Select a print mode

Introduction

You can select a print mode that best suits your application. Choose a gloss or matte finish and select your print mode in the RIP software.

The location of the print modes differs, depending on the RIP you are using. For more information, see Manage media profiles in ONYX, Manage media profiles in Caldera.
