Notes on Epson 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.
Caution
c
Do not touch the printable surface of the media, as fingerprints may reduce the
print quality. Whenever possible, use gloves to handle media.

printer driver. See "Selecting Settings on the Main Tab" on page 49 for
Windows, or "Page Setup" on page 19 for Mac OS X. For information on

Storing Epson media
To maintain the quality of your Epson media:
❏ Store unused media in the original plastic bag and outer package to
prevent moisture problems.
