If you have any problems feeding your Finestra Art Paper, make sure you have the Platten Gap/Paper Thickness set properly for the paper you are using. Many of our papers are thicker than the office papers that most printers default to. All-In-One printers and HP printers tend to have the lowest default tollerances and a quick check of your user manual for thick paper setting instructions will save you frustration trying to feed thick paper.

 * The reason a Luster profile is used for Metallic Silver and Gold etc. is that these papers have a unique paper color. Creating a profile for these surfaces would result in the silver or gold being characterized out of the paper. Adding brightness/saturation isn't mandatory but since you are printing on a surface darker than white, adding can give you a more dynamic print.
