Choosing Special Paper and Other Media
You can use most plain bond paper with your printer and
achieve good results. 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. However, print quality can vary depending on the paper
quality and the manufacturer. Test the printout quality before
purchasing large quantities of paper.
EPSON provides special media such as ink jet (coated) paper,
transparencies, glossy paper, glossy film, 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 high-quality results.
The product names of some EPSON media currently on the
market may vary depending on when it was distributed. The
following table lists media types whose product names have
changed. The media names used in this manual are shown in
the ‘‘Current name’’ column, and the former names for the
same media are shown in the ‘‘Former name’’ column. The
quality and use of this media is the same regardless of the
name on the media packaging.
