EPSON Photo Paper
You can use EPSON Photo Paper to print photographs that look almost as good as
the ones you get from film processing. Photo Paper is available in a variety of sizes.
Keep the following in mind when using EPSON Photo Paper:
■ Always load the paper with the whiter (glossier) side facing up.
■ Load Photo Paper or Panoramic Photo Paper one sheet at a time. Use a support
sheet if it is included in the paper package.
■ Select Photo Paper as the Media Type setting.
■ To keep your printouts looking their best, store them in a resealable plastic bag
or other airtight covering and protect them from heat, humidity, and direct
sunlight. Return unused paper to the original package as soon as you finish
printing.
If you’re using letter-size or A4-size Photo Paper, follow the instructions on page 9
