Element Properties
These are options that allow you to compensate for print gain or print loss resulting from the properties of the printing process or substrate.
For linear barcodes, the amount by which to reduce the bar widths to compensate for inkspread, in points.
For matrix barcodes, the amount by which the reduce the width and height of dark modules to compensate for inkspread, in points.
For MaxiCode, the amount by which the reduce the width and height of hexagons to compensate for inkspread, in points.
- Negative values will increase the bar width.
Code 39 for a printer with very runny ink:
Data: TEZ
Options: inkspread=0.6
Encoder: code39
For matrix barcodes, the amount by which the reduce the width of dark modules to compensate for inkspread, in points.
Note: inkspreadh is most useful for stacked-linear type barcodes such as PDF417 and Codablock F.
For matrix barcodes, the amount by which the reduce the height of dark modules to compensate for inkspread, in points.
For matrix barcodes, render the modules as dots rather than squares. The dot radius can be adjusted using the inkspread option.
