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. For information on Epson special media, see 
“Epson Special Media” on page 371.
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.
 
						

							258Paper Handling
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.
