gimpprint - High quality raster image printing library SYNOPSIS
#include <gimp-print/gimp-print.h> DESCRIPTION
The gimpprint library routines give programmers an interface to print high quality bitmap images on most modern printers. It includes drivers which provide printing quality for UNIX/Linux on a par with proprietary vendor-supplied drivers in many cases, and can be used for many of the most demanding printing tasks.

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
Epson and Lexmark (other than the 4076) inkjet printers Media Type Description ------------------------------------------ Plain Plain Paper PlainFast Plain Paper Fast Load Postcard Postcard GlossyFilm Glossy Film Transparency Transparencies Envelope Envelopes BackFilm Back Light Film Matte Matte Paper Inkjet Inkjet Paper Coated Photo Quality Inkjet Paper GlossyPhoto Premium Glossy Photo Paper Luster Premium Luster Photo Paper Photo Photo Paper Glossy Photo Quality Glossy Paper Ilford Ilford Heavy Paper Other Other 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.
