Bought a new printer. One of the paper settings is Hagaki. What is
this paper? What does it look like?
Also, I have some paper that is (intentionally) not smooth. I think
it may be called parchment paper, but I'm not sure about that. My new
printer doesn't have this paper type option, but it has many others.
Anyone recommend a paper setting for this type of paper?
Thanks a lot, regards, dnw.
Wow, talk about time travel, its 2021 and I'm asking the same question.
I did a little research and as most of you said Hagaki is a Japanese
paper type normally 4 by 4 inches.
"Hagaki" means post card in Japanese.
I was running some test prints and it seems to print really well on
FELT PAPER, MATTE LINEN, COATED LINEN and even METALLIC PAPER.
I used a Canon Pixma TS9020 Inkjet Printer. I'm very impressed with
this mode, I never used it till today however be careful when using
the the Inkjet Hagaki K vs Hagaki A as one seems to spread the in more
and the other gives just enough.
Yeah, Hagaki means postcard in Japanese.
Standard "hagaki" is generic non-photo media, like you usual postcard
that you write on and then maill. Size is 100x148mm.
There is also a (forget the name) double or wide hagaki, which is the
long or folding version. Maybe called "Hagaki 2" in some manuals, it is 200x148mm.
Effectively, this resolution mode is similar to a plain media mode.
Then postcards started being produced with a surface fit for inkjet
photo printing (i.e., photo paper). This type of postcard is desginated
as "inkjet hagaki".
I think there was later a more high quality photo type of hagaki called
"inkjet photo hagaki".
More recently, modes have been split between the address (A) side and
the image/design (K) side. Lets of wasted modes!
So one gets:
inkjet hagaki (A) - address side of an inkjet hagaki, which is basically
plain old hagaki mode
inkjet hagaki (K) - design side of an inkjet hagaki
inkjet photo hagaki (A) - address side of an inkjet phoyo hagaki, which
is basically plain old hagaki mode
inkjet photo hagaki (A) - design side of an inkjet photo hagaki
hagaki (A) - address side of standard old hagaki, which is plain old
hagaki mode
hagaki (K) - design side of standard old hagaki, which is also just
plain old hagaki mode
That said, the firmware may make small adjustments to the printing even
if the resolution mode looks the same in the printjob data. But from my experience, I cannot see any difference in the output between the three
(A) media selections on my iP and MP series printer/multifunction
device.
Hope that helps.
