This is my go-to paper for fine art prints. It works beautifully in my new Epson P900 with the roll paper adapter. I have tried a number of fine art papers, and this is by far my favorite.

I really like Epson Hot Press Bright I like that it’s non reflective quality helps prints to really come alive. This is the first time printing one of my lightning photographs but I was really happy with the look and feel of this paper. I have also had great results printing with this paper using the Epson sepia print settings for a black and white image. I would recommend buying a smaller pack of this paper so that you can proof your print on smaller paper does not use as much ink to get it dialed in.

It is one of the finest all around papers to use for either B&W or color.

The paper is fantastic for grey tones but it doesnt seem to be getting the black intensities right. I've downloaded the paper drivers for my epson stylus pro 3880 printer but it's not getting there. Not sure if it's a printer issue or a paper problem. Would appreciate help troubleshooting this!

The Epson watercolor paper is the best I have ever used for reproducing fine art prints.

This is one of my two favorite papers that I use. The dMax is the best that I have seen for my printer. I use the Epson 3800. Saturation and depth are wonderful.

I like the heaviness and whiteness of the paper. It frames nicely. One drawback is that it takes a couple of tries to feed it into the back of my Epson 3800 printer.

I'm using this paper for a recent shoot in New Orleans and looking at the work after their framed is incredible. I highly recommend this paper. It has just the right amount of texture, brightness and weight to add to the image and gives it a fine art feel and finish.

I have a Epson 3880 printer and this paper is a perfect match for my printer (using the 3880 profile that can be downloaded from Epson). I have used the "Natural" version of Epson Hot Press, but I prefer "Bright" as it seems to render my images crisper. The Bright version seems to work equally well with color and monochrome images.

This is the paper I reserve for my best work. I also use Epson's Ultra-Premium Presentation Matte the difference is that the Hot Press bright has a larger gamut and has more contrast. Photographs printed on the Hot Press Bright seem to look sharper. Highly recomended. .

I use this paper as my primary printing stock. It has deep rich blacks & brilliant color rendition. It is of course matte, so no annoying glares. Heavy weight and sturdy.

I had been looking for a paper that best illustrated my "idea" of the perfect Black and White--This is it. Heavy professional paper, feels good in your hand, absorbs color well, after a few days, the photo even looks better. Can't really say anything negative. I am delighted with the paper. I am printing an 11 x 17 portrait next week.

I am using the Hot Press Bright Paper for my fine art color gallery prints. I like the lack of texture (Hot Press) and the bright whites (Bright}. I love the accurate color rendition. The only prints I avoid are prints with large areas of black because I have found the blacks to be a bit muddy with this paper. I use Luster paper for those prints.

I am a photograph retoucher and live in Japan. I'm sorry since the translation site is used, if it is strange English. It is making to carry out the retouch of many photographers' work, and to print it into business. Although I liked the mat art paper of smooth surface and various makers' paper was tested, it is "Hot Press Bright" of Epson which was chosen as finally printing its own work. The reason for using the product of Epson which is a Japanese maker, importing it specially is as follows. A very large color gamut. The highly complete profile for Epson 3880. A high degree of whiteness and the suppressed calm result are made compatible. The best also for a monochrome print. The highest cost performance. (even if it pays a fare) I recommend you strongly. To what will be chosen with mat art paper, and those that are straying ..
