Notes on handling printed paper
To maintain long lasting, high quality print results, note the following points.
ODo not rub or scratch the printed surface. If they are rubbed or scratched, the ink may
peel off.
ODo not touch the printed surface; failure to observe this precaution may cause ink to rub
off.
OMake sure the printouts are completely dry before folding of stacking; otherwise, the
color may change where they touch (leaves a mark). These marks will disappear if they
are separated immediately and dried; however, they will remain if not separated.
OIf you put the printouts in an album before they are completely dry, they may be blurred.
ODo not use a dryer to dry the printouts.
OAvoid direct sunlight.
OPrevent color distortion while displaying or storing the printouts by following the
instructions in the paper’s documentation.
Note:
Typically, printouts and photos fade over time (color distortion) due to the effects of light and
various constituents in the air. This also applies to Epson special media. However, with the
correct storage method, the degree of color distortion can be minimized.
OSee the documentation supplied with Epson special media for detailed information on
handling the paper after printing.
OThe colors of photos, posters, and other printed materials appear different under different
lighting conditions (light sources*). The colors of printouts from this printer may also appear
different under different light sources.
* Light sources include sunlight, fluorescent light, incandescent light, and other types.
