Last modified 3/26/2024
Media Types and Ink
You must specify the Media Type (Enhanced Matte Paper) and Ink choice (Matte Black) before sending the print job.
- Choose the oversize color printer (Epson – Large Format)
- Only print one poster at a time.
- Choose your media size. The printer can handle 44-inches wide and is a roll of paper
- Be sure select a size that mentions roll paper, when possible
- Be sure to check your Optional settings
- Select “Color Management” in the left menu section.
- Under “Color Management,” select the Printer Profile “SC-P9000_P7000_Series_LLK EnhancedMattePaper_MK”
- Select “Setup” next to complete the paper selection.
- You will possibly get a prompt like the picture below. If so, click on “Continue”
- Click the “Printer Options” dropdown menu
- Select the option “Printer Settings” from the pull-down menu.
The next steps are critical to the process of printing to the Oversize Printer - Select the options for paper and ink
- For “Media Type,” select “Enhanced Matte Paper”
- For “Ink,” you must select “Matte Black” Failing to do so will cause the printer to only print ½ your poster because it will time out trying to change out black ink types.
- Click on “OK”
- Click on “Print”
- Click on “Print” again
