Choosing Special Paper and Other Media
You can use most plain bond paper with your printer and
achieve good results. However, coated papers and glossy
papers give you better results because they reduce the amount
of ink that is absorbed.
You should get good printing results with most types of coated
paper, but print quality can vary depending on the paper
quality and manufacturer. Test the printout quality before
purchasing large quantities of paper.
EPSON provides special media such as ink jet (coated) paper,
transparencies, glossy paper, index cards, and adhesive sheets
that are formulated for the inks used in EPSON ink jet printers.
EPSON recommends you to use media distributed by EPSON
to ensure the best results.
EPSON also provides special media that can enrich the usage
and expressive power of the printing results, such as EPSON
Ink Jet Canvas Cloth and EPSON Ink Jet Back Light Film.
EPSON Ink Jet Canvas Cloth has a canvas-cloth like texture and
is designed to give an oil-painted artistic impression to printed
images. EPSON Ink Jet Back Light Film has a frosted-glass like
printable surface and a glossy surface on its reverse side.
Printing on this film gives a crisp, translucent image for use in
back-lit displays.
When you use one of the following media types, make sure the
appropriate settings are made in the printer driver as described
in Chapter 3 (Windows) and Chapter 4 (Macintosh). Also be
sure to load the paper according to the instructions in this
chapter.
