Our Expert Opinion

Same benefits as Hot Press Bright—excellent weight, smooth surface, strong blacks. Difference is the warmer natural white base, giving less contrast. For smooth fine art with warmer tone. For maximum contrast, choose Bright.

Description

A smooth, natural-white cotton matte paper without optical brightening agents.

Epson Hot Press Natural combines an extremely smooth hot press surface with a 100% cotton base. Its warmer paper white and OBA-free construction make it an option for photographers and artists who prefer a natural-white matte presentation. The surface is designed for rich blacks and a wide colour gamut without adding a pronounced paper texture to the image.

Questions before you print

Should I choose Hot Press Natural or Bright?

Choose Natural when a warmer, OBA-free paper white suits your work. Choose Bright when you prefer a brighter base. Both are smooth matte cotton papers; choose Cold Press Natural if you want more surface texture.

Will this paper work with my printer?

Check the exact printer model, supported media thickness and loading method, not just the paper dimensions. Rolls also require the correct roll handling and core support. Tell Tricera your printer model and chosen size if you need help checking suitability.

Which ICC profile and media setting should I use?

Use the settings and ICC profile specified for the exact printer, ink and paper combination. Epson provides profiles through its printer support downloads. Follow the profile instructions and apply colour management only once in your print workflow.

Our Expert Opinion

Hot Press Bright is one of our favourites for limited edition prints and fine art photography. We particularly like its black density for a matte paper and the way its smooth surface presents fine detail. The bright white base gives the image a clean, crisp setting.
Most popular for painting reproductions. The natural white point closely matches traditional canvas, letting you get remarkably close to original colours. Same smooth texture as Cold Press Bright. Artists with bright, high-contrast work choose Bright; everyone else picks this.

We regularly test fine art and photographic papers from Epson, Hahnemühle, and Moab to better understand how different media perform with professional inkjet printers and pigment inks. While Tricera specializes in Epson printing systems, the Hahnemühle and Moab papers we carry are designed for use with any professional pigment inkjet printer, including Canon and HP, making them a strong option for photographers, print studios and production environments across Canada regardless of which printer brand they use.
