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.

Blacks are deep & detailed…colors vibrant every time. Won’t print on anything else!

The shadows are so much better on EF. Really they are far more open and less blocky. Just wish it wasn’t so expensive!

This is a thick presentation paper between semigloss and matte finish. Colors and B&W look excellent. Takes photo black ink on the Epson printer. I use it for competition photos.

It has a very soft texture, which makes for a luster surface. But it looks like paper, not too different than the old silver-gelatin F-surface, not like the resin-coated look of some luster surfaces.

Exhibition Fiber Paper is a light luster paper with which you can use photo-black (PK) ink. It is a heavy weight and as a fiber paper doesn’t have the plastic feel of Ultra Premium Luster Paper. The 13 x 19 size comes in a box that is larger than the paper and the paper sits in a cardboard frame such that the corners are very well protected. (I’m talking about the Epson box, not the shipping box.) As a light luster paper, it has a bit of a texture (not extreme) and a light sheen which helps to give it a good DMAX. Unfortunately, although the paper is in the Epson Signature Worthy series, you can’t sign it in pencil. Felt tipped pens are the only type of pen I’ve found that give good results. Be sure to let the ink dry for several days before covering the print (say for shipping).

I purchased this paper to use with the Epson Stylus Pro 3800. I print both color and B&W photos and want the best quality image using archival materials. The paper has a gloss finish. If the image one produces is a good one, this paper will help you produce a beautiful final product.

It is my go to paper for high detail, harder or b&w. 8.5×11 for test sheets for larger prints.

First of all, I use this paper exclusively for black and white prints. I started working in ‘the darkroom’ fifty years ago. This paper rivals if not succeeds any paper available I have ever used. The reflective quality of this paper and its ability to register an amazing spectrum of blacks work together to produce images that are truly eye-popping. And there are no messy chemicals to fuss with. LOL

Worth the money. Great prints

I’m a professional fine artist that shoots with black and white film. I scan my negatives and print digitally. I am happy with the results of this paper compared to traditional gelatin silver prints. This is my go to paper for when I show my photographs in galleries. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars becuase many sheets have spots on them that I cannot use for final show prints. I sort them out and then use them for test prints. I have to admit that I’m a bit disappointed that a high quality and high priced paper would have so many sheets that have flaws.

I was able to take some photographs I took at a street fair and print them on this large size paper and I was amazed how professional they look framed and hung on my walls.

Scott Kelby recommended it and it’s one of the best recommendations he ever made. It’s a top-of-the-line paper.

I ordered this paper to print my photography. I am a student and not only was it shipped quickly, but it prints great on epson printers! I would definitely recommend this paper.

I am preparing for my first exhibition and my portfolio contains both black/white and color prints. Endless research kept me coming back to Epson Exhibition Fiber paper so that is what I ordered. Paper, like any other part of photography, is personal taste but when the first print starting rolling off my six year old Epson 3800 I could not beleive the color depth and sharpness of the prints. I am a generalist photography shooting Rudgy, dance, landscapes and portraits. No other paper that I have used before suits the type of work that I want to present. The semi gloss surface is exception in bringing out the saturation of the colors without the ever present glare that some papers offer. It also has the quality feel of the old darkroom papers that I used back in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Everyone that has seen and touched these prints comments on the quality, color and sharpness. It is expensive, but well worth the costs.

When looking at a finished print, it’s hard to tell the difference between the Epson paper and a silver print. It’s great stuff, but it loses one star because of its high price.

Epson’s Exhibition Fiber is really the top of the line for me when printing images on semi-gloss papers. I’ll use Epson’s Premium Luster when printing on a budget or perhaps with test prints, and use the Exhibition Fiber when I want the upmost quality with deep blacks and bright whites. It’s more delicate than Luster, so you do need to be careful in terms of not scratching an image or ensuring that dust isn’t present before printing, but it’s worth the extra care.

It doesn’t say on the box that this paper is intended to use omly for printers Epson Stylus Photo R2400 or better. Only after buying it and after reading instructions inside the box I found out that it is not intended for the Epson Stylus Photo R1900 printer.
