58 | Handling Paper and Other Media
Always test samples of paper stock in the printer before purchasing large
quantities or printing large jobs. If you use non-Epson paper or other media,
you may need to adjust various settings and create special paper
configurations. See page 82 for instructions.
Available Epson Special Media
One of the key elements for achieving professional quality prints is selecting
paper that is specifically optimized for your printer. Epson offers a complete
lineup of professional media for a variety of applications. Most Epson
professional media are available in sizes from small cut sheets to wide-format
rolls. Check the Epson Professional Imaging website at
www.proimaging.epson.com or your Epson Professional Imaging
Authorized Reseller for available media.
For more details about compatible papers, see page 196.
Guidelines for Using Epson Media
Follow these guidelines, as well as those included in your paper package,
when printing on Epson paper and other media:
Avoid touching the printable surface with your bare hands. Fingerprints
may affect print quality. Handle media by the edges or use cotton
gloves.
Be careful not to bend or scratch the paper.
Always choose the correct Media Type setting in your printer driver
software before you send your job. See page 88 (Windows), or page 130
(Mac OS X) for instructions.
Always select the correct paper source (roll or sheet) in both the printer
driver software and on the printer’s control panel. See page 93 or
page 96 (Windows), or page 126 (Mac OS X) for instructions on
selecting the paper source in your printer software.
Keep unused media in its original packaging and store it in a cool, dry
place to maintain quality. Avoid storing your printouts where they will
be exposed to high temperature, humidity, or direct sunlight.
Store sheet media on a flat surface.
