You should consider that each person has their own perception and their own subjective opinion about the result; this is because there are various factors that can influence our opinions, such as the type of photo (portrait, landscape...), the source color space, the media used, the environmental conditions, the subjective perception about your own image, etc.... This means the printing suggestion may not completely match with your own personal opinion. 1. First recommendations: • Refer to the Media type functionality & features and choose the most appropriate media. • It is essential that you have the media type correctly calibrated with the printer, refer to the Calibrate my printer section. • In order to get a correct display, it's also essential that you have the monitor profiled, refer to the Profile my monitor document. • If the paper that you are using is not listed, or if you cannot find a paper type that resembles yours closely enough, we strongly recommend creating a new Custom Paper Type. You can add a custom paper automatically by using the HP Color Center; refer to the Add and profile a new paper type document. 2. Open Macromedia FreeHand MX. 3.
