EPSON Photo Paper

You can use EPSON Photo Paper to print photographs that look almost as good as the ones you get from film processing. EPSON 4 × 6-inch Photo Paper is micro-perforated around the edges so you can trim your printouts and “bleed” the photo—extend it to the edge of the paper—on all sides. Photo Paper is available in a variety of sizes; see the inside back cover for a list and ordering information.

Keep the following in mind when using EPSON Photo Paper:

■Always load the paper with the whiter (glossier) side facing up.

■Load up to 20 sheets of 4 × 6-inch, letter-size, or A4-size Photo Paper or 1 sheet of Panoramic paper. Use a support sheet if it is included in the paper package.

■To keep your printouts looking their best, store them in a resealable plastic bag or other airtight covering and protect them from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight. Return unused paper to the original package as soon as you finish printing.
