Increase # of Passes

[pkeshtgani]

Hi Everyone,
I been searching the web for while to find answer on this question. But I can't seem to find any answer to this question. How do I increase the number of passes on HP FB500? Is it just change the DPI, i.e. changing from 600X300 to 600? Also we use Onyx Postershop 11 for ripping.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers,

Not familiar with that Rip or a Printer, but on my HP L25500 I control the number of passes in the RIP. You can choose between 6 and a lot
You should see if there are any tabs in the RIP that the pass number is under.

Good luck

I don't know what it says in Onyx, but that's what things like "Indoor Signage," "Indoor Signage Plus," "Photo" etc do. They control the number of passes.

So I dont have an FB500. But for my HP 260 pass settings are in media manager under basic print mode settings. Then click mode options button.

Thats how it is in Onyx as well. That would make sense now. Thank you for the help.

i wish it was as simple as latex printers. What nate says thats how it is I guess.

I find the FB700 we have simpler than the latex, even more than the dumbed down L360.. using Onyx.

We mainly print using 'Indoor Signage' @600dpi and this gives us a good balance of quality and speed. I'm not sure how many 'passes' this is but it works. You can even override the ripped print speed on the printer itself. If you rip in' Outdoor Signage Plus' you can go lower passes, and if you rip in 'Indoor signage' you can up the passes if need be.
