❏ Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as

loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.

❏ e power-supply cords should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place

objects on top of the power-supply cords and do not allow the power-supply cords to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep all the power-supply cords straight at the ends and the points where they enter and leave the transformer.

CD/DVD Handling Precautions

❏ See the documentation provided with your CD/DVD for more information on handling the CD/DVD or

writing data.

❏ Do not print on the CD/DVD before writing your data to it. If you do, ngerprints, dirt, or scratches on the

surface may cause errors while writing data.

❏ Depending on the CD/DVD type or printing data, smearing may occur. Try making a test print on a spare CD/

DVD. Check the printed surface aer waiting for one full day.

❏ Compared to printing on genuine Epson paper, the print density is lowered to prevent ink from smearing on the

CD/DVD. Adjust the print density as necessary.

❏ Allow the printed CD/DVDs at least 24 hours to dry avoiding direct sunlight. Do not stack or insert the CD/

DVDs into your device until they are completely dry.

❏ If the printed surface is sticky even aer it has dried, lower the print density.

❏ Reprinting on the same CD/DVD may not improve the print quality.

Loading Papers and CD/DVDs

❏ If the disc tray or the internal transparent compartment are accidentally printed on, immediately wipe o the

❏ Depending on the print area setting, the CD/DVD or disc tray may get dirty. Make settings to print on the

printable area.

❏ You can set the print range for the CD/DVD to a minimum of 18 mm for the inner diameter, and a maximum

of 120 mm for the outer diameter. Depending on the settings, the CD/DVD or disc tray may be smeared. Set within the print range for the CD/DVD you want to print.

Tips when Printing Photo Projects

is section explains important points to note when creating photo projects.

Shooting (Camera Settings)

Creating a photo project begins with shooting. e data storage format and size (resolution) are also important points.

Some items only need to be set for the rst time, while some items need to be set every time according to the subject.

Items that only need to be set the rst time

❏ Color spaces: Select sRGB if you are unsure.

❏ Storage size: We recommend saving at a resolution that suits the paper size you will use for printing, using the

table below as a guide.

Print Size Number of Pixels

A2/entire sheet 24 million (5830 x 4120)

A3/half sheet 18 million (5050 x 3570)

A4/8x10 in/10x12 in 12 million (4120 x 2920)

❏ Data format: We recommend selecting RAW when editing and printing photo data, or select JPEG just printing.

Items that need to be set every time

Set the following appropriately according to the subject.

❏ Select A mode (aperture priority auto) from shooting mode and control the F value (aperture) to set the amount

of burring.

❏ Exposure: Set an approximate value to avoid halation or black defects.

❏ Shutter speed: Set the speed to avoid blurring.

❏ ISO speed: We recommend setting this as low as possible.

❏ White balance: Set an approximate setting according to the subject.

Raw Development and Editing (Printed Finish)

is process is as important as shooting to complete photo projects.

is allows you to edit photos (or perform color correction, gradation correction, cropping, and so on) with applications

*You can also perform RAW development using the camera soware.

❏ Adjust the color temperature to match the subject or the scene.

such as Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom, and save them in JPEG or TIFF format.

Printing

❏ Maintain a rich gradation and do not increase the intensity of red and yellow.

❏ Adjust the black level and create a sharp photo.

Printing Photos>Printing with Epson Print Layout

Printing (Selecting the Paper and Print Settings Correctly)

You can create more attractive photos by selecting paper that suits the subject of the photo.

Most people think that glossy paper is the best for printing all photos, but there other textures available such as semigloss and matte paper. ese provide a wide variety of nished photos.

Also, the so texture of ne art paper allows you to print photos that look like paintings.

e following pages introduce the characteristics and recommended uses of typical Genuine Epson paper.

“Available Paper and Capacities” on page 180

When you print a photo, select from the following three methods depending on your knowledge and purpose of photo printing.

❏ If you want to easily print photos that have been edited in an application (color correction and so on).

“Printing with Epson Print Layout” on page 41

❏ If you want to print using an application or the printer driver.

“Printing Using the Application and Printer Driver” on page 48

❏ If you want to print photos quickly and leave color reproduction to the printer.

“Printing Using Epson Photo+” on page 63

To bring the display color closer to the color of the printed material

e image on the display is expressed with the three primary colors of light (RGB), and the printed matter output by the printer is expressed by the three primary colors (CMY) + K. erefore, it is dicult to strictly produce the same color.

e following three points can help to bring the colors as close as possible.

❏ Use a calibrated display

❏ Check under a light that allows you to see the correct color of the photo

❏ Set the color management settings

*Settings for matching colors displayed on dierent devices such as displays, digital cameras, and printers. When you import photos taken with a digital camera and output them on the printer or display, each color may look slightly dierent. is is because the color characteristics dier from device to device.

and print settings correctly

Add the paper information when you want to print easily using color matching on ordinary commercial paper.
