Printing on plain paper: Anyone have experience with this?

I don't have this printer, but use the Epson 2200 and I can definitely say that I would not recommend it to print on plain paper. On Epson's papers, the prints are superb, but on plain paper, they look washed out and the paper feels like it becomes saturated, almost wet with ink when printing at higher resolutions. Since both printers are using Epson Archival inks, I would venture to guess that the R2400 would behave the same way.

I used a regular printer and they worked. Just do not allow it to come in contact with water or it will bleed

I used printer paper, and it worked fine! Just fine tune your "Ironing time" depending on how hot your iron gets. Seems all Irons are different! Good Luck with your Project

I use glossy paper for photos. When you select glossy paper you'll see and advisory that duplex printing can cause paper jams with that paper. Otherwise it works wonderfully.

I have the same trouble when I print using the Plain paper setting. My solution: I tell the printer to print as if it's on going on Matte or Photo quality paper in the print dialog settings (Comes up when I hit the Fie>Print action.) The printer will increase the ink output and you should get a vivid print even on Plain Paper. Its the printers problem, not the ink cartridge.... G'luck!

I do not make Photo quality prints so I really can not answer you question with any certainty, however when using cheap regular printing paper I do see a noticeable difference in the quality, the colors tend to fade and run.

I didn't print on both sides but if you can't get the text to flip, you could always run them through twice and turn the paper. More time consuming but I think it would work.

I haven't tried. However I can tell you that it sometimes spits out 4 papers at a time, and sometimes doesn't print at all. On occasion it does work. Please don't waste your money. It is not dependable.

Hi Jill. I've used the printer to print thicker stock than regular paper and it struggled a little. Couple jams or incorrect feeds before I got what I wanted. It's a good printer. But I'm not sure how pictures would do. Hoped this helped.

I have not tried it for that. Honestly, I was very disappointed with the poor resolution when I printed a folded full card that I have not used it since. My intent was to create the cards and then send to UPS for professional color printing on card stock. The cards printed that way are only about $1.50 each so I thought it was a great alternative... but the quality just was not there... the wording was not crisp but rather blurred.

I just carefully looked through the instruction manual that came with the printer, and looked around on-line. I'm pretty sure it is NOT possible to print on cloth with this printer. The manual lists all kinds of papers that can be used, but does not mention cloth.

I printed on business cards and didn't have a problem with them. I'm not sure how other types of paper, like photo paper, would do in them.

As far as I can tell, after looking through all the printing options, the answer is 'no'. At least not on standard size paper (8.5 by 11). Perhaps there could be some trick to doing it with smaller size papers, but I sincerely doubt it.

I have not. I have printed out several photos and not had a problem. It has been almost a year for some of them, and they still look as great as they did when I printed them. I use the best photo paper and print with the highest quality. I do not know why the age of your paper would make a difference though.

I have had no issues with the quality of the paper. Unfortunately, I cannot program my printer to do double sided printing since I switched to an iMac, so I can't answer that statement. For the one-sided copying that I do though, it is fine.

M. A. Anything created to be printed on this paper will have to be mirror image for this is the only way the image can be transferred correctly onto whatever you are ironing the image on. I hope this answers your question....
