Proofing Profile paper type acronyms

Question

I am trying to get an excellent print from my Canon MX722 directly from Aperture 3 under Yosemite on my iMac.In the menu bar under VIEW I have onScreen Proofing checked, and when I drop down the items for Proofing Profile, I get a list of what I think are paper choices ... the drop down looks like ...  canon mx720 series GL2                                     GL3                                     MP2                                     PT1                                     PT2                                     PT3                                     SG2/LU2                                     SG3/LU3I assume GL is Glossy, SG is semi-gloss, MP is Matte Paper can&#x27;t figure out PT or the numbers.  I called Canon - and they did not know what the abbreviations were either. Said it was specific to Aperture - suggested I search Aperture Help and Google.  I did both but can not find any definition. The tech did say that to get the best pix it was extremely important to set the correct paper type as the amount of ink that went onto the paper was determined by this.
