the best paper and other media for your printing needs.

Choosing Paper and Other Media

You can use most plain paper with your printer and achieve
good results. Coated and glossy papers give you better results
because they reduce the amount of ink that is absorbed.
However, if the coated or glossy 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.
EPSON special coated paper for 720 dpi. Use this paper for
best results when printing at 720 dpi.
EPSON high-quality glossy paper. Use this paper when
printing at 720 dpi to produce camera-ready composites.
When printing on glossy paper, use only EPSON
high-quality glossy paper. For best results, use glossy paper
within six months of opening the package.
EPSON transparency film. When printing transparencies,
use only EPSON transparencies. For best results, use
transparencies within six months of opening the package.
Do not select 720 dpi when printing transparencies.
To order EPSON papers and transparencies, contact your
dealer or call EPSON Accessories at (800) 873-7766 (U.S. only).
