To work with a paper not in the driver, you can add new paper type to your driver, see To create your
own paper preset on page 37. Adding your paper type to the driver is recommended as it allows you
to store custom parameters, such as a profile, for your paper.
Your new paper type must be based on an existing paper category. The available categories are:
●
Bond and Coated Paper: Fiber-based, thin papers with a matte surface. These papers use
matte black ink relatively low ink limits and high carriage position.
●
Photo Paper: Photo-base, relatively thick papers with variety of finishing from matte to satin to
glossy. These papers use photo black ink, with the exception of Photo Matte Papers, relatively
high ink limits and low carriage position, with the exception of Baryte and Photo Matte Papers.
Generally they will print with the starwheels up.
●
Proofing Paper: A variety of papers from matte to satin and glossy used to simulate commercial
printing with high color accuracy requirements.
●
Fine Art Material: Canvas, matte and paper-base photo materials used for high-quality fine art
printing. These papers use matte black ink, with the exception of Canvas Satin and Pearl
papers, which use photo black. They all use high carriage position with high ink limits.
●
Film: Synthetic film-base materials that generally use photo black, with relatively low ink limits
and high carriage position.
●
Backlit: Synthetic translucent materials that use photo black with high ink limits, high carriage
position and starwheels up.
Black ink is easily removed when touched
TIP: Handle prints with care, especially when they have just emerged from the printer.
It may be that your paper is incompatible with matte black ink. To use non-matte black ink, select
paper type Photo Paper > Gloss Photo Paper.
NOTE: When you select a different paper type, the colors of your print could change visibly.
After printing, the paper has wrinkles or there is too much ink
This happens when too much ink is used. To use less ink, select a thinner category. Matte paper
categories from thinnest to thickest are:
●
Plain Paper
●
Coated Paper
● Heavyweight Coated Paper
● Fine Art Paper
●
Super Heavyweight Coated Paper
●
Thick Fine Art Paper (>250 g/m2)
