Epson SureColor P5370 User Manual page 47

• Load media just before printing on it to avoid creases from the pressure rollers; creases may cause
jams or cause the media to rub against the print head. Remove roll paper that is not in use from the
printer; if roll paper is left in the printer for a long period of time, paper quality may decline. Rewind the
media and store it in its original packaging.
• Do not load media if the edges are uneven on the roll; this could cause feeding problems. Rewind the
media on the roll or use a different roll.
• Place unused media in its original packaging for storage. Keep the media dry and avoid storage
locations that are subject to direct sunlight, excessive heat, or high humidity. Store cut sheets flat to
prevent curling.
• Do not use media that is too thick, too thin, wrinkled, torn, cut, folded or creased, curled, or has a
sticker or tape on it; otherwise, the media may jam or the prints may be soiled. (See the link below for
paper specifications.) Flatten the paper before use by bending it in the opposite direction. For roll
paper, cut off any damaged ends and reload the roll. For cut sheets, use new paper.
• Make sure to remove any protective tape from the media before loading, otherwise paper jams could
occur.
• Dry printed media completely before folding or stacking it. Do not touch, rub, or scratch the printed
surface, otherwise you may damage the print.
• Do not place prints in an album before they are completely dry, otherwise you may blur the ink.
• Do not use a dryer to dry the prints.
• Display and store printed media as instructed in the media documentation.
• Avoid placing prints in direct sunlight.
• Typically, prints and photos can fade over time due to the effects of light and various environmental
factors. This also applies to Epson special media, however, the degree of color distortion can be
minimized by following proper storage procedures. See the documentation supplied with Epson
special media for detailed information on handling the paper after printing.
