Epson L805 - Manual (Page 76)

❏ Select the appropriate paper type setting for the type of paper loaded in the printer.
❏ Do not print on paper that is damp, damaged, or too old.
❏ If the paper is curled or the envelope is puffed up, flatten it.
❏ Print using a higher quality setting.
❏ Do not stack the paper immediately after printing.
❏ Dry the printouts completely before filing or displaying them. When drying the printouts, avoid direct sun light,
do not use a dryer, and do not touch the printed side of paper.
❏ When printing images or photos, Epson recommends using genuine Epson paper rather than plain paper. Print
on the printable side of the genuine Epson paper.
❏ Try to use genuine Epson ink bottles. This product is designed to adjust colors based on the use of genuine
Epson ink bottles. The use of non-genuine ink bottles may cause print quality to decline.
❏ Use ink bottles with the correct part code for this printer.
❏ Epson recommends using the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
❏ When printing images or photos, print using high-resolution data. Images on websites are often low resolution
although they look good enough on the display, and so print quality may decline.
