Note:
  • Do not touch or allow anything to come into contact with the printed side of paper with a shiny finish. After printing on media, allow the ink to set for a few hours before handling them.

  • Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to be fully ejected.

  • Make sure that the paper stack is flush with or lower than the  mark on the edge guides.

Paper handling instructions
When storing printouts
  • Do not touch the printed side or stack your printouts until the ink is dry.

  • To avoid scratching the image, be sure not to rub the printed side of the paper. If the printed side is rubbed too strongly, ink may come off the paper.

  • Do not stack printouts with the image sides touching.

  • Do not stack printouts and conventional film photographs with the image sides touching.

  • If you stack printouts, place a sheet of plain paper or other absorbent paper between the individual prints.

When storing unused paper

Return any unused paper to the original package, and store it away from extreme temperatures, high humidity, and bright lights.

When displaying printouts
  • When displaying your printouts indoors, Epson recommends placing your printouts in glass frames to preserve the colors in your image.

  • Avoid displaying your printouts outdoors or in a place exposed to direct sunlight to prevent fading.


Note:

For best results, allow your prints to dry thoroughly for 24 hours before framing.
