The Mantel "Computer to Screen" system utilizes 4 print heads with various output settings to optimize both speed and resolution. The DataScreen can operate in a 360 DPI up to a 1440 DPI based on the complexity of the artwork. Most vector files will run in the 360 or 720 mode for speed. Halftones of 65 to 85 LPI will run in the 1080 or 1440 mode. Print quality and output speed are linked together.

Other variables will also affect the output speed and resolution:
Single print head up to 4 print heads
Uni-directional vs. Bi-directional
Standard Dot - Micro Dot - Super Micro Dot
Portrait vs. Landscape
