Questions before you print

Can I use the same loading method for sheets and rolls?

Do not assume so. The sheets are much heavier than the roll paper. Check your exact printer’s media thickness, feed path and format support before choosing either version.

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.
