Using Paper and Other Media | 2-3 Note Check the EPSON Pro Graphics web site (http://prographics.epson. com) or your authorized EPSON dealer for new papers and other media that may be available. Printing on EPSON Media EPSON papers, which are specially formulated for the inks used in your printer, ensure high-quality results. The following table lists the product codes for many kinds of EPSON media available for your printer. If you're unfamiliar with using a particular paper, follow the recommendations in the table as to which papers are best-suited to your printer's ink type (Photographic Dye, Archival ink, or UltraChrome ink). In some cases, a different paper may be a better match for your needs, depending on the effects you want to achieve. Always test samples of paper before purchasing large quantities or running large print jobs in order to be sure it meets your needs.
