first and last pages of the
range in the fields.
Resolution Specifies a resolution in pixels-per-inch (PPI) for the image. The higher the
value, the more dots per inch, and the higher the resolution of the printed
image. For example, 600 PPI is 360,000 (600 x 600) pixels per square inch.
Filter Specifies the resampling filter to use when printing images. Click the drop-
down list and select one of the following:
• Box: displays considerable tiling or jaggies when you resize an image.
• Triangle: produces good results for image reduction and enlargement,
but displays sharp transition lines.
• Bicubic: produces good results with photo-realistic images and with
images that are irregular or complex. Uses interpolation to minimize the
raggedness normally associated with image expansion.
• Bell: smooths the image.
• B-Spline: produces smooth transitions, but may cause excessive blurring.
• Lanczos: produces the sharpest images, but may also introduce some
ringing artifacts.
• Mitchell: produces smooth transitions when enlarging photo-realistic
images. This filter is good compromise between the ringing effect of
Lanczos and the blurring effect of other filters.
Use gamma
correction
Applies gamma correction to the printed images. Type a number from 0.10 to
3.00 in the Gamma value field to adjust the gamma of the image. Higher
values make the image appear brighter, while lower values make the image
appear darker.
