Paper profiles
Each supported paper type has its own characteristics. For optimum print-quality, the printer changes
the way it prints on each different paper type. For example, some may need more ink and some may
require a longer drying time. So the printer must be given a description of the requirements of each
paper type. This description is called the “media” or “paper” profile. The paper profile contains the ICC
profile, which describes the color characteristics of the paper; it also contains information on other
characteristics and requirements of the paper that are not directly related to color. Existing paper profiles
for your printer are already installed in the printer's software.
However, as it is inconvenient to scroll through a list of all paper types available, your printer only
contains paper profiles for the most commonly used paper types. If you have a paper type for which
your printer has no profile, you cannot select that paper type in the front-panel display.
