I love this paper. It shows off your images in a classy way. I use it with an Epson Stylus printer. Images are crisp without the gloss.

I printed several prints for a photography show with this paper. I had used Moab’s Somerset Velvet in the past but didn’t want to spend the money. Someone told me about this paper. Although it isn’t inexpensive either, it was less than Moab’s and just as good in my opinion.

I’ve been doing comparisons to the Velvet Fine Art and Epson Ultra Premium Luster on a 3800 Stylus Pro. I like the results of the Velvet better. I’m very pleased with the sharpness of the prints in both color and B&W, and the rich tones and colors. To me the Velvet yields a more vivid print. One issue, however, is making sure you’re printing on the whiter side of the paper. It’s very difficult for me to see the whiter side but two tips have been helpful. Epson packs the printable side facing up when you open the package (box/plastic flap side up). The other test is the sticky test. Lightly moisten a thumb and forefinger and gently press on a tip of one sheet. The sticky (or stickier) side is the printable side. I’ve printed some B&W portrait shots that have all black backgrounds with the face the only lit subject area and have been very pleased with the results.

Black and white portraits look stunning on this paper.

I really like this paper. Stiff, nice bright colors, haven’t noticed fading after three years. scuffs a bit if youre not careful though. dries quickly. nice watercolor effect on some tones.

This is the best paper I have tried with my Epson 3880 printer for HDR photographs. The images are vivid and alive.

VFA is an incredible paper…the colors come out really nice and saturated. B&Ws are especially awesome…it still retains a lot of detail in the shadows where most other papers will go ‘muddy’. The paper has a really nice texture that doesn’t get in the way of most images…but if you want a smooth paper choose something else. Handle it with care as the surface is somewhat delicate.

Gives my photos a very warm quality.

I use this paper to print black and white photos on an Epson Stylus Pro 2880. I order Velvet in the 17×22 size and use a rotary trimmer to cut it into 8.5×11 sheets. This gives me 100 sheets at 8.5×11 for $ rather than buying it at that size for a significant amount more. It is a great paper–for smaller prints. Despite having a noticable texture, it prints with exceptional clarity. For large prints I use Epson’s Ultrasmooth, as a 13×19 sheet of it will more easily go through the rear manual feed of the 2880 whereas the Velvet seems to have a problem going through. B&H is where I get pretty much everything now–camera bodies, lenses, printers, new iMac (their price was the best available,even with an academic discount elsewhere), paper, ink, cables, etc.

I have always liked the texture, weight and durability of the Fine Art Paper but the most important feature is the color. Clients have always marveled at the quality of the color that can be produced using this fine paper.

Professional printing paper for digital printers. Excellent quality.
Malcolm Schmitt (verified owner) –
I used it on my old Epson 2200 and it works great.
Dusty Dickinson (verified owner) –
Other places this great paper is $4 a sheet. But here is was about $2.50! This paper is not flimsy, it’s got a nice texture, and looks great with ink. I recommend it.

I use Velvet Fine Art with Epson UltraChrome inks a lot for portraits and my art photography, some of which includes digital montages with painting. I get deep rich tones and the thick paper stays flat when matted and mounted.

Perfect paper to use in collages.

Makes very nice, rich prints.
Carleton Hilpert (verified owner) –
I have used the Velvet Fine Art paper for several years for wildflife, portrait and landscape photography. IMO, it is Epson’s best paper — rich blacks, even reflectivity for all colors and gives good resolution prints.

Always a pleasure dealing with B&H for quality products such as Epson paper

The paper is high quality and prints fairly well. I do have some trouble with blocked up shadows. The inks looks like it bleeds a bit in the dark areas. I just got an Epson 3800 and I am still trying out papers that look right for me. But I feel that is a good, high quality rag paper that would work well for someone who likes the mat finish.
