Selecting Paper and Other Media

You can print on most types of coated, glossy, plain paper, and other media.

The printer comes with two spindles, so you can have two types of roll paper

available for printing at all times (with manual switching). You can also

purchase an optional 3-inch spindle, which allows you to use roll paper with

a 3-inch core.

The following table shows the requirements for paper you can use in your

printer:

Always test samples of paper stock in the printer before purchasing large

quantities or printing large jobs. When you use non-EPSON papers or other

media, you may need to “profile” their thickness and ink drying time. See

page 1-22 for instructions.
