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 378.
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.
