Choosing The Correct Media Type Setting; Taking Care Of Your Prints - Epson Stylus Photo 2000P Printer Basics Manual

Choosing the Correct Media Type Setting

Before printing, always check the Media Type setting in
your printer software. See the table below for the
settings you should use.
This setting is important because it tells your printer
what kind of paper you're using. The printer can then
adjust the ink coverage accordingly.
The Media Type setting for your paper may not be the same as the name of the paper.
When in doubt, see to the table below or the instructions that came with your paper.

Some of the Media Type settings may never need to be used, since not
all papers are available in all markets.

Taking Care of Your Prints

For optimum image quality and longer print life, print your photos with genuine
EPSON Archival Ink (the standard ink for the EPSON Stylus Photo 2000P printer)
and certain EPSON papers. When printed with this combination and displayed
under glass in normal indoor fluorescent lighting conditions, your prints will last 200
years or more before noticeable fading occurs using compatible EPSON matte type
papers; 140 years or more using compatible EPSON Premium photo papers. Images
printed on other EPSON papers won't last as long, but can be preserved for many
years if properly cared for.
As with all photos, care should be taken to protect the long life of your prints. For
storage in photo albums, we recommend acid-free, archival sleeves that are commonly
available from camera shops and other retailers. For indoor display, we recommend
