- >Super_DJC vs PD Drivers for HP DESKJET 500C
-
- I have experimented a little with a couple PD drivers and found them
- roughly equal to S_DJC. None of them produce a very pleasing substitute
- of a true black. I have not worked hard on some of the finer points of
- software control for the PD drivers. Not enough hours in the day. I have
- found that the S_DJC can easily be adjusted through the Amiga Pref. For
- example I have them set with threshold and density maxed out. This improves
- the "black" from a sickly green to a washed out pale grey. A relative
- improvement to say the least.
-
- We use the printer 99.9% for graphics so I know little of the text and font
- features of the drivers.
-
- So that's some more data if not a clear cut answer. I think this is
- definitely a printer you learn to live with. My budget doesn't have room
- for anything better so I'm going to have to.
