Selecting the Media Type Setting
When you print, it’s important to select an appropriate Media Type setting
for the type of paper you’re using. The tables on the following pages list
recommended settings for many EPSON papers, depending on whether
your printer uses Photographic Dye, Archival ink, or UltraChrome ink.
In some cases, you may want to select a different setting from the
recommended one, depending on the specific effects you want to achieve. If
you’re unfamiliar with the paper you’re using, you should experiment with
different settings to determine which one works best.
Once you’ve selected the closest Media Type setting, you can fine-tune how
your image is printed using the Paper Configuration menu. This lets you
adjust certain settings—for example, the paper feed increment or the
intensity of the MicroWeave pattern. You can access these settings from the
printer’s control panel, as described on page 2-28; if your printer uses
UltraChrome ink, you can also access similar settings from your EPSON
printer software (see page 3-15 for Macintosh or page 4-10 for Windows).
