second (long) name is descriptive. Not all media types are supported
on all printers.

We have found that glossy photo papers not specifically designed for
Epson printers generally perform poorly in Epson printers. The ink
tends to pool on the paper, causing muddy shadows and possibly leaving
ink on the printer rollers. Use of the highest quality printing modes
(1440x720 highest quality and 2880x720 unidirectional) produces the
best result on such papers, probably because printing is slower and
there is more time for the ink to dry.
