The LQ series is not capable of TRUE 360 DPI. In that res. (density 4 from prefs) the dots are not aligned directly in a grid fashion, but each row it offset diagonally from the last. Now add the fact that a nylon ribbon is being used and your greyscale and color dithering look quite muddy. It's the same way on any LQ-compatible (including my Citizen GSX-140). You will have to use density 3 instead for dithered/greyscaled/shaded output. density 4 is really only good for text, lines, etc.

Hello Roger Sorry for the slow reply. First, I know very little about the use of the graphics mode of this printer, as I am sure you already know. I bought the printer primarily for the high print speed and one graphic dump application. Now I have a NEED to learn how to program the use of the graphics. My manual has 11 options for graphics mode. Six are for eight pin use, and five are for 24 pins. It sure looks like I am going to spend a lot of time in preference graphic2. I thank you for your help. Jesse Shadle West Chicago, Illinois I will be gone for 4 days, have fun………
