Questions before you print

Is every size supplied with the same sheet count?

No. Epson lists 20 sheets for 8.5 x 11 and 13 x 19 inches, and 25 sheets for 17 x 22 inches. Use the size-and-code table to check the pack you are ordering.

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
Our Expert Opinion
Favourite velvet surface offering unique museum-quality feel. Bright-white, 100% cotton rag. Exceptional tonal range, high black density, distinctive soft texture. Classic choice that'll remain timeless.
Texture pattern more random than Cold Press—handmade but refined feel. Traditional watercolour aesthetic. No optical brightening agents, ideal for archival prints with colour stability lasting generations. Truly museum quality. Long-term stability without compromise.
Maximum contrast for painting reproductions. The bright white base delivers stronger highlights than Cold Press Natural, making colours pop. Smooth, moderate texture works great for watercolour but avoid portraits—texture creates unwanted skin detail. Choose this for drama and brightness.

We know paper

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.

Authorized Epson Pro Graphics Dealer in Canada

Tricera is a Canadian-owned authorized Epson Pro Graphics dealer specializing in Epson professional printers, genuine Epson inks, and a curated selection of fine art and photographic papers from Epson, Hahnemühle, and Moab. We work with print labs, universities, photographers, galleries and creative studios across Canada that depend on professional printing systems for reliable, high-quality output.

With more than 20 years of hands-on experience working with Epson Pro Graphics equipment, we do more than list specifications. We actively work with Epson printers and test many of the papers we sell in real production environments. That allows us to offer practical guidance based on actual use, including media selection, print application and workflow considerations.
