This chapter describes how to choose the right paper for your

print job and how to load all kinds of paper and other media in

your printer. You can use plain paper, special coated paper,

high-quality glossy paper, transparencies, and envelopes.

Choosing Paper and Other Media

You can use most plain paper with your printer and achieve

good results. Coated papers give you better results because

they reduce the amount of ink that is absorbed. However, if the

coated paper does not absorb enough ink, the ink can smear.

To ensure the best results, EPSON provides special papers and

transparencies that are formulated for the inks used in EPSON

ink jet printers. These papers include the following:

EPSON Special coated paper for 360 dpi. Use this paper

for best results when printing at 360 dpi. Five sample sheets

are included with your printer.

EPSON Special coated paper for 720 dpi. Use this paper

for best results when printing at 720 dpi. Five sample sheets

are included with your printer.

EPSON High-quality glossy paper. Use this paper with

720 dpi to produce camera-ready composites. When

printing on glossy paper, use only EPSON high-quality

glossy paper.

EPSON Transparency film. When printing transparencies,

use only EPSON transparencies. For best results, use

transparencies within six months of opening the package.

Do not use the printer driver's 720 dpi printing mode when

printing transparencies.
