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 24 x 30″ sheets.

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.

this is as close to you can get to fiber based photo paper- used the glossy profile and it was perfect- doesn’t have the glare of the glossy and luster papers and is nice to touch

Basically satisfactory printing effect.

Almost like a real photography paper.

Great for exhibition work.

I am using this paper mostly for my own personal work, black and white portraits. The contrast and tones are beautiful, it doesn’t feel quite as significant as a gloss darkroom paper, but it does have the same surface look and feel. I’ve had a test piece on my desk getting thrown around, touched and handled for a week and the image has stayed pristine and the paper itself hasn’t bent or torn.

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.

The paper has very good range, minimal bronzing and gloss differential.

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.

I make 22 x 28 prints on Exhibition fiber paper with an Epson 7880 inkjet printer.. Although the paper and resulting images are beautiful, often times the paper has some kind of fibers on it. Sometimes it has dust or even a small marking and even once a hair.These sheets I save to use as test prints because the paper is unreliable in printing. Also, the surface, once cured, scratches easily. Utmost care has to be taken while storing and framing.

This paper is beautiful, and the 13×19 sheets come well packaged so the corners are less likely to be damaged in shipping.

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.

The paper does not do flesh tones well. I printed the same photo with Epson’s Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster and it was far superior. The Exhibition Fiber Paper curls (by Epson’s own admission) in response to heat and humidity during the printing process. Other prints that I made at the same time with other papers did not curl at all. That said, for black and white prints, it showed great resolution and tonality.

Wonderful color and rich detail and textures.

Shows detail without the light reflective characteristics of glossy paper.

I used this to create an exhibit of my best Paris street photography–shot on film, scanned and printed on the Epson 9890. ‘ couldn’t be happier with the results; feels just like the best double-weight, fiber-based paper I ever used in the darkroom (I’ve been processing & printing my own work since 1972.). Bright whites, deepest blacks; photographs that almost glow. This is my second roll, and I look forward to adding several prints to my exhibit before school starts again in January. Not really a complaint: getting the finished print flat is a challenge–I suppose inevitable with paper this thick from a roll. Again, VERY like fine double-weight traditional printing paper! Epson, don’t stop making this stuff!

When Epson introduced K3 inks, I started using premium luster paper for black and white on my 4800. The look was great, but the paper was thin up close with window matting. Exhibition Fiber is the answer. Premium Luster look with Ilford Fiber Gloss feel. I still miss the fixer smell on my hands though.

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.

Wonderful for landscapes and portrait work. Great color gamut; heavy weight paper is actually easier to handle. Great price from B&H. Packed perfectly to protect edges; they know their business.

I’ve always enjoyed this paper in sheet format – great for color and B&W. However, I needed to print a 34 wide landscape photo with my Epson 3880. Although the 3880 does not have a paper roll feed mechanism, I was able to cut this roll and feed it through the sheet feeder. Works very well on the 3880 up to 34.7 width, without using RIP to go beyond that.
