Our Expert Opinion

Our hands-down favourite. Widest colour gamut we've tested, most stable paper Epson makes. No optical brighteners, exceptional surface consistency, free of defects. Used by photographers selling gallery work wanting absolute best. Museum quality with incredible colour range.

Description

A smooth satin cotton paper for photographs with deep blacks and gentle tonal transitions.

Epson Legacy Platine brings a traditional silver halide F-surface look to a 100% cotton fine art base. Its smooth satin coating provides a photographic presentation, while the microporous ink-receptive layer is designed for deep blacks, a wide colour gamut and gradual tonal transitions. It is a useful option when you want some surface sheen without moving to a high-gloss paper.

At a glance

  • Smooth satin surface on a 100% cotton base.
  • 314 gsm weight and 17 mil thickness.
  • No optical brightening agents.
  • Acid- and lignin-free; pH buffered.

Where it works well

  • Colour and black-and-white fine art photographs.
  • Photographic portfolios and exhibition prints.
  • Images where smooth tonal transitions and a satin surface suit the presentation.

Questions before you print

How does Platine differ from Legacy Fibre?

Platine has a smooth satin surface. Legacy Fibre is matte. Compare the papers when surface reflections, the paper white and the presentation of dark tones matter to your image.

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.

Does archival paper guarantee a particular print life?

No. Print life depends on the ink and paper combination, lighting, display, handling and storage. Follow Epson’s media guidance and protect finished prints from surface damage. A general paper specification is not a print-life guarantee for every printing system.

Some like the cotton fibre feel and darkroom resemblance. Honest limitation: surface can have imperfections from cotton seeds, and brighteners fade quickly. We strongly recommend Legacy Platine instead—better longevity and surface quality without drawbacks.
Top-performing photo paper featuring traditional "orange peel" luster surface of silver halide prints. Professional photographers' favourite. Works with pigment and dye printers. Cut sheet version of Premium Luster 260. Excellent colour accuracy.

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.
