Loading capacities for EPSON special media
Storing EPSON Photo Paper
You can achieve good results with most types of plain bond paper. However, coated paper and glossy film provide superior printouts because they absorb less ink.
EPSON provides special media that are formulated for the ink used in EPSON ink jet printers. EPSON recommends using media distributed by EPSON to ensure high-quality results. See Media types for a complete list of these products.
When loading special media distributed by EPSON, read the instruction sheets packed with the media first and keep the following points in mind:
Caution: |
Cleaning sheets packaged with EPSON special media should not be used with this printer. The cleaning function performed by these sheets is not necessary with this type of printer, and the sheets could jam in the printer. |
Note: |
If you extend the printable area by selecting Maximum as the Printable Area setting in the printer software, the cut corner on special paper may mar your printout. |
Note: |
|
|
If you wish to print on the reverse side of an Ink Jet Card with Maximum selected as the Printable Area setting, flatten the cards or curl them slightly in the opposite side before loading. Set the adjust lever to the "+" position before printing.
