3. OPTIMIZE SUBSTRATE SETTINGS
HP and third-party media presets use their own settings which have been optimized to maximize printing

an option to reset substrate settings to these defaults so that you don’t have to change each one manually;
consult your RIP documentation. Moreover, you can consult many available media presets in:

Default substrate settings are determined by the substrate family, which are the categories available from
the printer’s front panel at substrate load time. They are divided into main and advanced settings.
