Reduce print data

You can reduce the amount of data to be sent to the printer. Reducing the print data increases the print speed because the print files are smaller. This makes it easier for printers with a smaller memory to print. Reducing print data can result in slightly lower print quality.

Settings for

Specifies whether the print settings apply to direct printing or to printing to a file.

Reduce transparency

If you mark this field the transparent objects will be printed like normal, non-transparent objects, depending on your selection in the following two option buttons.

Note: Transparency cannot be output directly to a printer. The areas of the document in which transparency is to be visible must therefore always be calculated as bitmaps and sent to the printer. Depending on the size of the bitmaps and the print resolution a large amount of data may result.

Automatically

Specifies that the transparency is only printed if the transparent area covers less than a quarter of the entire page.

No transparency

With this option transparency is never printed.

If this field is marked, gradients are printed with reduced quality.

Gradient stripes

Intermediate color

High/normal print quality

Resolution
