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 204.
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. Some types of paper
have cut corners to help identify the correct loading direction.
❏ 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.
Note for Professional Flyer Paper:
❏ If water gets on the printable side, wipe off the water. Be careful not to scuff or scratch the printable
side.
❏ Do not touch the printable side. Moisture and oils from your skin can affect print quality.
❏ Professional Flyer Paper supports 2-sided printing. When you use the 2-sided printing function, feed
the paper manually.
