EPI-4000 Paper Selection List

Date: 2/6/91

PSB No: P-0073

Page(s): 1 of 2Originator: JV

To obtain the optimum print quality from the EPI-4000 printer it is necessary to use

paper designed for ink-jet printers. This document lists paper types tested by Epson

for use with the EPI-4000 printer.

The ratings for paper quality and drying time are:

A = Excellent

B = Good

C = Fair

Paper weights listed with a slash such as 50/20 indicate 50 lb offset paper and 20 lb

is the equivalent weight if it were bond paper. The standard paper sizes are listed,

but paper suppliers are willing to cut to 11” x 17" from larger stock. There is usually

a minimum quantity requirement, however.
