EPSON Stylus C84
8/03 EPSON Stylus C84 - 9
Printing on Special Media
Select the correct Type or Media Type setting so your printer
knows what kind of paper you’re using and adjusts the ink
coverage accordingly.
Printing Borderless Photos
You can print your photos with no margins, extending the
image all the way to the edges of the page.
Although borderless printing is a bit slower, you get beautiful
snapshots and enlargements, without trimming, on these
papers and sizes:
With proper care, photographs from your EPSON Stylus
printer will last for many years. The special EPSON DuraBrite
inks designed for your printer are formulated to achieve
improved lightfastness when used with EPSON papers for
prints that are properly displayed or stored. For best results,
always use EPSON papers.
As with traditional photos, EPSON recommends proper care
that will minimize color changes and lengthen display life:
❏ Frame prints under glass or a protective plastic sleeve to
protect them from atmospheric contaminants like
humidity, smoke, and high levels of ozone.
❏ As with all photographs, keep your prints away from direct
sunlight.
❏ For proper storage, keep your prints in a photo album or
plastic photo storage box in acid-free, archival sleeves
commonly available from most camera stores.
❏ Always keep unused paper in the original package.
Loading Paper
Load paper as shown below, then follow the instructions for
your operating system.
❏ Always load the short edge first, even for printing landscape-
oriented photos.
❏ Load the printable side face up. It’s usually whiter or
brighter than the other side.
❏ Make sure the paper is under the tabs on the left and right
edge guides.
❏ Check the paper package for more loading instructions.
