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.
