Printing modes are explained here.
| • | If you require the job to be printed in High Quality mode, select this option. |
Note: The availability of High Quality mode depends on the material selected.
| • | If you require the job to be printed in High Speed mode, select this option. |
| • | If you do not require the job to be printed either in High Quality or High Speed mode, select . |
This setting enables the Objet260 software to determine (just before printing) the most efficient way to print the tray. Digital Material mode is used if this removes the need to perform the Material Replacement procedure. Otherwise, High Speed mode is used.
For example, if printing the tray requires only one of the model materials loaded in the printer, only the two print heads using that material are used to print models—Digital Material mode. (High Quality and High Speed modes call for printing model material with four heads, which would require you to perform the Material Replacement procedure.)
On the other hand, if printing the tray can be done using four print heads without running the Material Replacement procedure, High Speed mode is used. This is possible if all print heads are supplied with one model material, or if you allow printing with an arbitrary mixture of similar materials (see below).
Model Quality When Digital Material Mode is Used
- Near-high-quality is achieved for most models.
- If all objects on the tray are inserted from individual stl files, they are printed with the standard resolution of 600 dpi (dots per inch) along the Y‑axis—unless glossy finish is required (see Surface Finish).
- If there is an assembly on the tray, all of the models on the tray are printed with a resolution of 300 dpi along the Y-axis.

The Model Material Substitution dialog box opens—if this is relevant for the tray. (If not, the Job Summary dialog box opens—continue with step .)
