Selecting The Correct Media Type - Epson Stylus Photo 890 Basic Manual

Selecting the Correct Media Type

Your printer automatically adjusts itself for the type of
paper you select in your printer software. That's why the
Media Type setting is so important. It tells your printer
what kind of paper you're using and adjusts the ink
coverage accordingly.
Before you print, always check your Media Type setting.
Here are the settings you should choose for your paper:
