    Hi Nairda, when printing tints with the FX the finish will be slightly ‘speckly’ as it prints dots.

    To minimize this you could go to print options click on ‘Halftone’, select Edge Family, in Image fills select GerberTone STC Photo and knock the LPI up to 300.

    Then in print options, Print Mode select 600 x 300 DPI and then you should get a good print.

    I think the max LPI the Edge can handle is 70.7 LPI. Once you pass that you start to get wierd results.
