I use a great deal of Epson Velvet Fine Art paper: I doubt you will get the type of fine art results you are seeking with the Staples paper not saying it's bad paper, but just not appropriate for your needs.Īnything that says, gloss, semi-gloss or satin will not give you the desired flat mat appearance you seek. This is wonderful paper, almost giving your fine art prints a watercolor type appearance. And it will soak up ink like a sponge, so be prepared to have cartridges on hand. I have printed, matted and framed many 13x19 pictures with this paper for exhibits and love the results.
It is not cheap, but your printer should already have the profile for it and the results will be top notch, predictable and repeatable.Īs Rene suggests, Red River, and Hahnemühle make excellent products but you will have to experiment and load the correct printing profiles into your printer. You are correct about Epson testing their papers for durablility.Īrtists Archives of the Western Reserve - Board Cheap paper usually = poor/unrealable results with questionable longevity. If you want to delve into this "seriously" then follow the steps described, you'll want a calibrated monitor, research the available papers that have profiles for your printer, get sample packs and run tests, and go for it. If you aren't prepared for such a color-managed approach, well, if it were me I'd get some 8.5x11 Epson paper, one that comes closest to what you want (matte) that is also available in the 13x19 size. If it's not acceptable, at least you know! I don't have Epson so can't give suggestions there, but if all you can get is a semi-gloss or Satin or whatever, give it a try and show it to your clients, and if it's acceptable, well, go for the 13x19.
