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.
KODAK does not recommend using Premium Rapid-
Dry Photographic Paper with the HP PHOTOSMART
PRO B9180 Printer.
RIPs and Profiles for ENCAD and Other Printers
For more exacting color, several third party RIPs (Raster
Image Processors) are available with profiles supporting
KODAK media for ENCAD, KODAK and other printers.

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.
Matte Black Inks
Matte Black inks, intended to be used with coated and
fine art papers, are not compatible with porous
photographic papers, never drying and easily smudged
from the paper's surface. Check with your printer and
ink manufacturer for complete details on the proper
usage of this type of ink.
