Digital BW, The Print

Stephen, I know "media type" means "kind of paper." What I'm trying to
find out is what -- if anything -- this setting actually does.

The Epson driver changes its ink curves based on the media type setting.
But that shouldn't be happening here, since I select the curves I want
in the Curves selection box.

What -- if anything -- changes in how the QuadTone RIP prints if I
select, say, Matte Paper instead of Luster in the Media Type selector in
QTR GUI, but don't change curves?
