Method for profiling a print medium for use in a printing system , the printing system configured to print on profiled print media and comprising - a print controller for controlling print system parameters to be applied when printing on the print medium, - and a user interface , wherein the method comprises the step of a) receiving a print job for printing on a first print medium, the method characterised in that - the print controller comprises a two-dimensional media print mode table of media print modes for print media to be printed upon, wherein each media print mode is uniquely determined by a uniquely determined combination of at least a first print system parameter of print speed of the printing system and a second print system parameter of coverage of the marking material and comprises an indication item of a suitability of the print medium when said media print mode is applied, the indication item indicating a good, bad or conditional suitability, and - the user interface is configured to display the two-dimensional media print mode table for a print medium, wherein the method comprises the further steps of b) retrieving (S2) the two-dimensional media print mode table for the first print medium, c) investigating (S4) if media print modes in the two-dimensional media print mode table for the first print medium which have a conditional suitability are suitable for printing the print job, d) modifying (S5) the two-dimensional media print mode table for the first print medium based on the investigation in step c), and e) the user interface displaying (S6) the modified two-dimensional media print mode table for the print medium. - a print controller for controlling print system parameters to be applied when printing on the print medium, - and a user interface , wherein the method comprises the step of a) receiving a print job for printing on a first print medium, the method characterised in that wherein the method comprises the step of a) receiving a print job for printing on a first print medium, the method characterised in that - the print controller comprises a two-dimensional media print mode table of media print modes for print media to be printed upon, wherein each media print mode is uniquely determined by a uniquely determined combination of at least a first print system parameter of print speed of the printing system and a second print system parameter of coverage of the marking material and comprises an indication item of a suitability of the print medium when said media print mode is applied, the indication item indicating a good, bad or conditional suitability, and - the user interface is configured to display the two-dimensional media print mode table for a print medium, wherein the method comprises the further steps of b) retrieving (S2) the two-dimensional media print mode table for the first print medium, c) investigating (S4) if media print modes in the two-dimensional media print mode table for the first print medium which have a conditional suitability are suitable for printing the print job, d) modifying (S5) the two-dimensional media print mode table for the first print medium based on the investigation in step c), and e) the user interface displaying (S6) the modified two-dimensional media print mode table for the print medium. b) retrieving (S2) the two-dimensional media print mode table for the first print medium, c) investigating (S4) if media print modes in the two-dimensional media print mode table for the first print medium which have a conditional suitability are suitable for printing the print job, d) modifying (S5) the two-dimensional media print mode table for the first print medium based on the investigation in step c), and e) the user interface displaying (S6) the modified two-dimensional media print mode table for the print medium. <EOS>
