Selecting Media For Your Printer

You can print on most types of coated, glossy, plain paper, and other media. A high-tension spindle is also available for printing on certain media such as EPSON Synthetic Paper, Smooth Fine Art Paper, and Textured Fine Art Paper; this keeps the correct amount of tension on the paper and prevents horizontal banding in your printouts.

The following table shows the allowable sizes of paper you can use:
