PRINTING
When your file is ready to print, go to File and then Print.
The print dialog will appear. Under the Printer tab, select Epson 9890.

PRINTING|CONT.
Select Page Setup.
Select Paper Size and then select Manage Custom Sizes.
Input the size of your media and press OK. Width is the size of the media and Height is the height of your
file.

PRINTING|CONT.
Select Setup.
Select the Layout tab and then select Printer Settings.
Printer Settings allows you to change media type, black ink output, and other variables.
It’s important to get these settings correct as they will override the settings on the Epson 9890.

Page Setup
- adjusts the format
of the paper: roll, sheet, etc.
Media Type
- adjusts the kind of
media you are using: paper,
fabric, etc. Changing media
type will change the kind of
black ink that the printer uses.
Make sure you have the correct
kind selected under Ink.
Print mode
- adjusts color, b/w, and black
for non-photographic images.
Color mode
- adjusts color and allows one
to choose how to manage
the colors.
Output resolution
- adjusts the quality of the print
through dpi (dots per inch).
Higher the number, the higher
the quality.
It is important to note that one can change between Matte Black and Photo Black. Doing this requires
the Epson 9890 to flush out ink of the various parts in the machine. This consumes a fair amount of ink.
PRINTING|CONT.
When all of your settings are correct, press print.
This will reopen the original print dialog.
Check that the file is being sent to the Epson 9890 and that the media size is correct, the press print.
