This is a beautiful paper for both color and monochrome photo prints. Just be sure your Epson printer has matte black capability, and can handle this weight and thickness paper. The images are rich.

I love this paper so still gave it 4 stars but most of the time it comes with a bent corner on every sheet. If I wasn’t on a deadline this time I’d send it back for a replacement. The box it’s packaged in always seems to have a crunched corner which damages the sheets. I don’t know if it comes directly from Epson that way or if it happens in shipping from B and H but it’s frustrating to say the least. Impossible to count on getting an undamaged pack lately so full bleed prints are out of the question.

I have been using Epson Velvet fine art paper for the past few years. The prints turn out beautifully when I set Epson artisan 1430 standard as the printer profile in Photoshop and use Ultra Premium Presentation Matte or Premium Presentation Matte as the paper option(Velvet fine art paper is not listed as a paper option in Artisan 1430 printer properties). The colors are very vivid and the printing outcome is sharp. Very happy with the product.

I work for a Museum and I use the Velvet Fine Art paper to reproduce prints from our collection of paintings for our gift shop.The results are beautiful. For a reproduction I feel the paper helps to keep the original intent of the artwork. I also use this paper for proofing, to help me color match digital files to originals.

This was my first use of an Epson fine art paper. In the course of the past 50 years of my work I have used most of the established fine art papers for watercolor, pen & ink, pencil and even pen plotted drawings. Usage has ranged from Arches for watercolor and Strathmore for pen & ink. With the advent of high quality digital printing I was not aware that Epson had managed to have a fine art quality paper tailored for compatibility with their printers. This paper has exceeded my expectation and I will re-order the paper.

I have used his paper in my old Epson R1800 and now my new Epson Pro3880. In the R1800, I fell in love with the subtle texture and the wonderful richness and saturation that this paper was capable of. With the 3880, things are even better and now I get beautiful black and white images, too. If you want a gallery look and feel, especially if you play with filters such as dry brush in Photoshop or you manipulate images in Corel Painter, this paper will give you a texture that compliments those painterly looks perfectly. But it is also a great paper for artsy photographs and landscape/scenic photographs too because it will keep nice crisp edges. It is not cheap, but quality never is. I suggest using Epson Ultra Premium Matte to do your proofs and only use this paper for the final print to keep costs down. As other people have mentioned, B&H packages papers so they arrive undamaged using an outer box and bubble wrap. No bent corners with B&H. They do it right.

I use this paper when making final prints. No need to print more than one . Looks great the first time!

I’ve tried various matte textured archival inkjet papers and this is my favorite. It’s the same as Somerset Velvet printmaking paper, except that it’s prepared to accept Epson Ultrachrome inks. It doesn’t chip or show fingerprints easily, which are two important features in its favor compared to other matte textured papers, and is reasonably priced compared to those others. However, color management is a little more challenging than with glossy paper.

I proof with with ultra premium presentation paper MATTE. EVFAP gives me a similar print with more dmax. My two other two favorite papers are Luster and Exhibition Fine Art Paper (even more dmax). EVFAP gives me that same brightness plus a wonderful texture.

I print using either Hahnemuhle German Etching paper if I want a textured paper or Epson Velvet Fine Art for a finer surface. Epson Velvet loads easily into my Epson 4880 is a perfect weight, and the prints turn out looking wonderful. I’ve tried cheaper papers like Moab’s Kayenta and was not happy. Epson Velvet is worth the extra money.

mostly Black and White absolutely fantastic paper less appropriate for color

This is by far the best paper for making fine art prints on. They look stunning and far more expensive!!

This paper has a rich velvet texture to it that lends itself beautifully to a museum like quality for our restoration photos.

I am using this Epson paper in various sizes. The 8.5×11 is used for either proofing before going to larger sizes or stand alone. The texture and tonality are beautiful and work well under any framing. My B&W favorite paper, with Ultra Smooth Fine Art from Epson too.

I love Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper, but the box you guys sent this in was the exact dimensions of the paper package and managed to get crushed a bit, so the edges of the paper ended up with some crinkling. :/ I really needed it for art I was printing to submit to Comic-Con’s Art Show and didn’t have time to send this back for a replacement…luckily the prints I was doing were 8 x 10’s and I’d be cutting off a large margin. But maybe next time you could package better to avoid such a tight-fit box and risk of package damage.

With this paper, I make framed 13×19 prints. I use this paper with my Epson r3000 printer. The results are stunning. Highly recommend!

Always a favorite paper of mine. Never an issue.

The velvet fine art paper reproduces colors and tones better than most any other matte-style paper I’ve used. I did some paper tests over the last six months and this is the one I decided on. Just wish they made it in rolls so I could do more large-format printing with it. Superb paper.

I love this paper…it has a great texture. Not too rich but has a nice, fine art feel. I wish it was a little thicker, but it is still my main paper to use. This paper doesn’t have a marker for which side is the printing side, so you have to be careful.
