ABSTRACT:
An engine renders digitally represented images in a reduced marking material mode and in other modes. A digitally represented unsharp mask of an image is produced and combined with the image. When in the reduced marking material mode, the unsharp mask is given a relatively high weight, such as 2.0 or higher. When in another mode, such as a normal printing mode, the unsharp mask is given substantially less weight, such as about 1.0.
