I have been ordering the Hot Press Bright Paper for about two years now, and TWICE I have received defective paper in the 8.5×11 size. It is thicker, courser texture and does not print correctly (grainy, blurry, ink bleeds). I consulted Epson directly and they sent me a replacement package that worked fine, but they had no explanation if it was a defective run and no one at B&H has been able to answer my questions if Epson has pulled this paper and replaced it. When this paper works, it is 5 stars, but two times in a row it’s been defective and unusable.

I produce fine art prints on an Epson 7900 and I love this paper! Nice smooth texture, great color saturation and nice blacks.

I print on an Epson 3880. My two favorite papers for portfolios and prints that will be hung are Epson Hot Press Bright and Exhibition Fiber. I use the latter for about of my prints, especially those with a wide range of colors for which a certain amount of snap is needed. But both EFP and HPB excel at reproducing a wide color range and wide luminosity range. But some prints just look better with a flatter, matte surface. For these HPB is my go to paper. I use it for both B&W and color prints. For images with a narrower color and luminosity range, with particularly muted colors, I use Cold Press Natural. Usually, these images also benefit from a textured paper, somewhat less white paper, like CPN. I can’t think of any negatives.

Outstanding results with the 3880. This is truly matte so it works best with certain. Be sure to download the most recent profile.

Hot press bright has a great tonal range and a smooth surface while still a fine art – as opposed to photograhic – paper. No paper is 5 stars there is always more to see than what’s in a print

I use Hot Press Bright for all my color prints and B&W prints that I want to feel very neutral. (I use Hot Press Natural for slightly warm B&W.) I wish, though, that the paper were just a little bit whiter, so that it would contrast more with Hot Press Natural.) Thank you.

I’m an advanced amateur and do a medium volume of printing. Dozens but not hundreds of images hanging on other peoples’ walls, mainly 12×18 and 16×24. Epson 3880. After printing on semi-gloss media for years (Harman Baryta and Canson Baryta were favorites), I’ve recently switched to matte for framed work. I don’t adhere prints to the backboard, I mount to a front mat with archival corners, and the gloss papers show the paper’s undulations since the print is floating. It’s particularly distracting with larger images and with museum glass. I’ve tested probably 50 papers by printing color wheels, B&W scales, and a handful of challenging images on each paper: same images, same size, same printer. Epson Hot Press Bright is my current favorite. Particularly behind glass or acrylic, the blacks are as black, the colors as vibrant, and the details as sharp as the barytas. In fact, if there’s any glare from daylight or artificial light, the HPB is more vibrant because there are fewer distracting glares. It’s important to test your prints behind the glazing of your choice if that’s how they’ll be displayed. Mattes get better behind glass; glossies and semi-glossies get worse. Of the 4 Epsons, I prefer the smooth Hot Press to the stippled Cold Press, and the white Bright to the warmer, creamier Natural, but that’s just personal preference. Hahnemuhle PhotoRag Ultrasmooth is very comparable, but 50% more expensive.

I use this paper primarily for black and white prints. It has great a weight to it and is a great alternative to the more expensive Moab and Hahnehmule brands. Color prints have come out ok but that could be me and not the paper.

I use it to print photos for shows, and exhibitions. The printer needs to be set for mat paper, but the colors are awesome when the settings are right.

We have been using this paper for over 2 years. It was the best we found. Over the last four months we have ordered numerous amounts from various suppliers and the quality of each pack has been terrible (ink bleeds, poor coverage, colors off drastically). We spoke with Epson directly and they sent a replacement box and it was equally as bad. We are having the same problem with the Hot Press Natural as well. Sadly, after all these years the makeup of this paper has changed. It is barely usable and we moved on and found another paper source (not Epson) which is producing amazing results.

I’m a fine art photographer. Used this paper to print one of my artworks for a show and I could not be more pleased. The print really pops – looks 3D actually. This paper has nice weight and a wonderful nice matte finish. I’ve read about the brightener debate – I’m putting my trust in Epson on that one.

Hot Press Bright is one of my favorite matte fine art papers. Great colors, good detail, snd rich texture. Buying it by the roll makes great sense economically.

This paper is not as bright as I would have liked but it’s good for the work I’m doing. The weight is perfect not to thing not thick. Overall I would use this again and with the 3 for 2 coupon its a great deal.

This is a great paper. I use this with a epson 2400 and a colormunki. The prints are very vivid. I have two prints on the wall and all who stop by are in love with them. This is my new favorite paper.

I use this paper for fine color and B&W portraits in my Epson R3000. It is a heavyweight paper that handles and feels like a fine art product. Epson advises very careful handling as the surface is delicate and scratches easily, just be careful and it works very well.

Wonderful paper

This is my first time printing with a matte finish Epson paper. I am a Photography student; In the past, I’ve used the more accessible Premium Luster Photo paper, but I’ve wanted to transition into something of a heavier weight with a matte finish. Though this is a more expensive paper, it is most definitely worth the price. I am so impressed with the quality of the prints. The finish is gorgeous. It arrived in no time and is very well packaged/protected. Would recommend! (Printing on Epson 3880.)

I was printing 21 17×17 images for a gallery show. After the first few prints I started noticing tiny gray/black specks in the white/unprinted border areas. Never at the same spot, never more then 2 or 3. Of course I thought this had to be a printer issue. (Epson SC P800). I spend hours with Epson customer service trying to take care of the problem. After wasting about 50 sheets they gave up and told me to bring the printer to a service center. They checked it for two days and told me the printer was in great shape and to bring some of the paper I was printing on. Long story short, the specks were there before the paper ever entered the printer. You don’t see it at all in the darker areas but in the white and light areas the are clearly visible and once you put the print under museum glass they get even worse. It took 70 sheets to get 21 good ones in the end. NEVER again.

Have used Hot Press Bright for a few years in 8.5×11 and 13×19 sizes for b&w prints. This was my first purchase of the 17×22 for prints 18 on the long side and the prints were good but not quite as contrasty, even after soft proofing, as I am used to. However, this was also the first time I printed Fuji medium format this large. Bottom line, I need to do more work with these files on this paper. I do like the texture and brightness.
