Storing And Displaying Your Prints; Printing On Cds And Dvds - Epson Stylus Photo 1400 User Manual

Storing and Displaying Your Prints

The special Epson Claria inks designed for your printer provide the ultimate
combination of photo quality and longevity when printed on Epson papers and
properly displayed or stored. For best results, always use Epson papers.
With proper care, photographs from your Epson Stylus Photo 1400 will last for
many years. As with traditional photos, Epson recommends proper care that will
minimize color changes and lengthen display life:
■
Frame prints under glass or a protective plastic sleeve to protect them from
atmospheric contaminants like humidity, smoke, and high levels of ozone.
■
As with all photographs, keep your prints away from direct sunlight.
■
Keep your prints away from high temperatures.
■
For proper storage, keep your prints in a photo album or plastic photo storage
box in acid-free, archival sleeves commonly available from most camera stores.
■
Always keep unused paper in the original package.

Printing on CDs and DVDs

Your printer includes a special tray that lets you print customized text, graphics,
and photos directly on any ink jet-printable CD or DVD. The Epson Print CD
software makes it easy to import your own photos, add text, and modify your
designs with a variety of special effects. You can print on both regular 12-cm and
8-cm mini CDs and DVDs.
Caution:
Use only ink jet-printable CDs and DVDs for printing. Thermal-printable and regular CDs
and DVDs should not be used with this printer; otherwise the ink may smear.
