Using Epson special media
Using paper other than Epson special media

Although most types of coated paper provide good printing results, the print quality varies depending on the paper quality and the manufacturer. Test the print quality before purchasing a large amount of paper.

Caution

Keep fingers off the printable surface of the media, as fingerprints may reduce the print quality. Whenever possible, use gloves to handle media.

Using Epson special media

Epson provides special media that can enhance the usage and expressive power of the printing results. When using Epson special media, make sure the appropriate settings are made in the printer driver. See Making Settings on the Main Menu for Windows, Making Settings in the Print Dialog for Mac OS 9.x, or Page Setup for Mac OS X. For information on Epson special media, see Epson Special Media.

Note:

Use Epson special media in a normal room environment (temperature and humidity) for best results.

When using Epson special media, read the enclosed instruction sheets first.

Storing Epson special media

To keep the quality of Epson special media:

Store unused media in the original plastic bag and outer package so as to avoid moisture problems.

Avoid storing the media in places exposed to high temperature, humidity, or direct sunlight.
