Printing on
Special Media

Your EPSON Stylus COLOR 850 lets you print on just about any kind of paper you want to use. You can get great results printing on various sizes of plain paper, letterhead, and envelopes, but you’ll get even better results with specially coated ink jet paper.

For the best output, use EPSON’s photo-quality media: ink jet paper, glossy paper, glossy film, index cards, and photo paper. For special projects, you can use a variety of EPSON media designed for ink jet printers, ranging from transparencies to iron-on transfer paper.

Using Special Paper and Media
