Genuine
EPSON
Media
Obtaining beautiful, high-resolution
output from inkjet printers is not due
solely to just the type of ink and print
head used. Inkjet media also plays an
important role.
EPSON is continually researching
new types of media in order to
develop the best possible match
for its EPSON UltraChrome
™
Produced to strict quality control
standards, genuine EPSON media
complements EPSON UltraChrome
Ink perfectly, assuring you of optimal
quality for all colour and
monochrome printing needs.
EPSON Media for
EPSON Printers
For the best possible results from your
EPSON printer, always use genuine
EPSON media. You'll get stunningly
beautiful colour photos and graphics,
wonderfully smooth monochrome
prints and sharp line drawings.
Your prints will also last longer,
thanks to the high resistance to light,
ozone gas and water that the EPSON
ink / media combination provides.
The Secret of EPSON Premium Glossy Photo Paper
The secret as to why EPSON Premium Glossy Photo Paper is such a good choice lies
with the media surface. This receiving layer has a micro porous structure comprised of
tiny holes measured in nanometers. When the print head passes over the media, solvent
in the ink first fills these holes. The ink then forms a smooth, tight layer of coloured dots
on the surface. The end result is a printed image with excellent reflective qualities and
superb colour reproduction.

EPSON Premium Glossy Photo Paper is a micro porous
paper and this enables the ink to penetrate immediately.
Quick dry, penetration straight down into the ink
receiving layer prevents ink bleeding, resulting in the
best printing quality possible.

EPSON has gone to great lengths to provide lightfastness data, so you can have
confidence in providing your customers with a print life expectancy*. In combination
