* Unlike other printmodes, the 18-pass printmode has 1200 dpi x 1200 dpi input data resolution at 1 bpp (1
bit per pixel). Therefore, to generate a 18-pass media preset you should start either from an existing 18-pass
preset or from scratch. In the same way, do not clone an 18-pass media preset to generate a preset with a
print mode other than 18-pass.
