LaserWriter IIf & IIg: How FinePrint and TrueType Enhance Output



1) Does FinePrint enhance text only, or graphics too?

2) What is the difference between TrueType and FinePrint?

3) Do the LaserWriter IIf and IIg sense differences between text and
images?

1) FinePrint smooths all black and white objects including:

* Text

* Line graphics

* Line-art scan

2) TrueType (or any outline font technology) scales text to look good at
the printer resolution. FinePrint takes that high-quality 300-dpi text,
and improves the quality further by eliminating the 300-dpi jaggies.

3) The printer differentiates between text and images, so that FinePrint
smoothing is not performed on images. Smoothing images actually
degrades the quality so it is critical to differentiate between these
data types.
