PRINTING NOTES
The print driver media settings recommended in the
Compatibility section are intended to provide usable
results with available media profiles found in the printer
manufacturer’s provided drivers and RIPs. These
recommendations will provide proper ink laydowns with
no pooling or bleeding, and color which will be
acceptable for many applications. It is suggested that
tests be run using these recommendations and color
corrections be made to meet user expectations.
In cases where no recommendation is made,
choose the media setting closest to the KODAK
Wide-Format Inkjet Media you are using. This should
give you a print which requires little or no adjustment
to get usable results.
Profiles for KODAK Fine Art Media
For more exacting color, icc profiles supporting KODAK
media for a variety of HP, EPSON, CANON, ENCAD, and
KODAK printers are available for use with the printers’
driver and with ONYX Postershop. For more
information visit Kodak's website at:
www.kodak.com/go/wfiprofiles
based inks are essential to meet these life-time
expectations. The media is compatible with dye-based
inks, but Kodak has only performed limited testing. It is
recommended that you test the dye performance to
ensure that it meets your requirements.
Photo and Matte Black Inks
Many current printers provide the user with the choice
of a Photo or Matte black ink when printing to matte
surface and other fine art papers. KODAK Fine Art
Textured Paper / M315DP is compatible with both
types, but for maximum density and richness of detail,
select the Matte black setting in your printer driver.
Profiles for other KODAK Wide-Format Inkjet Media
ICC profiles are available for many KODAK WideFormat Inkjet Media for use with the printers’ driver in
applications such as ADOBE Photoshop. For more
information visit Kodak's website at:
www.kodak.com/go/wfiprofiles
Custom Profiles
While the above printing recommendations and
available profiles from Kodak will provide adequate
results for many wide-format inkjet applications, there
are applications, such as inkjet proofing, which demand
more exacting color requirements. It is suggested that
for these applications, custom profiles be built for given
ink/media/printer combinations. Many color
management and profile building software applications
are available which allow the user to manage color to
meet their needs. Also, many RIPs will provide color
profiling options which allow the user to control the
color of their output. Please contact your dealer or
KODAK Technical Support for help determining the best
solution for your application.
Pigment and Dye-Based Inks
KODAK Fine Art Textured Paper / M315DP is intended
primarily to be used in applications such as
photographic and fine art reproductions where longterm image stability is required. Typically, pigment-
