I want to purchase a large-format inkjet from Epson, but I have stacks of photo-grade tabloid-size paper that someone gave me. Literally, hundreds of sheets. I want to make sure that the Epson will take paper other than the recommended Epson brand. I have had no response from the manufacturer, other than to lead me on a wild goose-chase from tech email to customer email to pre-sale email. Yuk.

As long as the paper is for injet the answer is yes. If it is not, it shouldn't hurt the printer to try. What happens is it doesn't dry right and it smears or smudges.

Chances are that it will be okay and it won't hurt your printer if the paper is good quality.
You can run a few test sheets to make sure it prints as it should. Inkjet photos normally need to dry for a while after printing.
Different brands of paper are usually of quality comparable to that recommended by the manufacturer. Since these were given to you the price is unbeatable!

All that matters is:
1) The exact size of the paper is set in the printer settings.
2) If you have a inkjet printer you MUST order inkjet cartridges.
3) Other than that it doesnt matter what kind of paper you use.

In my adventure, Lexmarks do not final very long. Canon does incredibly properly utilizing Canon ink (that are often much less costly). A Canon all-in-one printer/scanners at the instant are not plenty greater effective than a favourite printer. HP has solid photographs yet is going by way of ink speedy. Samsung now makes a shade LASER printer for $299, do not understand how plenty toner is although.

If your paper is 8-1/2 by 11 the Epson printer will use it just fine.

Use any paper you want as long as it has good surface quality for inkjet printing.
