Loading Special Paper And Other Media - Epson Stylus Photo 875 DC Manual

Loading Special Paper and Other Media

You can achieve good results with most types of plain bond paper.
However, coated paper and glossy film result in higher quality
printouts because these media absorb smaller amounts of ink.
EPSON sells special media that are formulated for the ink used in
EPSON ink jet printers. EPSON recommends using media
distributed by EPSON to ensure high-quality results. See "EPSON
special media" on page 10-2 for a complete list of these products.
When loading special media distributed by EPSON, read the
instruction sheets packed with the media first and keep the
following points in mind.
❏ Make sure the printable side of the paper is facing up when
loading media into the sheet feeder. See the instruction sheets
packed with the media to determine which side is the
printable surface. Some media have cut corners to help
identify the correct loading direction, as shown in the
illustration below.

If you extend the printable area by selecting the Maximum setting
in the printer driver, the cut corner on special paper may mar your
printout.
