drying time, no smearing or smudging, and your image is crisp and smooth. Here are the inks for your

printer and just a few of EPSON’s papers:

Photo Paper and Panoramic Photo Paper

Photo lab quality, heavier weight glossy paper available in a

variety of sizes. Perfect for color photo keepsakes of

snapshots, framed art, banners, and panoramics.

Matte Paper - Heavyweight

for photographs, signs, and crafts.

Photo Quality Ink Jet Paper

Bright white, with a smooth matte finish to create your best impression.

Perfect for presentations, newsletters, color reproductions, and all your photo

and craft projects.
