Using Special Paper

You can achieve good results with most types of plain bond paper. However, coated papers
provide superior printouts because they absorb less ink.
Epson provides special papers that are formulated for the ink used in Epson ink jet printers, and
recommends these papers to ensure high-quality results.
& See "Paper, Consumables, and Option" on page 156.
When loading special paper distributed by Epson, read the instruction sheets packed with the
paper first and keep the following points in mind.
Note:
❏ Load the paper into the rear sheet feeder printable side up. The printable side is usually whiter or glossier.
See the instruction sheets packed with the paper for more information. Some types of paper have cut
corners to help identify the correct loading direction.
❏ If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on
curled paper may cause ink to smear on your printout.
Note for Professional Flyer Paper:
❏ If water gets on the printable side, wipe off the water. Be careful not to scuff or scratch the printable side.
❏ Do not touch the printable side. Moisture and oils from your skin can affect print quality.
❏ Professional Flyer Paper supports double-sided printing. When you use the double-sided printing
function, feed the paper manually.
❏ When you use the double-sided printing function, let the printed side dry for about 20 minutes before
printing the back side.
