Luminous Landscape have reviewed the new Epson Exhibition Fiber Paper, which offers extraordinary blacks, clean whites and a surface texture that is just like a true black-and-white silver gelatin print.

“As soon as I started printing on it, I immediately noticed that all my prints looked significantly sharper, much more so than I had anticipated. I am sure that this is partly due to the smoothness of the surface, but I believe that there is something else at work here. The prints look as if the interaction of the inks with the coating is such that it produces a higher accutance than I have ever seen before in an inkjet print. This paper delivers without question a new and heretofore unseen level of sharpness and snap.”
