What is the difference between 6, 8, and 12 pass?
A 6 pass profile will require the print head to laterally travel 6 times to print 1 linear inch. Lower pass numbers tends to lead to lower resolution and faster printing speed. Higher pass numbers tends to provide higher resolution but slower print speed. So 6 pass printing is faster than 12 pass printing but tends to have lower quality. In general, 4-6 passes are usually good for banner, 8-12 passes can be for car wrap and canvas printing, and backlit uses 12-20 passes as it needs a high ink load.
