Nobuyuki-san,
Sorry for the delayed response. See my comments below. I will
have the two items indicated in the next version
=================================================================
Media type :
'backprint-film' - Separately cut sheets of a translucence film that
can be viewed with or without rear illumination.
RB>> I suggest "photographic-film". Unless you object, I will add
RB>> with the new name.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Media coating :
'high-gloss-film' - the media have a "high-glossy-film" coating.
(The reason I'd like to add is in the questions(Q2)...)
RB>> We have a "high-gloss" now, why is this not acceptable?
RB>> "high-gloss" can be used with either "photographic" or
RB>> "photographic-film"
'coated' - the media which are easy for a ink to fix
RB>> "ink to fix"? Is it broken? May I suggest "Indicates the media
RB>> has a coating that minimizes the spread of liquid inks."
'fabric' - the media which made by weaving or felting or knitting or
crocheting natural or synthetic fibers
RB>> "fabric" is a "media stock" rather than a "media type".
RB>> (We will most likely add "media stock" next.)

Subject: definitions for media
Hello Ron-san and Tom-san,
This time, I send a E-mail to Ron-san and Tom-san.
Because IPP members seem not to be interested in Media Names Spec
Discussion and I don't know whether this mail is useful for members.
But, I hope we will find a best way about the medias.
# If the following contents is useful, please transmit it to IPP ML.
