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 use this paper when making my fine art photographic prints. It has a soft gloss which I like over their Velvet fine art paper.

B&H knows their stuff. My paper order arrived in excellent shape and on time. The three large, heavy boxes of paper were well protected, wrapped in an inner container. Exhibition Fiber is Epson’s finest quality paper for printing color or B&W photographs. The price was right and the current buy 3 pay for 2 rebate makes it a deal you can’t pass up.

I love this paper, plain and simple. The thickness of the paper is perfect and the finish is absolutely stunning. One issue with this paper is that it is much thicker than standard paper so setting up a printer platten gap every time and switching back and forth can be a pain. it is defiantly a plus to have one printer dedicated to printing this thicker paper if possible, although not many of us have that option. The other problem i have noticed is that the finish does scratch and show the scratches very easily, so take care of your prints and everything will be great. Overall i am very pleased with this paper and have purchased multiple boxes since the first purchase.

I use this paper with my epson 3880. For me its the perfect compromise between color gamut and fine art fiber feel. Its soft gloss gives deeper blacks than ultrasmooth, velvet or other fine art papers.

I use Epson Fiber for B&W and color printing. I find it is well suited for color more so than B&W. I use Canson baryta photographique for all of my B&W printing. It has better tones and a overall better fiber look than the Epson. With that said I do like the weight of the Epson and the dmax is very good. My issue with this paper is two fold. First it is a tad to glossy for my liking and secondly it is a bit too white. All in all a very good paper and one you should have on hand. But there are better papers out there for B&W printing.

The surface is as advertised. It looks like double-weight glossy, dried face-up. Finished prints lay flat too.

I have used this paper for months at photo school. I was using the 8×11.5 but recently started printing larger. It has really great tones and looks glorious. Very vivid professional results with this paper.

I’ve been a photographer for better than 40 years and printed in the darkroom until making the total conversion to digital about 10 years ago. I’ve printed b&w, C-prints, R-prints, Cibachrome, Agfa and Kodak transfer, Polaroid and even learned Dye Transfer printing. I’ve tried many, many fine-art, double-weight, matt-dry glossy papers. Each time I do, I’ve never been satisfied until I tried the Epson Exhibition Fiber Paper and I haven’t looked back. Images printed using my 3880 and 9900 Epson printers just can’t be beat, even better than when I did dye transfer on double-weight glossy paper. It prints well, the blacks are rich, the whites are better than all but Cibachrome Glossy. The prints stay pretty flat for museum mounting without having to de-curl the prints. For my portfolio and highest-quality images and when I’m printing for a museum or gallery show, there’s not much better than the Exhibition Fiber paper! Though it’s higher in cost than Epson Premium Luster, prints simply have a nicer feel and richer look, weather b&w, toned b&w or color.

It is the only paper I use for my digital prints. The colors are truthful and the prints look rich. Your prices are the best and the shipping is free and prompt.

This paper is outstanding for its professional weight, brilliance and ability to display blacks and grays reminiscent of the early days of the old masters. Colors are vibrant and the F surface lends itself perfectly for displaying the delicate nuances of all of Epson’s K3 inks.

I love this paper. It’s now my go to paper for almost all prints. I’ve used canson baryta, harman fb al, museo silver rag, ilford smooth pearl, and all of epson’s line. They all have their strengths for different images, but I always seem to come back to EEF. Very versatile stuff with good weight and feel. Colors jump off the paper and B&W prints look spectacular. Much more palatable after the price drop, before it was fairly cost prohibitive. I’m gonna buy more when a sale comes up. The only con is you have to be really careful to get all fibers off the printable side or you might end up with a white spec if that fiber falls off after printing.

excellent product. Superb Dmax

Great thickness, easy to load. Nice tones without much adjustment. Only question is the archivalness…. Feels just like traditional silver paper

I print color images for gallery presentation and find color rendition to be of consistent high fidelity image after image. Careful handling with gloves prevents surface scratching, which has been to be the only problem with this exceptional paper.

I was having some issues with a third-party paper in my SCP-800 so I tried the Epson product and am happy to say it worked very well. Nice, bright whites and good density; the prints resemble silver prints on air-dried glossy fiber paper. But that’s the whole point, isn’t it?

This is an excellent paper. Sturdy. Lies flat. Sharp, crisp bw and good intermediate tonality. All at a good price.

The paper produces great blacks! Really good quality paper to create b&w images.

I’ve been seduced by the bloggers to try the next best paper…the perfect baryta…the perfect paper, over and over again. I always come back to Exhibition Fiber for my glossy go-to paper. My Epson 7900 loves it and it loves my Epson 7900, my clients love it, my wife loves it. ’nuff said. Try it you’ll like it. Oh yes, it is very white. If you don’t like very white don’t get it. I like very white.
