prtMarkerColorantTonality

Module: Printer-MIB

OID (symbolic): Printer-MIB::prtMarkerColorantTonality

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.12.1.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-only

Description: The distinct levels of tonality realizable by a marking sub unit when using this colorant. This value does not include the number of levels of tonal difference that an interpreter can obtain by techniques such as half toning. This value must be at least 2.

What is prtMarkerColorantTonality?

This read-only value reports how many distinct tonal levels (shades) the marking sub-unit can produce with a given colorant, not counting additional apparent shades created by halftoning; the value is always at least 2 (pure on/off). It gives print-quality software an idea of the color depth a device's engine can natively reproduce for that colorant.
