Paper Handling
Using Special Paper
You can achieve good results with most types of plain bond paper. However, coated
papers provide superior printouts because they absorb less ink.
Epson provides special papers that are formulated for the ink used in Epson ink jet printers,
and recommends these papers to ensure high-quality results.
& See “Paper, Consumables, and Options” on page 187.
When loading special paper distributed by Epson, read the instruction sheets packed with
the paper first and keep the following points in mind.
Note:
❏ Load the paper into the rear sheet feeder printable side up. The printable side is usually whiter
or glossier. See the instruction sheets packed with the paper for more information.
❏ If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing
on curled paper may cause ink to smear on your printout.
