Model Quality When Digital Material Mode is Used
• Near-high-quality is achieved for most models.
• A tray of objects inserted from stl files are printed with the standard
600 dpi (dots per inch) resolution along the Y-axis—unless glossy finish
is required (see “Surface Finish” on page 25).
• If there is an assembly on the build tray, all of the models on the tray are
printed with a resolution of 300 dpi along the Y-axis.
