Questions before you print

Does this paper guarantee an accurate or certified proof?

Paper is one part of a proofing system. Epson describes this medium as designed to meet GRACoL standards; the completed proof also depends on the printer, inks, RIP, profile, calibration and verification. Do not assume paper alone establishes compliance.

Which profile or RIP should I use?

Use the profile and setup specified for your exact printer, ink and proofing RIP. Epson lists profile information for EFI Proofing Edition, ColorBurst Edition and Graphic Arts Edition RIPs. Check the current support documentation for your own system.

Will this roll fit my printer?

Check supported roll width, 3-inch core and spindle handling, media thickness and the specified loading method before ordering. Ask Tricera with your exact printer model and intended roll width if you need help.
