Usual Setting
Print a series of Check Prints, four to a page, at varying media settings, including ones
with unrelated names, and review to see which offers the optimal output. Then use
this optimal setting when building and using your profile.
The Purpose of This Step
This screen allows users to print Media Setting Check Prints at different driver media
settings (paper type selections) to assure that the media setting choice is optimal
before profiling the printer. If the choice is not optimal, then the resulting profile will
not have the color range or detail it would have from an optimal setting.
The Long Answer
The optimal media setting for profiling and printing on a particular paper may not be
the media setting with the most likely name. It is worth testing a range of media
settings to determine which one will actually perform best with your combination of
settings, colorants, and media.
The Media Setting Check Print shows the entire color universe of your printer, colorant
and media combination, in nine slices of nine steps by nine steps. You can print this
image at different driver media (paper type) settings to assist you in determining
which is most suitable for your combination of printer, colorant, paper, and settings.
