I opened my first pack of Canon Fine Art Photo Rag Paper today. I wanted to a bit of printing before my seminar session for this evening started.
I went through the whole ritual of carefully selecting my shot (Photo Rag ain't cheap - the shot has to be worth printing on this paper), calibrating and profiling my display, soft proofing in Photoshop, etc.
It was frustrating when I began to print on my Canon Pro9000. I couldn't select Canon Photo Rag from the media type driver settings. Photo Rag along with the other Canon Fine Art papers was grayed out.
I checked, double checked, triple checked my Page Setup and Printer settings. I even called up Junar of Canon Marketing Philippines for some advice. It was during my conversation over the phone with Junar that I realized that I had not tried something yet. I went back to my computer and specified Fine Art Border (35) in the Page Setup.
That did the trick :D I'll finish printing my stuff tomorrow morning at my studio. I'll then go off to my framer and get the prints mounted and framed.
You learn something new with each passing day.
