NAME
       gimpprint-mediatypes - Gimp-Print media types

DESCRIPTION
       Gimp-Print  supports many different media types, which are printer type
       specific.  The option names are case sensitive.  Two names  are  listed
       for  each  resolution; the first (short) name is the mediatype, and the
       second (long) name is descriptive.  Not all media types  are  supported
       on all printers.

       We  have  found  that glossy photo papers not specifically designed for
       Epson printers generally perform poorly in  Epson  printers.   The  ink
       tends  to pool on the paper, causing muddy shadows and possibly leaving
       ink on the printer rollers.  Use of the highest quality printing  modes
       (1440x720  highest  quality  and  2880x720 unidirectional) produces the
       best result on such papers, probably because  printing  is  slower  and
       there is more time for the ink to dry.
