| I have been taking photos since I was [...] and only recently began to take this once in a blue moon hobby to heart. I went out and bought a new digital camera, learned how to use that, and then invested in an Epson Stylus Photo R1800 printer. Although never trained, people say I have a good eye which I believe is true, or else I wouldn't bother. I had been printing my photos on the Epson Luster photo paper and was very happy with the results, but wanted something softer and more artsy for the photos I chose to convert to watercolors. I read the previous review on this type of paper and decided to give it a try. I am overwhelmed with the results. If you want good quality artistic photos, USE THIS PAPER. When they first print out they are somewhat disappointing, but low and behold, as the paper and ink mesh - all I can say is OMIGOD! Tremendous. Buy it try it. You'll love it and you'll end up signing up for the next art fair! |

| I do my own fine art prints and this paper works fantastic. I use the Epson 2200 and epson has custom settings built in already for this paper for maximum printing. Highly reccommended!!! |

| I bought this paper to make fine art reproductions using an Epson 4490 printer and it is just wonderful (both are actually). It is amazing how the quality of the paper imparts such a different look on the image. The resulting reproduction looked so much like the original watercolor that I worked from that I was amazed. I highly recommend this paper. |

| This paper is great! Colors were more vibrant and seem to "pop" a little more than other papers. This is a good paper for a more artistic look to your photos. |

This paper is fantastic. It brings out a depth that I don't see on other paper.
This review relates to the Epson 3800 |

| I use this paper to print digital fine art images. Combine it with fine tuning in photoshop (or not) and you'll have an incredible looking image that is definitely still photographic, but will have the feel of a water color print. It is a paper with a beautiful texture, but be forewarned not all printers will accept it due to size and thickness. Consult your printer's spec sheet to see if it will work for you. If it does, you'll end up with a softly textured image that will set it apart from just ordinary glossy photo paper results. |
Awesome paper!

I am a professional artist. I recently purchased a large format HP printer to print gallery quality art prints to sell on my website and at art shows. I bought this paper to use with an Epson printer, for obvious reasons, and by chance, I ended up with the HP version printer. Well, the paper works great with HP if you were wondering! The image is so beautiful on the paper and the paper is just lovely to touch!
Do pay close attention when you open the paper out of its plastic pouch which side is the front and which is the back. The difference is not obvious and the print will look faded on the wrong side. I made the mistake. It's too expensive of paper, to make it again!!
Otherwise, I absolutely love it! |
Excellent Quality

| Be aware, this paper is quite stiff--more like poster board. It works fine in my Canon MX9000Pro as this printer has a straight thru mode which doesn't require the paper to bend. You may have to experiment with the printer settings. I found "matte" to work OK not the "velvet art" setting Canon recommends. That said, it does allow excellent displayable art prints. |
