What are the differences between the six different antialiasing options?

The difference between Box and Pyramidal antialiasing is rather subjective; you will probably need to experiment to determine which you prefer. Low, Medium, and High antialiasing refer to the amount of “blurring” that the antialiasing filters do and correspond to antialiasing super-sampling factors of two, three, and four, respectively. For example, if you were to specify a rasterization resolution of 600 DPI and a super-sampling factor of Low, T-Pro would actually rasterize your PostScript or PDF image at 1200 DPI, and then average pixels together to create the final 600 DPI image. For another example, T-Pro’s intermediate resolution would be 2400 DPI for a final resolution of 600 DPI and super-sampling factor High. Due to the higher intermediate resolution, High antialiasing does result in slower rasterization, but requires no more memory because T-Pro performs banding of rasters that are too large too fit in memory at on time.
