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.
