Selecting the Correct Media Type

Note

Check the EPSON web site (http://prographics. epson.com) or your authorized EPSON dealer for new papers and other media that may be available. Some media may not be available in your location.

The following table lists the settings designed to produce the best prints on EPSON media:

Product name	Media Type setting
Archival Matte Paper	Archival Matte Paper
Premium Glossy Photo Paper	Premium Semigloss Photo Paper
Professional Glossy Paper	Professional Glossy Paper
Watercolor Paper - Radiant White	Watercolor Paper - Radiant White
Premium Luster Photo Paper	Premium Luster Photo Paper
Plain paper	Plain Paper

If the paper or other material you’re using is not listed in the table, check the instructions included with the paper. If you’re using a non-EPSON printing material, choose the closest setting. You may have to experiment with different settings to determine which one is best for the media you’re using.
