A few years ago we were shown two identical prints using our ink on different backlit media. One looked great, and the other terrible. Another area worth experimenting in is the printer hardware and software. Many printers have adjustment switches for different media that can make the difference between a good print and a pool of ink. Printer software also offers settings that adjust the ink flow depending on the type of media being used.
Software settings are critical.
It's shocking how many users are unaware of these choices in their software, because it makes or breaks their ability to produce a high quality image. Once you find a set that works, Moore recommends putting it through rigorous testing to make sure the combination is stable. But you have to watch for a chemical interaction between the coating and the ink. Just as it was three years ago, the prevailing advice is still to experiment with the printer settings and different combinations of ink and media to find a match that suits you best. Personal tastes play a large part in the process.
