Why Use Genuine Epson OEM Paper?

  • Colour-matched to Epson inks – Epson papers are profiled and tested with UltraChrome HDX, UltraChrome HD, UltraChrome K3, and Claria ink systems for accurate, predictable colour output
  • ICC profiles available – Epson provides free downloadable ICC profiles for every paper and printer combination, enabling professional colour-managed workflows
  • Exceptional archival longevity – Epson UltraChrome HDX pigment inks on Epson Exhibition Fiber Paper are rated for over 200 years of display life — among the highest ratings in the industry
  • Instant-dry coating – Epson’s proprietary paper coatings absorb ink rapidly, eliminating smearing and allowing immediate handling after printing
  • Consistent sheet quality – uniform coating weight and surface finish across every sheet, eliminating the batch variation common with third-party media
  • No print head risk – Epson OEM papers are tested to ensure they do not shed coating particles that can clog Epson Micro Piezo print heads

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need to use Epson paper with my Epson printer? — You are not required to use Epson paper, but genuine Epson OEM media is profiled and tested specifically for Epson ink systems. Using Epson paper with Epson UltraChrome or Claria ink ensures the most accurate colour, maximum ink absorption, and the longest archival print life. Third-party papers may produce acceptable results but will not be covered by Epson’s longevity ratings.
  • What is the difference between Epson Cold Press Bright and Cold Press Natural? — Both are textured fine art papers with a watercolour-paper surface. Cold Press Bright has a brighter white base that produces more vivid, saturated colour — ideal for colour photography and illustration. Cold Press Natural has a warmer, cream-toned base that gives prints a classic fine art feel — preferred for black-and-white photography and traditional fine art subjects.
  • Where can I find ICC profiles for Epson papers? — Epson provides free ICC profiles for every paper and SureColor printer combination on the Epson Canada support website. Download the profile for your specific paper and printer model and install it in your print driver, Lightroom, or RIP software for colour-managed output.
