You must choose a media category when you create a new media profile in the RIP.
Only when you edit an existing media profile or when you create a new media profile you can change the media category. It is advised to use the Océ Colorado 1640 media profiles and not change the media category. Only experienced users should edit or create new media profiles and have to choose a media category.
The location of the media category differs, depending on the RIP you are using. For more information, see Manage media profiles in Onyx, Manage media profiles in Caldera.
Use the information on the sticker of the media box, to choose the right media category. When it is difficult to decide, use the overview to choose the correct category.
