Using Epson Papers And Envelopes; Printing On Epson Ink Jet Papers - Epson Stylus Photo 2000P Printer Basics Manual

Using EPSON Papers and Envelopes

How can you get the best-looking photos, most vivid colors, and sharpest images?
Always use EPSON's special ink jet papers.
To show you how much difference EPSON paper can make, we've included some
free samples. Check out the EPSON Photo Quality Media Pack that came with your
printer. Instructions for printing on the samples and on envelopes are given in the
following sections. (To print on roll paper, see "Using Roll Paper" on page 27.)
In addition to the papers described below, other papers may become available for your
printer. See the inside back cover to order paper and other supplies or to obtain
current product information from the EPSON Store.

Printing on EPSON Ink Jet Papers

Always load EPSON ink jet papers with the whiter (or brighter) and smoother side
face-up. This is the printable side of the page.
Avoid handling the printable surface (moisture and oils from your skin can affect
print quality), and return unused paper to the original package when you finish
printing.
Follow the guidelines below to select the best paper for your project, load it in the
printer, and make the correct printer settings.

Use only papers specifically designed for the EPSON Stylus Photo
2000P. Other EPSON papers may not work as well with your printer.
Traditional fine art papers may deposit dust or fibers inside your printer
and cause its feeding mechanism to malfunction.
