Epson Cold Press Bright Reviews

Best art paper and shipped free

By Mark
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-06-18

I'm a professional artist and I've tested and used a lot of printer papers. I've settled on this Epson Cold Press Bright because, not only is it the best one I've tested, but my customers absolutely love it. Paper quality is my #1 most common compliment from customers (I wish it were "art quality"!). Fast, free shipping from B+H doesn't hurt either!

question

Does anyone know what Canon printer settings (PROGRAF PRO-1000) to use for this paper? Because they're competitors, there's no ICC profile, but there should be a standard setting that should work.
Asked by: Dean G.
Sorry, I print with Epson printers and Epson has a profile for this paper.
