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.

Here is the paper of the traditional darkroom user’s dream. As a long time creator of darkrom prints I have been looking for an inkjet paper that would parallel the best wet paper processes. I look for a good fiber paper which has a solid feel. Epson Exhibition Fiber effectively reaches that standard and, in my opinion, even surpasses it. The surface recalls that of a fine fiber double weight glossy paper after it was washed, fixed, and air dried. It reproduces tonalities well, whether producing color or black and white prints. I especially like the 17×22 size since it is sturdy enough to take handling, despite its size, during the printer processing, without fear of damaging the surface. All in all, this Epson paper is capable of producing a print of exhibition quality. As a long time profesional photographer and former professor in the photography department of a New York State university, I back up my statement with years of experience. Finally, compared to other premium fiber papers being offered, I think it is very competitively priced at B&H.

For those familiar with ‘traditional’ dark-room printing, this paper reminds me of a pearl type finish. It was a bit glossy for my taste but I usually print on Moab Entrada (a matte paper). Dmax seems quite good (no measurement taken).

I can’t believe how close to real darkroom paper this looks. It has just enough gloss to look like fiber paper. I compared it to the Ilford Gold Silk paper and it is much better quality! I guess that’s why it costs twice as much!

I read many reviews where people were receiving paper that had little black specks on them which resulted in flawed prints. The 2 boxes that I received were flawless and I am very happy with the resulting prints. The thickness, feel and look will cause me to never buy luster paper again.

Very nice paper, using it for B&W fine prints, and have never had a problem.

I use this size for test prints.

very high quality. The larger size is useful for stiff posterboard-like uses. Excellent for any use; I use ultra premium luster for most of my photo printing.

Of the 22 papers that I have tried with my Epson 3880 printer this is the one that is my primary choice for almost all of my images. Results are predictable and never disappointing.; they glow in the dark.

Like the finish and weight, general feel of paper. Prints are beautiful. Be sure you do some proof prints before committing this expensive paper to ink.

I have been fully pleased with this paper since I first started using it. Print quality is superb on my Epson printers (2400, 7800) and it lays flat. Hopefully the price will flatten out a bit at some point.

The slight sheen & weight make this paper feel & produce like standard darkroom paper.

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.

i’m having an exhibition this month and i was able to try this paper. i’ve used hannemles and other fancy ones, also the epson ultrapremium luster: this epson fiber is the best paper for price & quality. hannemules are often very delicate, they tend to scratch so easily. and the ultrapremium epson paper is a dog in comparison, it’s all plastic, also too glossy for my taste. great 13x 19 prints with an epson r2400. i’m so happy.

I’ve been really happy with the Epson Exhibition Fiber Papers of all sizes. I have used it for nature and portrait photography and I have been quite pleased with the results. I don’t do much landscape work, but I think the paper would show well in that application as well. I print almost mostly on Epson printerss (a 2400 and a 3880) and have used the paper for B&W, as wall as color printing. These papers have been extremely consistent for me, providing very reproducible colors from print to print, and from box to box. The weight and texture of the paper make it ideal for most of my printing needs, and the price is very reasonable, given the quality of the product.

A bright luster brings out the near hidden nuances of a black and white photo print.
