Different types of media may give better image quality based on specific mechanical and electrical settings
in your printer. To optimize image quality you can perform a series of test prints for the media type that you
are using. Based on the results you can then adjust the printer settings for the media type.
To adjust the printer settings for a media type, you can modify existing media types or create new ones.
Before creating or modifying a media type for the media you intend to use, print the IQ print to determine
the overall quality that you get with one of the existing preset media types. Some media types may require
no printer setting adjustments.
●
Load your new media and select a media type that is similar to the media you are loading (Refer to
Manage media types).
●
Print the IQ print (Refer to
Print the Image Quality print).
If the IQ print is satisfactory you can use the preset media type for printing.
If the IQ print is not satisfactory, create a new media type or modify the one selected (Refer to
Manage
media types).
●
Calibrate the printer for the media type (Refer to
Calibrate the printer).
●
Change the media type settings (Refer to
Modify media type settings).
●
Print the IQ print again to check the overall image quality with the new settings.
If you are still not satisfied with the image quality, you may need to make more adjustments to printer
settings, such as the print mode or the heater temperature. For a description of image quality problems
that you may see and the recommended solution (Refer to
The problem is print quality).
