Rev. 1.0
Determining weight
To determine the media’s weight, see the label on the media packaging. If the label does not specify a weight, note the
thickness and flexibility of the media. Generally, the thicker and less flexible media is, the greater is its weight.
Matte versus glossy
To determine the media’s finish, see the label on the media packaging. If the label does not specify a finish, look to see if
the media is smooth and shiny. If so, you will probably get the best print quality by using one of the glossy types (depending
on its weight). If the media is not smooth and shiny, it probably has a matte finish.
