Pro-1 Fine Art with margins versus Matte Paper without margins

niklasclem — Tue, 21 Jan 2014 18:00:54 GMT

On Mac OS X 10.9 I'm using a Canon Pro-1 with "Canon Print Studio Pro".

I know, that it is a normal behavior, when I'm using "Fine Art Paper", that a margin of 3cm is setted.

Nevertheless: For some prints I need to override this constraint.

Question:

When I'm using for "Media Type" the setting "Matte Photo Paper" in "Canon Print Studio Pro", it is possible to print on Fine Art Paper without margins.

The margin is changed, but: Does the Pro-1 change other printer settings like using only lesser SW or Colors, lesser DPI or something else in these setting?

What I mean: Which impacts to the print quality does the settings (Matte Photo Paper vs. Fine Art Paper..) have, when all other settings remain unchanged (same profile etc.)?

I haven't observed any quality loss by using "Matte Photo paper" vs the fine art settings when I don't want the large border.

Of course things change.

The printer can effect the size of the dots, the amount of ink and the speed at which it prints. Now whether this is acceptable or not is totally up to you.

Thanks for info.
But is there any "reliable information", I mean definitive description from Canon which will explain this point?

I haven't seen it, if there is.
