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. MEDIA TYPES

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.

gimpprint-inktypes - Gimp-Print inkset types DESCRIPTION
Gimp-Print supports many different inksets, which are printer type specific. The option names are case sensitive. Two names are listed for each resolution; the first (short) name is the inktype, and the second (long) name is descriptive. Not all ink types are supported on all printers. INK TYPES
Epson and Lexmark (other than the 4076) printers Six color printers can print using four color inks or all six colors. Six color mode is recommended for photographs. Four color mode may be useful when printing text with embedded graphics to reduce ink consumption, or to print higher quality with Ordered, Fast, or Very Fast dithering (see below). The "Composite" modes use only color inks (no black) to produce all colors and black. These ink types are rarely useful, but on certain types of paper they may produce a smoother image than that produced by mixing black ink in. The Epson Stylus Color 1500 cannot mix black ink with colored inks; on this printer, Three Color Composite must be used.
