Hello Tom and all,
I have some questions about the following cases:
Q1: If a sheet is Photo Papar with tabs, what's a Media Type name
(MEDIA_PHOTOGRAPHIC_LABEL or photographic or tab-stock) ?
Q2: If a sheet is Photo Paper of a high gloss film, what's a Media Type Name
(MEDIA_HIGH_GLOSS_FILM or photographic) ?
I think it's better to add "high-gloss-film" to Media Coating Attribute (like a
"glossy","high-glossy" etc. ), because "high-gloss-film" represent a coating.
If so, I could specify a Media Type("Photogpaphic") and Media coating
("high-gloss-film") in the Q2 case.
I'd like to add the following media types(*) and media coating (**) to existing
list.
==================================================================
Canon Media | media type | media coating
==================================================================
High Gloss(Photo )Film | Photographic | high-gloss-film (**)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Photo Paper Pro | Photographic | high-gloss
------------------------------------------------------------------
High Resolution Paper | stationery(?) | coated (**)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Back Print Film | BackPrintFilm(*) | none
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fabric Sheets | stationery(?) | fabric (**)
