If you are unsure which profile to choose, you can print samples using
several different profiles and decide for yourself which gives the best print
quality.
Many of our customers prefer high-grammage printing materials (about 170
g/m²), and there is a generic media profile best suited to such materials.
Choose Heavyweight Coated, and then HW Coated 2. This profile is
