Epson R1800 Photo Printer Before Printing Get the proper paper: Use only Epson paper, which is the only brand of paper that will allow the Epson inks to adhere to the paper. Size your images for optimal output: The Resolution should be 180, 240 or 320 dpi. If printing from Photoshop, any of these dpi s are correct; if printing from any Office application or.pdf file, the inserted images should be any of these three resolutions. The physical dimension should equal the journal or publication submission requirements, or the size of the paper, less a - inch border. The Epson R1800 prints very dark. Be prepared to do additional editing to get file to print satisfactorily. (See Imaging Essentials at it.med.harvard.edu/ris for instructions on properly resizing images) 2
