Questions before you print

How does Cold Press Bright differ from Hot Press Bright?

Cold Press Bright has a more pronounced texture; Hot Press Bright is smooth. Choose according to how much the paper surface should contribute to the image. For a warmer textured paper without OBAs, compare Cold Press Natural.

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.
