Selecting media for your printer

One of the key elements for achieving professional quality prints is selecting paper that is specifically
optimized for your printer. Epson offers a variety of canvas, fine art, photo and proofing papers, as well as
other media, for your printer. Most Epson
to wide-format rolls. Check the Epson Pro Imaging website at www.proimaging.epson.com (U.S.) or
www.proimaging.epson.ca (Canada) or your Epson Professional Imaging Authorized Reseller for available
media.
The following table shows the supported paper sizes you can use:

Always test samples of media in the printer before purchasing large quantities or printing large jobs. If you
use non-Epson paper or other media, you may need to adjust various settings and create special paper
configurations. See the online User's Guide for details.
