imagePROGRAF HDI Driver Guide Setting Up a Print Job ■ Selecting the Media Type and Ink Type Use these settings to set the media and ink type. 1. Select the media type from the Media Type list under Media and Ink Settings. Note • Here is a list of the types of media that can be selected. Plain Paper, Fine Art, Coated Paper, Glossy Photo Paper, Synthetic Paper, and others • The type of media that you can use for printing depends on the type of black ink in use. • For the Media Type you must select the setting for the media actually loaded in the printer. If the Media Type selection is not the same as the media actually loaded in the printer, the print results will not be correct. • Click the Media Detailed Settings button to open the Media Detailed Settings dialog box. In this box you can perform the settings for the ink drying time and other items. For more details, please refer to "Media Detailed Settings" (p.3-7). 2. Use this setting to set the Ink Type. Ink Type presents the following items for selection. Ink Type Photo Black (Bk) Matte Black (MBk) Setting Details This selection is best suited for printing photographs due to its superior color reproduction capabilities. Due to its high density, this ink is ideal for printing line drawings, or any type of document created with a CAD system. Important • The type of media that can be selected for printing depends on the ink type specification. • If the black ink selected for Ink Type does not match the ink type of the tank actually loaded in the printer, the printer will issue an alert on the printer operation panel. You must then decide whether to execute or stop the print job. • To achieve the best possible results in printing, stop the print job when the message appears on the operation panel, and then perform the settings so the Ink Type selection and type of black ink tank in the printer are the same. 3. Click the OK button. ■ Color Matching and Brightness Settings Adjust Color Matching and Brightness to achieve the best color tones in printed drawings. 1. From the Color Matching list select the color matching method. Color Matching presents these following items for selection. Color Matching Saturation Perceptual (Photographic) Colorimetric Setting Details This item does color matching with priority on saturation. This item does color matching with priority on color tones to reproduce the best results in printing photographic images. This item places priority on reducing the differences between the color tones you seen on the computer screen and those you see in the printout, so the printout more closely resemble the colors of the original (a color logo, for example). 3-6
