Paper Handling

Notes on Epson Media and Other 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.

cCaution

Do not touch the printable surface of the media, as fingerprints may reduce the print quality. Whenever possible, use gloves to handle media.

Using Epson media

When using Epson media, make sure the correct settings are selected in the printer driver. See "Selecting Settings on the Main Tab" on page 49 for Windows, or "Page Setup" on page 19 for Mac OS X. For information on Epson media, see "Epson media" on page 243.

Note:

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

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

Storing Epson media

To maintain the quality of your Epson media:

Store unused media in the original plastic bag and outer package to prevent moisture problems.

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

Store unused media on a flat surface to prevent bending or curling.
