Selecting the Correct Paper Type
Select the correct Type or Media Type setting so your printer knows what kind of 
paper you’re using and adjusts the ink coverage accordingly. Certain paper types may 
be unavailable depending on which black ink cartridge is installed. See “Matching 
Black Ink to Paper Type” on page 68. 
* These papers are optimized for use with premium ICC profiles. See page 53 for details.
