An embodiment described below provides a system that allows a user to provide an exact implementation or a close approximation to any desired Holladay dot to a printer with super-resolution encoding (SRE)/decoding (SRD) capabilities. In particular, the embodiment converts a desired Holladay dot to an SRE dot. The SRE dot or SRE look-up table may be uploaded to a printer that supports SRE/SRD.
