The measure of compliance of a bar code symbol to the requirements of dimensional tolerance, edge roughness, spots, voids, reflectance, PCS, quiet zone, and encodation.

The measure of compliance of a barcode symbology to the requirements of dimensional tolerance in terms of edge roughness, spots, voids, reflectance, print contrast ratio and quiet zone width.

The measure of how a bar code symbol adheres to the requirements of dimensional tolerance, edge roughness, spots, voids, reflectance, PCS, quiet zone, and encoding.

Usually you can choose from at least Draft, Normal, and Best. Better quality means smoother lines and smoother transitions in gradient backgrounds. For some printers you can choose the dots per inch (dpi). The more dots, the higher quality the printing.

The overall excellence of a printed piece. Paper, ink, press, and the skill of the press operators all affect print quality.

Generally, the lower the quality, the faster the print speed and less ink used. The higher the quality, the slower the print speed and better print results.

The clarity of printer output, often determined by resolution.

A general term which refers to the visual impression of a printed piece.
