Pre-Installed Paper Types

Post by riclin »

I couldn't find an answer here so apologies if this is an existing query. I use a couple of A3 Canon printers. Turboprint includes a dozen or so preinstalled "Paper Types" which can be extended with additional profiles. Are the distributed preinstalled Paper Types colour managed, or are they instead simply reference media types to establish ink quantities etc but without colour management??

Thanks

Hello riclin,

the paper types that PrintFab supports "out of the box" do include special color profiles that were created in our lab. When creating new media types / color profile entries in PrintFab you actually have to select a base paper type which is a different selection that determines just printer and paper handling settings (e.g. which black ink is used if pigmented black and dye black are available).
