Paper Handling Precautions
Note the following points when handling and storing the paper. If the paper is not in good condition, print quality
may decline. Check the manuals supplied with each paper.
Handling Precautions
❏
Make sure you use genuine Epson transfer paper. If you use a paper other than genuine Epson paper, the color
may not develop as expected, roller traces may be noticeable, or the ink may rub off.
❏
Use Epson special media under normal room conditions (temperature: 15 to 25˚C (59 to 77˚F) ; humidity: 40 to
60%).
❏
Do not fold the paper or scratch the surface of the paper.
❏
Avoid touching the printable surface of the paper with your bare hands. Moisture and oils from your hands can
affect print quality.
❏
Handle paper by the edges. We also recommend that you wear cotton gloves.
❏
Paper may be wavy or slack if the temperature and humidity change. Load paper just before printing. Also, do
not use paper that is wavy or slack.
❏
Do not wet the paper.
❏
Do not throw away the paper packaging as you can use it for storing the paper.
❏
Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity.
❏
Keep paper in its original package after opening, and keep it in a flat place.
