Media Pack specs
Setup notes and briefing numbers for Media Pack.
Measurements used for Media Pack
The Media Pack specs page sets out the measurements and compatibility notes tied to supported media options. It helps production teams confirm widths, finishes and printer fit before ordering for a live job.
Sheet and roll details matter before a press check or proof run. Width, surface finish and supported Epson models need to line up with the job spec, especially where coated stock, photo paper or film must feed cleanly in winter dryness on the Highveld or higher humidity in Cape Town.
Check the pack label against the stated media width and core size before loading. A small note kept beside the printer helps the operator confirm platen gap, feed direction and any special handling for curl, head height or take-up on the next run.
What the spec sheet should confirm
Each Media Pack entry should identify the Epson model family it suits, the available sizes and the finish of the stock. It is also the place to verify whether the media is intended for proofing, display graphics, posters or short-run presentation work, rather than leaving those checks to the last minute at the machine.
Use the page alongside the matching workflow note when a job calls for a change in stock or print mode. Before sending a query through the contact form, note the printer model, the media name and the width you are trying to load so the specification can be checked against the current setup.

Conditions that affect media handling
Specifications matter more when the environment shifts between Gauteng and Cape Town. Dry inland air can increase static and edge lift on lighter stocks, while coastal moisture may change how certain papers settle before printing, so media width and feed behaviour should be checked with the intended Epson unit rather than assumed from a previous job.
Load tests are worth doing when moving from one finish to another, especially from matte papers to gloss, film or heavier presentation media. Power interruptions, dust around the printer and storage conditions all influence whether a pack feeds squarely and whether the chosen settings still hold after a restart.

Details to prepare before ordering
Have the required width, finish and printer model ready when reviewing Media Pack specifications. Include any known issue such as head strikes, skewing or curl so the media choice can be checked against the way the printer is currently being used.
If the stock is needed for a demo or customer sign-off, keep the measurements with the sample output and workflow record. That makes it easier to match the tested media back to the right Epson configuration when the live job is booked.
