Paper Handling
Notes on Epson Special Media and Other Media
Although most types of coated paper provide good printing results, the print quality varies
depending on the paper quality and the manufacturer. Test the print quality before
purchasing a large amount of paper.
c
Caution
Keep fingers off the printable surface of the media, as fingerprints may reduce the print
quality. Whenever possible, use gloves to handle media.
Using Epson special media
Epson provides special media that can enhance the usage and expressive power of the
printing results. When using Epson special media, make sure the appropriate settings are
made in the printer driver. See “Making Settings on the Main Menu” on page 14 for
Windows, or “Page Setup” on page 75 for Mac OS X. For information on Epson special
media, see “Epson Special Media” on page 191.
Note:
❏
Use Epson special media in a normal room environment (temperature and humidity) for best
results.
❏
When using Epson special media, read the enclosed instruction sheets first.
Storing Epson special media
To keep the quality of Epson special media:
❏
Store unused media in the original plastic bag and outer package so as to avoid
moisture problems.
❏
Avoid storing the media in places exposed to high temperature, humidity, or direct
sunlight.
Using paper other than Epson special media
When you use paper other than Epson special media, or print using the RIP (Raster
Images Processor), see the instructions included with the paper or RIP system, or contact
your supplier for more information.
