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 ran the Exhibition Fiber through an Epson 4880 and had two main issues. The paper was so curled at the beginning that the print head kept hitting the leading edge of the paper leaving ink marks. Each time I had to release the roll and do an opposit curl on the leading edge. I also noticed scratch marks on the print as well from the machine. Love the paper just not how it preformed in the machine.

Fine art photographic paper choice is very subjective. The baryta evangelists are all over the board on what they consider the best paper. In my humble opinion the differences are subtle and, yes, personal. This is a great paper. Some say it is too white. White is white and this paper is, white, bright, vibrant, sharp and stunning especially when printed up using Ultrachrome HDR inks on my Epson 7900. I like it. My customers like it. When Epson offered their recent promotion, I snapped up a bunch of it. Too bad it doesn’t come in rolls, but I must admit Epson packages the sheets extremely well, protecting the edges and corners better than any other paper manufacturer I have used. … The profiles from Epson are quite good. This is a very fine paper. I will continue to use it. It sells.

This is my go to paper for my very best images. The blacks are incredible and the paper feels like the best of the quality darkroom papers.

I have used Exhibition fiber for most of my printing needs since it was first released by Epson. The paper’s weight, surface, and feel is very similar to traditional silver printing papers. The results are superb whether you’re printing color or B&W. The archival properties of this paper is the best reason to use it. Epson often runs a buy two, get one free promotion which is the time to stock up and save. The order arrived on time and the products were in excellent shape.

I use this paper for all my documentary people work which is all black and white. It really brings out the character and texture of my subjects. Deep blacks in a warm semi gloss paper.

Had a hard time getting the colors to come out right using Epson Exhibition Fiber profile on an Epson P800 printer. Finally got it looking good by using the Epson Luster profile. This is the reason for the 4 stars, the ICC profile being bad. Wasted too many prints. Love the look of the paper, just be sure to get all the white specks of the paper before printing, or you will have ugly white spots on your finished print.

Lives up to its name as Exhibition quality paper. The best semi-gloss I have ever used in my Epson P-800.

I am using this paper to print color photos on an Epson Stylus Pro 3880. When investigating paper to use for prints that will be hung as artwork in a hotel, I compared a test on Exhibition Fiber with prints on Epson Ultra Premium Luster paper. Everyone who saw the prints agreed that the paper base, the clarity and intensity of the colors, the weight of the paper, and the surface texture of the Exhibition Fiber are all superior. I love the look and feel of this paper! As other people have mentioned in their reviews, I did find that some of the sheets had a few very tiny black or gray spots on them, about the size of a pencil lead. For that reason, I put my rating at 4 stars instead of 5. Many of the sheets had none of these dots, and of those that did, most had only one or two. Maybe two or three sheets out of the package had three-to-five spots. By noting where they were, I was able to orient the paper so that the spots fell in an area of the print where they were invisible. So, other than requiring a little extra time and care, the spots did not present an insurmountable problem for me. Still, you would expect Epson to provide flawless sheets in such a high-end paper. My only other complaint is that I wish Epson would offer this paper in 17 x 25 sheets so that we could print images uncropped at 16 x 24. I haven’t tried the paper with black and white prints yet, but I expect it will produce beautiful images.

I am using this paper as a replacement for Canson Baryta, and I think It performs at least as well as the Canson. The images seem to have a great dynamic range (based on a non-scientific evaluation), bright with a lot of depth. I love the heaviness of the paper also.

Epson’s Exhibition Fiber Paper is amazing for color or black & white. A beautiful surface, not matte and not gloss, shows your work in wonderful tones and value nuances. You won’t be disappointed!

I’m using my first box of 13×19 Exhibition Fiber, printing with the Epson Stylus Photo 2400. I had difficulty figuring out the proper settings to print through the back feeder of the printer (Manual-Roll is correct) and then I had issues with dust or dirt on the paper. I had previously not had dust problems with Epson Ultra Premium Luster. I’m now examining each sheet before printing and wiping any specs off with a soft brush. Seems to be working well. The paper prints very similarly to Ultra Premium Luster, so I am doing all my testing with that paper, using the same profile, and using the more expensive Exhibition Fiber for final prints for framing. What I love is that, with the Exhibition Fiber’s 13 mil thickness, I finally have an Epson 13×19 paper I can mount and frame by simply using archival corner mounts, leaving the print removable. The paper remains flat in the matted frame. The 10 mil Ultra Premium Luster gets wavy when framed with this method, and the only way I can get an acceptable framed product with that paper is to dry mount the print, a totally non-archival process.

Epson’s Exhibition Fiber Paper hits a home run! It renders deep, rich images in both color and monochrome. Images look so deep that I looked at them sideways to see if they actually had a third dimension! The paper renders excellent black and white images — and captures a full range of grays. In general, excellent tonal quality. However, the paper tends to oversaturate orange tones, requiring the tweaking of images with strong orange tones

Holy cr8p! That’s is all i have to say! There is probably other paper out there just as good, and does a fantastic job with the inks for the Epson 4900. But i decided to keep it in the family and buy epson paper for my Epson printer….just for starters. I have printed on Kodak glossy photo paper preveiously….the end result was OK…there was always a weird issue with high contrasting colors touching in the photo….i dont see it on these Epson papers.
