Paper Handling
Notes on Epson 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
Do not touch the printable surface of the media, as fingerprints may reduce the
print quality. Whenever possible, use gloves to handle media.
Using Epson media
When using Epson media, make sure the correct settings are selected in the
printer driver. See "Selecting Settings on the Main Tab" on page 49 for
Windows, or "Page Setup" on page 19 for Mac OS X. For information on
Epson media, see "Epson media" on page 243.
Note:
❏ Use Epson media in a normal room environment (temperature and humidity) for
best results.
❏ When using Epson media, read the enclosed instruction sheets first.
Storing Epson media
To maintain the quality of your Epson media:
❏ Store unused media in the original plastic bag and outer package to
prevent moisture problems.
❏ Avoid storing the media in places exposed to high temperature, humidity,
or direct sunlight.
❏ Store unused media on a flat surface to prevent bending or curling.
