Epson has earned a strong reputation for first-class printers, which offer an outstanding combination of quality, reliability and value for money. However, unless these products are complemented by Epson consumables, users cannot expect to fully capitalize on their investment. Epson understands that printing is a process, with printer, inks and paper working together to offer the ultimate in quality output. With this in mind, Epson produces consumables that offer optimum performance throughout a long, trouble-free, working life. The Company offers RC (Resin Coated) paper that is used with both pigment and dye ink. This paper feels like real photographic paper due to the increased thickness and weight. Many professionals who use both pigment and dye printers will be able to take advantage of its dual performance.
