Selecting Media That Meet Requirements

You can print on most types of coated, glossy, plain paper, and other media.
The printer comes with two 2-inch spindles, so you can have two types of
roll paper available for printing at all times (with manual switching).
High-tension spindles are also available (in both 2-inch and 3-inch
diameters), recommended for media such as EPSON Synthetic Paper and
Fine Art Paper.
The following table shows the paper requirements for your printer:

Always test samples of paper stock in the printer before purchasing large
quantities or printing large jobs. When you use non-EPSON papers or other
media, you may need to "profile" their thickness and ink drying time. See
