I use this paper with the piezography inks to print fine black and white images. I am very happy with the feel of the paper as well as the quality of the resulting prints. Provides excellent contrast an dMax.

gorgeous soft quality. when using the epson 2880 printer i set it as if it is double sided matt paper and it feeds pretty well.

See my review of the 17×22 size. This is a good test size before printing in a larger format.

We use Velvet fine art by Epson for most of our printing. it is a good heavy paper with a nice finish. The only downside is that it can damage very easy.

I use this on my Epson 3800 and it makes for beautiful prints, great colors, detail and high D-max.

I bought a pack of this paper because it has a great reputation, and man, I wasn’t disappointed! My style has always been high gloss and bright colors, but with this paper I’ve discovered a more subtle style I didn’t know I had in me. It produces the most vivid colors and highest contrast of any matte paper I’ve tried. Great for black and white images. Durable – No issues with loose fibers causing white spots in the finished image – something I’ve experienced with cotton rag papers. Still it’s matte, so it’s somewhat susceptible to surface scuffs. More durable than Hahnemuhle Photo Rag, but not as scuff-resistant as Epson Premium Luster.

This is a consistent and reliable printing paper and a standard setting in the Epson printer interface. Besides its inherrent merit, it can also serve as a bench mark paper for determining whether an Epson printer is functioning normally by comparing a printer managed color print with a color print made with the Epson provided profile managed by Photoshop/Lightroom.

I sell prints of my artwork on this paper, BH ships it in a timely way and the paper always arrives in perfect shape.

Very good product. I use it for mostly black and white fine art printing. Very good tones and comparable to other fine art papers. No problems yet!

This is a beautiful paper. I have used it both for a large print in which I combined photographs and words and for prints in which I wanted a matte textured finish for a photograph. It is exactly what I had in mind. The only problem I had with it was that the instructions that came with it say to print on the whiter side and I have a hard time seeing that one side is whiter than the other, which makes me wonder if the instructions are wrong and it can be used on either side? Or whether I’m just not seeing the difference? At any rate, I’m very happy with the prints I’ve made from it.

Great quality paper. Color came out outstanding especially for pencil drawing texture! It’s a little pricy…

I like the weight and feel of this paper. Black really pops. Not good for portraits but fantastic landscapes.

used it to print the photos for my show, like the brightness.it’s really on the white side, not like a canson -going into yellow. if you look for a great paper and great price go with it!

I do most of my own printing (for 10 years now) as I feel it’s part of the creative / artistic process. Well, I’ve had my R2400 for over 2 years before finally trying this paper… What was I thinking??? The output on this paper is absolutely incredible! I’ve gone back and printed several of my favorite pieces with this paper – it’s amazing how much richer, sharper and vivid they are now. The first noticeable attribute of this paper, it’s weight! Nice! It is heavy – it simply feels as if you’ve got the best pro paper available! I believe, once you try it, you’ll want all your prints on this paper – despite it’s higher price. I’ll soon be upgrading to the 2880 with this paper, I cannot wait to see the results!
