Photo -Quality Printing on the Epson Color Stylus 850

Photo -Quality paper

You can purchase high-resolution ink-jet paper at the University Bookstore. The AAPG club has offered to sell photo-quality printing paper in the near future. Do not attempt to use photo quality settings with regular paper because the ink will saturate the paper causing it to wrinkle and jam in the printer.

Remove the regular paper from the Epson printer and load your photo paper.
