issues. Its important to keep in mind that lower quality papers often exhibit problems
in the areas described, and that for some paper, printer and ink combinations these
issues cannot be eliminated, only minimized. On better papers, there may be multiple
media settings that offer acceptable results. So consider your media setting tests a
check of whether you wish to use a particular paper with your printer, as well as what
setting to use when profiling it and printing through your custom profile.
Black Generation: check how your printer, colorant and media combination work with
the particular media setting to create near black tones. Patches near the black patch
in the upper left hand corner, and in the nearby planes may vary with different media

• Avoid settings that print too many near black patches, blocking up entire groups of
patches.
