Selecting the Media Type Setting

When you print, it’s important to select an appropriate Media Type setting for the type of paper you’re using. The tables on the following pages list recommended settings for many EPSON papers, depending on whether your printer uses Photographic Dye, Archival ink, or UltraChrome ink.

In some cases, you may want to select a different setting from the recommended one, depending on the specific effects you want to achieve. If you’re unfamiliar with the paper you’re using, you should experiment with different settings to determine which one works best.

Once you’ve selected the closest Media Type setting, you can fine-tune how your image is printed using the Paper Configuration menu. This lets you adjust certain settings—for example, the paper feed increment or the intensity of the MicroWeave pattern. You can access these settings from the printer’s control panel, as described on page 2-28;if your printer uses UltraChrome ink, you can also access similar settings from your EPSON printer software (see page 3-15for Macintosh or page 4-10for Windows).
