Media in a central role
Paper is both physically and chemically a complex substrate. The properties of paper have a big
influence on ink, the print process and therefore the look and quality of your prints.
Although it takes only seconds, the trip of a sheet through the printer subjects it to many

You perform media assignment and media loading tasks during the job preparation. Media
storage asks for a series of environmental circumstances to ensure that the media remain in
excellent condition.
