PhotoGrade

PhotoGrade, later also known as Color PhotoGrade, is a developed by Apple Computer to improve the appearance of grayscale and color images by allowing LaserWriter models to print with finer s than normally allowed by the native resolution of their laser printer engines.
==History==
PhotoGrade was introduced in October 1991 as an option in the LaserWriter IIf, and as a standard feature of the LaserWriter IIg. The increased levels of gray resulted in images with smoother halftones and reduced . In some entry level models, printer's memory needed to be upgaded to enable this feature.LaserWriter IIf, Low End Mac. 1991-10-01.New Printers & Scanner by Mark H. Anbinder, TidBITS #159. 1993-01-18.
Color PhotoGrade was introduced in June 1995 with the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS, allowing the 600-dpi printer to simulate near-photographic quality produced by higher-resolution color printers of up to 2400-dpi.Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS and 12/660 PS (PDF) by Apple Service Source, Apple Computer. 1996-11-13.
