Handling Paper
Setting Paper Configurations
When you use non-EPSON paper or other media, you may need to register
the paper’s thickness and drying time. The only way to tell if you need to do
this is by experimentation. When you’re using a paper stock or other
printing material for the first time, always test it on a small print job. If the
ink smears or printing is blurred, you need to register the paper’s drying time
and thickness. On EPSON media, ink dries immediately.
You can register the thickness and drying time for up to four types of paper
or other media. Then you can select the registered values whenever you print
on that particular stock. Drying time determines how long the print head
will pause between passes.
