Media Purchasing Specifications

The following purchase specifications are intended for
the person who orders your print media. It is possible
that even when these specifications are met, operating
environment inconsistencies might keep the paper
from measuring up to its optimum capabilities. Always
test a representative sample before making a large
purchase of any print media.
