Does the type of paper I use make a difference?

  • The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks, so be sure to select the correct paper for your print job. If you are just making a copy or printing a rough draft of an image, plain paper is fine. However, for the best results, use one of Epson's special ink jet papers.
