4. Ink System: Epson offers a
variety of ink systems to meet
every printing need. Whether the
customer is most interested in the
everyday printing of documents
and the occasional photo, is an
amateur photographer looking to
primarily print photos with stellar
image quality and durability, or is a
professional photographer staking
his reputation on breathtaking large
format prints, Epson has the right
ink for the job.
Additionally, unlike competitive
printers tht require special or
optional inks, with Epson printers
there are no added costs for
optional cartridges, and you never
have to swap an ink cartridge to
get sharp black text, superb photo
quality photos, or both on the same page.
You can fi nd detailed information, comparisons, and FAQs on the Epson ink sets in the Ink Solutions
document.
5. Epson Papers: In general, Epson printers will deliver their best output quality when used with Epson papers.
Epson papers are designed in conjunction with Epson printers and genuine Epson inks so when all three
elements are present and used, the best possibly print quality is achieved.
• The Epson printer driver optimizes ink density based on the resolution and type of media selected
• Epson printers are designed to produce their optimal print quality using genuine Epson inks on Epson
papers
• Epson ink jet papers are specifi cally designed to receive Epson inks.
6. High Quality Halftoning: Every ink jet printer uses a method referred to as halftoning, that places ink droplets
to create printed “dots” in various patterns so you see continuous tone color. Epson printers use a halftoning
module that produces fast, high-quality, color-accurate output. The Epson printer drivers use an advanced
error diffusion technology to determine the most effi cient pattern for applying ink droplets to the page, based
on the content, selected output quality, and paper type.
