    ps vs pcl for cad

    The imagePASS have pcl and ps.
    Ps do very well in pictures but it does not work cad
    defined lines.
    Pcl out fine lines.
    This I tested on T1 and a imagePASS imagePRESS
    Q1 server.
    The customer purchased Q1 and has this problem
    CAD files.
    The imagePRESS Server Q1 much more expensive thanimagePASS
    T1.
    because you only have ps Q1.

    An imageRunner is not a Printing Press

        Try the UFRII Driver
        In the UFRII driver, on the Quality tab you will see a selection for "Objective". Select "Designs (CAD)" and see how that does. This selection is for CAD and helps with the reproduction of fine lines and detail.

        In the UFRII drivers, in the print properties under "Quality" there is a setting for "High Definition Text". This may do a better job.

          It is known that the best is the colorpass.
          because it doesn't have pcl driver.
          the for the imagepass has ps and pcl are more cheap.
          some technical of efi will be in the Forum.

            The imagepress C1 doesn't come with UFR printing so the multi-pdl kit would have to be installed. In me experience CAD drawings never print well through an ImagePass or ColorPass system.

            You also brought up the GX-100 and H1 which go on the 5180 series. You can disable either of these devices and install the generic UFR II driver from Canon's website and do some tweaking in there to get the device to pretty good. The internal PCL has always worked well for these type of applications.
            Accidents don't just happen. They must be carelessly planned.

              well the same I think.
              Here the customers provide the imprecion service and receive all kinds of files from a photo, advertising up to cad, gis.
              These have the Q1, gx100.
              deveria do drivers pcl for these, when it comes to cad, gis.
              PS when it comes to photos or advertising.
              What are their views.
