Our Expert Opinion

Most popular for painting reproductions. The natural white point closely matches traditional canvas, letting you get remarkably close to original colors. Same smooth texture as Cold Press Bright. Artists with bright, high-contrast work choose Bright; everyone else picks this.

Maximum contrast for painting reproductions. The bright white base delivers stronger highlights than Cold Press Natural, making colors pop. Smooth, moderate texture works great for watercolor but avoid portraits—texture creates unwanted skin detail. Choose this for drama and brightness.
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.

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.

Orders ship from Canadian warehouses, helping customers across Canada get product faster while avoiding cross-border delays, duties and exchange-related surprises. Canadian customers also benefit from full Epson Canada warranty support.
