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
*
such as Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom, and save them in JPEG or TIFF format.
*You can also perform RAW development using the camera soware.
❏Adjust the color temperature to match the subject or the scene.

Tips when Printing Photo Projects
41
❏Maintain a rich gradation and do not increase the intensity of red and yellow.
❏Adjust the black level and create a sharp photo.
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 189
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 42
❏If you want to print using an application or the printer driver.
“Printing Using the Application and Printer Driver” on page 49
❏If you want to print photos quickly and leave color reproduction to the printer.
“Printing Using Epson Photo+” on page 64
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
*
and print settings correctly
*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.
When printing using commercial paper
Add the paper information when you want to print easily using color matching on ordinary commercial paper.

Preventing nozzle clogging
Always use the power button when turning the printer on and o.
Check that the power light is o before you disconnect the power cord.
e ink itself can dry out if it is not covered. Just like placing a cap on a fountain pen or an oil pen to prevent it
from drying, make sure the print head is capped properly to prevent the ink from drying.
When the power cord is unplugged or a power outage occurs while the printer is in operation, the print head may
not be capped properly. If the print head is le as it is, it will dry out causing nozzles (ink outlets) to clog.
In these cases, turn the printer on and o again as soon as possible to cap the print head.

❏For best results, Epson recommends using up ink cartridges before the best before date printed on the package,
or within six months of opening the package, whichever is earlier.
❏Aer bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at
least three hours before using it.
❏Do not open an ink cartridge package until you are ready to install the ink cartridge in the product.
❏Do not drop or knock it against hard objects; otherwise, the ink may leak.
Handling precautions for replacing ink cartridges
❏Do not touch the IC chip in the ink cartridge. Otherwise, you may not be able to perform operations or print
properly.
❏Install all ink cartridges; otherwise you cannot print.
❏Do not turn o the printer during ink charging. If the ink charging is incomplete, you may not be able to print.
❏Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the
surrounding area when removing the cartridges.
❏is printer uses ink cartridges equipped with a green chip that monitors information such as the amount of
remaining ink for each cartridge. is means that even if the cartridge is removed from the printer before it is
expended, you can still use the cartridge aer reinserting it back into the printer.
❏To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the cartridge when your printer indicates to replace the cartridge. e yields quoted for you do not
include this reserve.
❏Do not disassemble or remodel the ink cartridge, otherwise you may not be able to print normally.
❏Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, the printer may be damaged.
❏While cartridges are in storage, keep the ink supply ports free of dust. e ink supply port has a valve in it so it
does not need to be capped.
❏Do not allow foreign objects to fall into the cartridge installation section.
❏When the printer is powered o with the
P
(power) button, the print head is automatically capped to prevent
the ink from drying. Do not pull out the power plug or turn o the breaker while the power is on.
❏If one of the installed ink cartridges is expended, printing cannot be performed.
❏If an ink cartridge is expended while printing, you can continue printing aer replacing the ink cartridge.
❏If you continue to use ink cartridges that are running low, you may need to replace the ink cartridge while
printing. If you replace an ink cartridge while printing, especially on glossy paper, colors on the printout may be
uneven depending on how the ink dries. For best results, we recommend replacing the cartridge before printing.
❏You can still use the removed ink cartridge in the future until the ink cartridge is expended.
Consumption of ink
❏All colors of ink are used during head cleaning and other non-printing maintenance operations to ensure that
the print heads remain in good condition.
❏Even for monochrome printing, all the ink colors are used in an operation designed to maintain the printing
and print head quality.
❏Depending on the paper type and print quality settings, colored inks may also be used for high-density blacks in
monochrome or grayscale printing.

❏Do not reuse a maintenance box which has been removed and le detached for a long period. Ink inside the box
will have solidied and no more ink can be absorbed.
❏Do not tilt the used maintenance box until aer it is sealed in the plastic bag; otherwise ink may leak.
❏Do not store the maintenance box in high or freezing temperatures.
❏Keep the maintenance box out of direct sunlight.
❏Do not drop the maintenance box or subject it to strong shocks.
❏Do not touch the openings in the maintenance box as you may get smeared with ink.
❏If you are using a maintenance box that is near the end of its service life, you may need to replace it while
printing. If you replace the maintenance box while printing, especially on glossy paper, colors on the printout
may be uneven depending on how the ink dries. For best results, we recommend replacing the cartridge before

Replacing a Maintenance Box
In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the maintenance box. To prevent ink
leakage from the maintenance box, the printer is designed to stop printing when the absorbing capacity of the
maintenance box has reached its limit. Whether and how oen this is required will vary according to the number
of pages you print, the type of material that you print and the number of cleaning cycles that the printer performs.
When a message is displayed prompting you to replace the maintenance box, refer to the animations displayed on
the control panel. e need for replacement of the box does not mean that your printer has ceased to operate in
accordance with its specications. e Epson warranty does not cover the cost of this replacement. It is a user-
serviceable part.
Note:
❏When it is full, you cannot print and clean the print head until the maintenance box is replaced to avoid ink leakage.
❏When the following screen is displayed, the part cannot be replaced by users. Contact Epson support. You cannot perform
borderless printing until the part is replaced. You can still print with borders. However, if you use it as it is, the printing
speed on glossy paper may be reduced.
