Installing the Ink Cartridges

Depending on which version of the Stylus Pro 10600 you have, the ink cartridge starter kit included with your printer contains one of three possible kinds of ink:

•

EPSON Photographic Dye™ ink

•

EPSON Archival™ ink

•

EPSON UltraChrome™ ink

Once you install your first ink cartridges, the printer is programmed to work with that kind of ink for the lifetime of the unit; you cannot switch it to use a different kind of ink.

Note

If you have an UltraChrome printer, you can switch between the Photo Black and Matte Black cartridges, but you have to follow a special procedure. See page 5-15.

If you have an EPSON Stylus Pro 10600 that uses UltraChrome ink, two black ink cartridges are included in the starter kit: Photo Black and Matte Black. (An empty ink draining cartridge is also included; be sure to save it, as you’ll need it if you want to switch black ink types at a later time.) When you first install the cartridges, select the black ink type that’s best suited to your printing needs:

Black ink types for UltraChrome printer

Black ink type Image and paper type

Photo Black For printing photographic images on all media types.

Optimized for traditional photographic and ink jet-coated papers, such as EPSON Premium Luster Photo Paper, Photo Semigloss Paper, and Premium Semimatte Photo Paper.

Matte Black Optimized for printing photographic images on matte or

plain papers, such as EPSON Enhanced Matte Paper, Smooth and Textured Fine Art Paper, and Somerset Velvet for EPSON, when the highest level of photographic quality is desired.

Optimizing Print Speed

Depending on your system, you may be able to optimize your print speed as described in these sections:

•

If you’re printing with the standard EPSON driver software, see “Using the Photo Printing Accelerator” (below)

•

If you’re printing from Windows through a parallel port, see “Using the Speed & Progress Utility” on page 1-34

Using the Photo Printing Accelerator

The Photo Printing Accelerator compresses graphics in order to enhance the processing speed of your system. This feature is built into your standard EPSON printer driver, and is turned on by default after installing the driver.

Leave this setting turned on

EPSON recommends leaving the setting turned on for all types of printing. Turn it off only if you notice poor image quality and want to test whether it has an effect. If you need to access the setting, open your printer software as described on page 3-4 for Macintosh or page 4-2 for Windows.

Be sure to perform a Uni-D (uni-directional) alignment first, as instructed, before performing the Bi-D alignment. You may have to perform each alignment more than once for best results.

Note

Aligning the Print Head

Before you use the printer, you should align the print head to ensure accurate, clean printouts. Make sure you’ve already run a nozzle check, as described on page 1-36. If any nozzles are clogged, the print head alignment patterns won’t print correctly and your alignment won’t be accurate.

1. Make sure the printer is turned on and paper is loaded, as described on page 1-16. (Use the roll of Doubleweight Matte Paper that came with the printer.)

If during the adjustment you had to select a line that was less than 7 or greater than 9, you should reprint the alignment pattern to verify that number 7, 8, or 9 is now the best line in each row. You may have to repeat the head alignment more than once to ensure that number 8 (±1) is the best choice in each case.

12. When done performing the adjustment in Uni-D (uni-directional) mode, as described above, you should repeat it in Bi-D mode (select

printed pattern is different:

Number 8 is the best choice

To select the best pattern, use an eye loupe to determine which block has the smallest gaps. In the example above, number 8 has the smallest gaps.

It’s a good idea to test samples of paper in the printer before purchasing large quantities or printing large jobs. When you use non-EPSON papers or other media, you may need to “profile” their thickness and ink drying time. See page 2-29 for instructions.

Paper Handling Guidelines

Always follow these guidelines, as well as those included in your paper package, when printing on EPSON paper and other media:

•

Avoid touching the printable surface of the paper or other media with bare hands. Fingerprints may affect print quality. Handle media by the edges or use cotton gloves.

•

Choose an appropriate Media Type setting in your printer software before sending your job. See page 2-7 for instructions. You may have to experiment to find out which setting works best.

•

Select the correct paper source (roll or sheet) in both the printer software and on the printer’s control panel. See page 3-2 (Macintosh) or page 4-5 (Windows) to select the paper source in your printer software.

•

Keep unused media in its original packaging and store it in a cool, dry place to avoid a loss of quality. Avoid storing media or printouts where they will be exposed to high temperature, humidity, or direct sunlight.

Printing on EPSON Media

EPSON papers, which are specially formulated for the inks used in your printer, ensure high-quality results. The following table lists the product

Check the EPSON Pro Graphics web site (http://prographics.epson. com) or your authorized EPSON dealer for new papers and other media that may be available.

codes for many kinds of EPSON media available for your printer.

If you’re unfamiliar with using a particular paper, follow the recommendations in the table as to which papers are best-suited to your printer’s ink type (Photographic Dye, Archival ink, or UltraChrome ink). In some cases, a different paper may be a better match for your needs, depending on the effects you want to achieve.

Always test samples of paper before purchasing large quantities or running large print jobs in order to be sure it meets your needs.

Note

Select the Media Type setting as described in step 3 on page 3-4 (for Macintosh) or step 3 on page 4-2 (for Windows).

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).

Using Roll Paper

The printer comes with one 2-inch and one 3-inch spindle, so you can have two types of roll paper available for printing at all times (with manual switching). Switching from one paper roll to another is a simple process.

High-tension spindles (available in both 2-inch and 3-inch diameters) are recommended options for printing on certain media such as EPSON Synthetic Paper, Smooth Fine Art Paper, and Textured Fine Art Paper; the higher tension keeps the paper from unrolling during use.

Other options for using roll paper include the Automatic Take-up Reel System (see your online Reference Guide for operating instructions) and the Manual Media Cutting System (for use with heavy media).

Loading Paper onto the Spindle

To load roll paper onto a spindle, follow these steps:

1. Slide the removable paper stop off the left end of the spindle.

2. Position the roll so the paper unwinds as shown:

3. Slide the roll onto the spindle so it fits securely against the paper stop.

4. Slide the removable paper stop back onto the spindle and insert it into the end of the roll.

2-11

2-12 | Using Paper and Other Media

Loading Roll Paper for Printing

Once roll paper is placed on the spindle, follow these steps to load it in the printer:

1. Open the printer’s roll paper cover.

Note

2. Insert the white end of the spindle into the right mounting bracket inside the printer.

When both 2-inch and 3-inch spindles are loaded, place the 3-inch spindle in the upper position and 2-inch spindle in the lower position. This keeps the paper being fed from the upper roll from rubbing against the lower roll.

Be sure to wrap one of the roll paper belts around the roll you’re not using. See page 2-18.

Warning

Never attempt to load two 3-inch spindles at the same time. They won’t fit and could roll out of the mounting brackets.

Place the white end on the right

3. Place the black end of the spindle into the corresponding left mounting bracket inside the printer.

Selecting Print Settings for Roll Paper

TIP

When using a paper stock or other printing material for the first time, it’s a good idea to test it on a small print job. Then you can adjust your print settings for best results.

Note

Before printing, you need to make sure you select the correct settings in your printer software. If you’re using the EPSON printer driver, check the following:

•

Always choose an appropriate Media Type setting in your printer software before you send your job. See page 2-7 for instructions. If you’re printing on non-EPSON paper, or on a paper type not supported by the driver, you may need to use the Paper Configuration menu to obtain the best results. See page 2-28.

•

Always select the correct paper source (roll or sheet) in both the printer software and on the printer’s control panel. See page 3-2 (Macintosh) or page 4-5 (Windows) for instructions on selecting the paper source in your printer software.

You may also wish to print trim lines (page 2-26), adjust the paper margins (page 2-26), or change how the paper basket catches your printouts as they come out of the printer (page 2-23).

Cutting Your Printouts from the Roll

Before removing your printouts, you need to make sure they’re cut from the roll. If you’re using the automatically. If not, do one of the following:

Roll Auto Cut

should be selected (since heavy media can damage the built-in

Roll Cutter

cutter). Cut the paper manually using scissors or the optional Manual Media Cutting System.

•

If you’re printing on paper of ordinary thickness, you may have selected

Roll Cutter Off

(for example, to keep all your printouts together for later cutting). If so, you can use the built-in cutter to cut off your last printout:

1. If the paper is not positioned correctly, press one of the

Paper Feed

buttons to adjust the paper position. Normally, you don’t need to do this after a print job is finished.

2. Press

Using Paper and Other Media | 2-19

4. Remove the roll paper and spindle from the printer.

Caution

To avoid damaging the spindle, do not tap the end of it on the floor.

5. To remove the paper from the spindle, lay it on a flat surface, then loosen the removable paper stop by tapping it with your hand. Slide the paper stop off the end of the spindle, then remove the paper.

Always store unused roll paper in its original package—including the bag, end caps, and box.

Using Cut Sheet Paper

You can print on many types of cut sheet paper and other media. The printer accepts sheets ranging from letter-size (8.5 × 11 inches) to 44 × 62.2 inches. You can leave your roll paper in the printer when you print on cut sheets; just make sure it’s rolled up and fastened with the roll paper belt(s), as described on page 2-18.

If you’re using stock more than 19 mil (0.5 mm) thick, see page 2-20 for instructions. You will not be able to follow the procedure described in this section.

Follow these steps to load cut sheets:

1. Make sure the printer is on and the roll paper cover is closed.

2. Press the

Paper Source

button until the

Sheet

light comes on.

3. Make sure the paper set lever is pushed all the way in, in the secured position.

Using the Paper Basket

Note

When you print on posterboard, set the basket to catch printouts in front of the printer.

The paper basket is a cloth sheet that attaches to your printer and catches your printouts as they come out. This keeps the printouts from getting dirty or wrinkled. You can set up the basket either to catch the paper under the printer or to let it feed straight out in front.

Catching Printouts in Front of the Printer

Follow these steps to set up the basket in front of the printer:

1. Unhook the basket rings from the metal rods, if they’re hooked.

2-23

Using Paper and Other Media | 2-25

Creating Custom Print Settings

You can use the printer’s SelecType™ menu options to control how the printer handles and prints on various kinds of paper. See these sections:

•

“Using the Printer Setting Menu” below

•

“Using the Paper Configuration Menu” on page 2-28

Using the Printer Setting Menu

You can use the Printer Setting menu to set the platen gap, print page lines, control roll paper margins, and turn on or off paper monitoring features. These setting apply to all your print jobs. You can restore the default settings as described on page 2-27.

Setting the Platen Gap

Caution

The printer could be damaged if the print head comes in contact with the paper.

Note

You may also need to profile your paper’s thickness after changing the platen gap. See page 2-29.

When you print on extra-thin or thick stock, you may need to adjust the platen gap setting. This physically moves the print head closer to or farther from the paper. Normally, the

Note

If you’re using UltraChrome ink and printing from the EPSON printer driver, you can also select and save paper configuration settings from there. The printer uses those settings, unless you override them by selecting paper settings from the control panel.

Using the Paper Configuration Menu

When you choose a media type in your EPSON printer software, the driver automatically determines the best settings for your paper. However, you may want to fine-tune how the printer handles various papers—especially if you use non-EPSON paper, a paper not supported by the driver, or if you’re printing from a third-party RIP station. You can use the printer’s Paper Configuration menu to create customized settings for your paper.

If you want the settings to affect all your print jobs, follow the steps below. Or you can create and save a group of settings for each type of paper you’re printing on (up to 10 types), and select them whenever you print on a particular stock (see page 2-29).
