Choosing Paper

You can use most plain paper with the Stylus COLOR and achieve good results. However, for better quality printing, use EPSON coated paper or paper especially designed for ink jet printers. Coated paper reduces the amount of ink that is absorbed by the paper to produce sharper, clearer printing.

For the highest quality print output and overhead presentations, EPSON offers the following special papers:

EPSON Special coated paper for 360 dpi (S041028 for letter, S041025 for A4)

EPSON Special coated paper for 720 dpi (S041029 for letter, S041026 for A4)

EPSON Transparency film (S041030 for letter, S041027 for A4).

Samples of each type are included with the printer.

When choosing special paper, keep the following in mind:

When printing at 720-dpi resolution, use only EPSON Special coated paper for 720-dpi printing. No other paper is suitable for this resolution.

When using special coated paper for 720 dpi, do not print at 360 dpi; likewise, when using special coated paper for 360 dpi, do not print at 720 dpi.

When printing on transparencies, use only EPSON Transparency film. For best results, use transparencies within six months of opening the package.

Do not use 720 dpi when printing transparencies.
