I recently read a review of Velvet Fine Art by well known photographer Art Wolf. Where, he used a lot of adjectives to describe this paper. I too, would like to fill the page with a lot of adjectives but will instead just say that this is a wonderful paper for making B&W and Color fine art prints. The surface is a beautiful bright creamy white with a slightly textured surface. I recently exhibited 15-13×19 color Fine Art Prints at a Baltimore gallery and convinced my co-exhibitor to use Velvet Fine Art as well. We have had very favorable comments about the prints from local and out of town visitors. They were using some of those adjectives that Art Wolf used to describe prints made with this paper. As Nike says, Just Do It. Make some prints for yourself and see how many adjectives will be used to describe your prints.

I shoot in digital infrared and process most of my work in black and white. A glossy finish just does not fit the aesthetic of my work. This paper allows all of the gorgeous tones of the gray scale and very deep blacks to come through. I will not print my monotones on any other paper!

Always happy with B& H products.

This is a nice feeling relatively inexpensive paper. This paper does not have a photo paper glossy surface, it’s more of a watercolor paper feel. The blues tend to print more toward a cyan than a true vivid blue. And the saturation isn’t as dark when compared to a better paper such as Moab’s Somerset Enhanced Velvet paper where the colors are very vivid and really pop. If you’re looking for something inexpensive which you don’t have install icc profiles for the paper and just want it to work, this is one of the better looking epson papers. It doesn’t feel as cheap as their other glossy or matte papers. If you’re looking for a paper for professional quality prints, this isn’t the best option.

I use this paper to reproduce some of my colorful paintings using my Epson R3000. The colors siply pop off the page – or did when I figured out how to align my settings properly. It’s really super and I’m selling the prints! I think I’m on my 4th box in a month.

Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper is the only paper I use for my fine art prints. My clents have often comented on how much they liked the paper with it’s suttle grain. I get excellent results in both color and black & white.

This paper is easy to handle and gives a film-like quality to my images. It’s clear that it ain’t a photo until it’s printed.

LOVE this paper . . . printed my husband’s gorgeous watercolor on this paper, 4 up . . . with 3 regular sizes and a smaller one used as a bookmark. After separately cutting the images apart, I applied each to a beautiful blue card stock and then glued the two pieces onto a blank greeting card. I then inserted a hand-written Holiday message . . . voil . . . a stunning handmade Holiday card, suitable for framing!

Tried all of the signature worthy paper and this is by far my favorite for color. The color is bold and really makes things pop.

EASY TO SET UP. BEAUTIFUL COLORS! FAST! CAN’T WAIT TO ORDER LARGER SIZE PAPER TO TRY PRINTING PHOTOS ON A PROFESSIONAL SCALE. IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE SPACE IT’S A LITTLE LARGE.

has a great color gamut and deep black. a beautiful surface for fine art prints. only problem is the surface is incredibly delicate, must be stored or matted with great care.

My first attempt at prints and they did not print well with this paper???

Prints of my artwork. The only thing that I don’t like is that is very difficult to tell the whiter side to print on. I get frustrated when I waste a piece because of it.

I gave it 4 stars because I have been spoiled by Hahnemuhle William Turner paper which is amazing– but at a lesser price, it was a good runner up. IMHO

Was unable to use it. The rear feeder on my printer is not working. Normally I use the Velvet to make my greeting cards which includes my Christmas cards. My cards, which feature my photos on them, are beautifully outstanding. The Velvet paper makes an exceptional card. I receive compliments on them regularly. The front feeder on my printer is working so I ordered the Ultra Premium Presentation Matte which also does a beautiful job with its quality of my images. The Matte card is definitely a nice card. The image is beautifully accomplished. However, the same card made with the Velvet paper goes from nice to exceptional. ……………. The printer will be repaired.

Epson seems to always have a matte finish paper that compares well with other company’s usually more expensive offerings. Velvet Fine Art has been around for a while but it never really hit my radar until recently. I normally use Hot Press Natural because I like the smooth matte surface and the thickness and weight. HPN also is OBA-free so it should remain exactly as printed for decades to come if treated well. Velvet Fine Art gets pretty good Wilhelm ratings for archivability using Epson’s Ultrachrome K3 pigment inks, my standard setup. VFA is a little thinner and lighter than HPN. It does have some OBAs but it appears to be a minimal amount since the whites are not super bright. The matte surface of VFA is a little more textured than HPN’s smoother finish. Velvet Fine Art costs a little less than Hot Press Natural as well. So I gave VFA a try with some photos I had previously printed on HPN and Canson Rag Photographique (a paper that looks an awful lot like HPN but costs an awful lot more). Truthfully, the only difference I could detect was the thickness of the paper and the very slight increase in brightness and surface texture. Colors were identical, using the same print settings for Lightroom (increasing sharpness, brightness and contrast for matte paper). I still prefer Hot Press Natural for the weight and thickness but Velvet Fine Art has now found a place in my regular paper supply for both the look and the economy.

I’ve made numerous pieces of art with this paper printing them on the Epson R1800. Excellent results. Make sure you use the proper color management work flow for accurate results.

Heavy paper with wonderful texture for making fine art prints and reproductions, particularly of watercolor subjects.
