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.

This is a very nice paper. I have only used it with an Epson 3800 in black & white, but it produces very satisfying black & white prints. It has no distracting texture, and has a nice weight. Harmon Gloss FB seems to have more gloss but the surface is very easy to scratch. There is no bronzing and it has very deep blacks.

Very nice semi gloss which I use to render back some of the brilliance fond in digital imagery. Great blacks for BW and nice colors , also archival enough ! Delivered with box protective corners .

Using for photo exhibition. Prints lower contrast than what you see on your screen. Blacks tend to be somewhat muddy. But fixable with greater contrast and color saturation than you might see as normal. Perfect weight and surface for exhibition. Mounted and under glass blacks appear deeper.

This is my favorite paper. The color reproduction is beautiful. The weight of the paper makes it lay very flat, great for mounting. The surface reminds of the old black and white glossy paper we would dry without glossing. If you like Epson’s luster, you will love Exhibition Fiber.

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.

This is a thick paper with a solid feel and nice texture — much better than Lustre. Without a doubt it is Epson’s finest paper ever manufactured. I viewed several prints made with an Epson 9900 and this paper that were beyond description. They were that great! The sharp tones and brilliant colors are terrific. As for this paper being similar to that of papers used by wet darkroom owners, I highly disagree on this point. I had a darkroom for many years. Exhibition Fiber Paper is absolutely nothing at all like the papers I used in that environment. This is not a shortcoming. It is just an observation. Exhibition Fiber Paper is a marvelous product on its own basis.

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.

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.

I love this paper. I printed my black and white images for an exhibit on this. They look stunning on this paper!

I have completed a series of in-depth printing tests on this paper compared to Moab’s Lasal Exhibition Luster 300 (which has been my choice for years). After creating calibrations for both papers, and printing uncorrected test files, the additional depth and internal contrast of the Epson paper is easy to see–in B&W and color. This is all the more surprising when you set the sheets of paper next to each other, because the Moab paper clearly has a brighter base white. I would certainly recommend it.

This paper yields the closest result to Ilford Multigrade fiber base silver gelatin I’ve ever used.

Its been a while from the last time i made prints in my dark room. This paper has the feel of the fiber based paper i used in the dark room the finish is compaired to an air dried fiber base paper the thickness also resembles it this is a nice paper which i feel has captured the look and feel of those great dark room fiber base papers

Great color and DMax range…great images…

A great weight, but looks pretty much like the high end luster paper. Very nice tones, but not as quite a luminous a surface as I’d like. I guess nothing really can replace traditional color prints…

I’d read many positive reviews but never had printed on Epson Exhibition Fiber paper. I’ve made one print on this paper so far. That’s enough. I’m sold . . . this an exceptional product. In the past Epson Luster has been my workhorse paper, and I’ll no doubt continue to print on that fine paper. Exhibition Fiber has a comparable surface but is a heavier paper and should mount beautifully on foam board. Also, the B & H service, as always, was exceptional. Paper deliveries from other sources have sometimes included packages with bumped/damaged corners, which ruined the shipment. B & H packaged my 16 x 20 Exhibition Fiber paper in a huge, heavy cardboard box, with a generous amount of bubble wrap. It arrived in pristine condition. Thanks B & H. I appreciate your attention to detail as well as speed.

Use for color photography. Gives true, bright colors, good shadow detail. The Epson icc profile is accurate. One con: Why isn’t this and other Epson paper available in 17×25 sheets? I print mostly 16×20 & 16×24 prints on Epson stylus pro 3800. For the 16×24 prints I need to look elsewhere for suitable size paper of equal quality.
