2.2.2.2 Ink Combinations and Corresponding Printing Resolutions
and Printing Methods
The printing resolution and printing method are determined by setting the "Print
medium" and "Printing quality" (can be set using the slide bar) on the printer driver
according to Table 2-5 to Table 2-8 on the next pages. Table 2-5 to Table 2-8 on the
next pages indicate detailed settings in the "Recommended setting" mode and "Manual
setting".

The compatible medium also changes depending on the black ink combination set on
the printer, as indicted in the tables on the next pages. The ink combination is reflected
on the printer driver and "Paper type" on the driver UI is restricted to display only the
usable media. This setting is also reflected on use of the photo quicker and the
incompatible media are designed to be Light-blacked out.
