Printer Compatibility

At 120gsm, Emperor Red is compatible with a wide range of home inkjet and laser printers. Use your printer's manual or rear feed tray for the straightest paper path. In your printer settings, select Glossy Paper or Photo Paper (Glossy) as the media type — pearlescent paper shares similar surface characteristics with glossy photo paper and this setting gives the best ink coverage and drying results. Set print quality to Best or High Quality.

As a darker coloured paper, Emperor Red will absorb more ink than lighter shades — printed colours may appear differently than on screen, and light or white text may require a higher ink density setting to show clearly. A test print is especially important before committing to a full run. Allow ink to dry fully before handling.
