Replicating the appearance and feel of a traditional F-surface darkroom paper, Epson Exhibition Fiber Paper aims to provide users with a beautiful soft gloss finish for their digital prints. A fiber base offers a professional feel with a weight of 325 gsm and thickness of 13 mil, making it an excellent choice for galleries and exhibitions. Also, by utilizing some optical brightening agents the paper is able to reach a whiteness of 147% and a brightness of 111%. This makes it possible to create prints with deep blacks and subtle tonal gradations, suitable for advanced black-and-white printing as well as long-lasting color prints. Additionally, this paper is instant drying.
This paper is available here as a 25-pack of 8.5 x 11″ sheets.

I retired from teaching at The Williston Northampton School in Easthampton, MA. 16 years ago but have continued to maintain a display of team photographs at the School. Presently there are over 1600 photographs on the walls of the gym with the first one being that of the 1870 baseball team. Although most are archival monochrome prints we started taking taking and printing the pictures digitally about 5 years ago. However, the printer got about 5 seasons behind so I decided I would take on the printing of them. Fortunately, I live close to the School and have access to the computer/printer area at the photo lab. I looked around for a good paper to use and Epson’s Exhibition Fiber Paper for Inkjet was recommended so I tried it and am immensely pleased with the results. The soft gloss surface is ideal for the display. All photographs continue to be printed in B&W with a slight warm tone.

I have been a regular Exhibition fiber user in B&W and color for many years and find the current Signature Worthy edition to be an improvement over previous (white box) production runs. One of my past pet peeves was the paper’s curl that made feeding into my Epson P800 an occasional challenge. Still not as flat as the Hahnemhle Fine Art Baryta Glossy but close. The surface texture appears slightly more pronounced than before though smooth enough to clearly differentiate its from the Hahnemhle. Finally, when looking for the paper with the greatest tonal range and highest d-max Exhibition Fiber remains my go to paper.

Had some photographs of mine displayed at a NYC hotel recently in one of the rooms as a permanent collection. I wheat pasted this paper up on the walls of the room and it came out amazing. I am so happy with this paper.

Great paper for black and white printing (did not try color), but expensive.

If you need a paper to print images this is just about perfect. I’ve been using this paper for years with consistently great results. It will give you a slight gloss look. Great for color as well as B&W images.

This is my favorite paper for any image, color or black & white. Black and white produces a warm tone that fit my images perfectly!

I have Epson Sure Color P6000 Printer. I am a photographer and using 3 Epson great paper depend on the images. I am using Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster, Velvet Fine Art Paper (Cotton) and this Fiber Paper. Luster is good enough and I love Velvet because of the cotton texture. I totally expected this Fiber paper but unfortunately my printer, P6000 printer screen does not show this paper’s name. No listed. So I am using Ultra Luster instead. I talked to Epson customer service but their answer was totally unsure then I sent email to them 3 times but no reply about this issue. And I want to say also please make sure that if the 4 corners of paper are no damaged. sometimes the corner already get damaged when the paper arrived. And only this Exhibition Fiber Paper are perfectly protected from damage in its own original box. That is very thoughtful.

I print color photographs and this is the best paper I have ever used. Images are the sharpest I have ever seen them and the depth of color is extroadinary. The paper’s finish can be easily scratched, so you have to be careful with it and keep it in the package it came in and then protect your prints when they are done. The thickness is quite good and reminds you of professional papers that were used for film printing. I used Epson’s provided ICC profile on my Epson 3880 printer and the colors were very true.

Excellent paper, especially for color prints.

I like this paper quite a bit. I feel it does a good job of accurately portraying colors and has just enough texture to give my images a 3d feel. My only complaint is that I could not find anywhere that told me how to set up my printer and I had to contact epson for the information. In addition if you do not have an epson printer I do not know where you could find a printer profile.

I’ve been using this paper for a while now. Color fidelity, weight, texture and DMax are spectacular. Simply beautiful paper.

I print in black and white with an Epson R2400 printer and my results with this paper have been superb. The downloaded profile available from the Epson website works well. This paper requires a manual feed and I select the thick paper option in the printer menu. I will definitely continue using this paper

I won’t say this is the best fiber, because that depends on what you like and how you use it. I like it very much for some things. It has a great surface and takes the pigments of an Epson 3880 beautifully. I would like it to be just a touch lighter. It’s too much like cardboard for my taste, but does make it easy to mount. Harmann make a paper that is just a touch more like air-dried glossy and that will probably become my standard for black and white, but I think the Epson stands out when printing color.

I tried this paper and I love it. I makes beautiful black and white prints. I will definitely be using more of it in the future.

For museum, gallery and exhibition level prints. initial reaction: paper resembles look and feel of traditional fiber based silver gelatin paper. the holy grail of digital printers. second reaction: difficult to profile and print. it is picky about settings and ink sets. third reaction: gorgeous prints. So, 5 stars for final prints; 3 stars for ease of use; average 4 stars

I use this to print an 8×10 before committing to a larger format print, if that is my ultimate goal. A premium luster paper with enough gloss to look like a photo print but with lower glare than hi gloss and a beautiful texture.

Works wonderfully well with Epson printer. Gallery worthy prints.

Once you’ve calibrated to this paper, and taken the time to pull the very best prints you can on this and any competitor you name, setting them side by side I doubt you’d ever go back. The range is that great, and the color that incredible. But the magic is that it not only works in color, but also B&W, where again the dynamic range is amazing for ink on paper. The weight is fabulous, the surface is too. But there is a downside. Although Epson has been very responsive to complaints and returns, there are quality-control issues–most notably with the larger sizes. If you’re picky, you may find occasional black specks or even particles in the emulsion, and some boxes are worse than others. I am sending those sheets back to them because I want to help. I hope this is something they are working through, because I’ve told them what I’m telling you: the combination with Epson inks is extraordinary.
