Loading capacities for Epson special media
Storing Epson Photo Paper

You can achieve good results with most types of plain bond paper. However, coated papers provide superior printouts because they absorb less ink.

Epson provides special papers that are formulated for the ink used in Epson ink jet printers, and recommends these papers to ensure high-quality results.

Paper

When loading special paper distributed by Epson, read the instruction sheets packed with the paper first and keep the following points in mind.


Caution:

Cleaning sheets packaged with Epson special paper 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.


Note:

  • Load the paper into the sheet feeder printable side up. The printable side is usually whiter or glossier. See the instruction sheets packed with the paper for more information. Some types of paper have cut corners to help identify the correct loading direction:

  • If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled paper may cause ink to smear on your printout.
