Title: Settings 4 printing on poster board
Post by: Remko on October 30, 2008, 09:29:45 am

Hi all,

I got an Epson sample pack on the Photokina.

I want to make a print on Epson´s Enhanced Matte Posterboard, which is quite thick. I wonder what the right settings are in Epson´s driver for both "thickness" and "platen gap", as selecting "Pro4000 Enhanced Matte" as Media Type does not do the trick for posterboard.

Anyhow, any suggestions for the correct settings in the printer driver are greatly appreciated.

cheers,
Remko

For anyone interested, I got some info from one of the paper suppliers here in the Netherlands on the settings to be used.
Just made a print so I can confirm it works.
 
The settings are:

paper thickness: 7 mm
platen gap: wider

Profile: Pro4000-C8 Enhanced Matte Paper Board for Epson_MK" (downloaded from Epson's website)
Media setting: Enhanced Matte.
