Printing (Selecting the Paper and Print Settings Correctly)

semigloss and matte paper. These provide a wide variety of finished photos.
Also, the soft texture of fine art paper allows you to print photos that look like paintings.
The following pages introduce the characteristics and recommended uses of typical Genuine Epson paper.

To bring the display color closer to the color of the printed material
The image on the display is expressed with the three primary colors of light (RGB), and the printed matter output
by the printer is expressed by the three primary colors (CMY) + K. Therefore, it is difficult to strictly produce the
same color.
The following three points can help to bring the colors as close as possible.
❏
Use a calibrated display
❏
Check under a light that allows you to see the correct color of the photo
❏

and print settings correctly
*Settings for matching colors displayed on different devices such as displays, digital cameras, and printers. When
you import photos taken with a digital camera and output them on the printer or display, each color may look
slightly different. This is because the color characteristics differ from device to device.
