Customizing Media

In VersaWorks, various media settings (print quality for each mode, total number of paths, dot types, total ink amount, printer profiles, etc.) are registered for each printer. You can create custom media by editing these settings after duplicating one of the existing types of media. You can edit new or existing media without duplicating it if Attribute is set to User Defined in the Media Explorer window for the media.
