Choosing Special Paper and Other Media You can use most plain bond paper with your printer and
achieve good results. Coated papers and glossy papers give
you better results because they reduce the amount of ink that is
absorbed.
You should get good printing results with most types of coated
paper. However, print quality can vary depending on the paper
quality and the manufacturer. Test the printout quality before
purchasing large quantities of paper.
EPSON provides special media such as ink jet (coated) paper,
transparencies, glossy paper, glossy film, index cards, and
adhesive sheets that are formulated for the inks used in EPSON
ink jet printers. EPSON recommends that you use media
distributed by EPSON to ensure high-quality results.
The product names of some EP SON media currently on the
