Mark,
Thanks for the specifics.
Summary:
5 of the 19 PWG Media Type Name list values are in the 25 names in the IBM
Omni list.
14 of the PWG Media Type name list values are not in the IBM Omni list.
5 of the 25 IBM Omni names are in the PWG Media Type name list.
20 of the IBM Omni names are not in the PWG Media Type name list.
Most the 20 IBM names look like they could be added to the current Media
Type Name and adding a description of each. The only ones that seem
somewhat orthogonal, i.e., could apply to a number of Media Types, are:
/* MEDIA_GLOSSY */ "Glossy",
/* MEDIA_COATED */ "Coated",
That is why we put these two into a separate Media Coating Name field in our
"all-in-one" proposal, since they could apply to a number of Media Types.
Lets compare the current Media Type Name from D0.5 with your list:
Media Type Name OMNI equivalent
--------------- ---------------
stationery plain
transparency transparency
envelope envelope
envelope-plain
envelope-window
continuous
continuous-long
continuous-short
tab-stock
pre-cut-tabs
full-cut-tabs
multi-part-form
labels
multi-layer
screen
screen-paged
photographic photographic-paper
cardstock cardstock
roll
and drop 'other'
Lets compare your list with the current D0.5 Media Type Name list (I removed
the comments that were no more than the name).
The "--" means not in PWG Media Type Name list
The "**" means not in PWG Media Type Name list AND seems a good candidate
for a separate field, so that it could be used with a number of other Media
Types.
Media Type Name Omni
--------------- ----
-- /* MEDIA_NONE */ realy means media default,
stationery /* MEDIA_PLAIN
transparency /* MEDIA_TRANSPARENCY
** /* MEDIA_GLOSSY
-- /* MEDIA_SPECIAL
** /* MEDIA_COATED
-- /* MEDIA_BACKPRINT */ "Backprint", type
used for Window
sitcker-print bacwards
-- /* MEDIA_CLOTH
-- /* MEDIA_THICK
-- /* MEDIA_HIGH_GLOSS_FILM
-- /* MEDIA_HIGH_RESOLUTION
-- /* MEDIA_SPECIAL_360
-- /* MEDIA_SPECIAL_720
-- /* MEDIA_PLAIN_ENHANCED
-- /* MEDIA_IRON_ON
-- /* MEDIA_LABECA
-- /* MEDIA_THERMAL
-- /* MEDIA_CD_MASTER */ "CD-master", CD or
CD label
cardstock /* MEDIA_CARDBOARD
-- /* MEDIA_POSTCARD
photographic /* MEDIA_PHOTOGRAPHIC_PAPER
-- /* MEDIA_PHOTOGRAPHIC_LABEL
/* MEDIA_PREMIUM_PAPER
-- /* MEDIA_PHOTOGRAPHIC_PAPER (duplicate?)
envelope /* MEDIA_ENVELOPE
-- /* MEDIA_OTHER
So there are a lot of "--" meaning types that aren't in the Media Type Name
list. It would help to have some English description (more than just the
name) for most of these so we could add them to the PWG Media Type Name
list.
Comments?
