I bought a pack of this paper because it has a great reputation, and man, I wasn't disappointed! My style has always been high gloss and bright colors, but with this paper I've discovered a more subtle style I didn't know I had in me.
It produces the most vivid colors and highest contrast of any matte paper I've tried.
Great for black and white images.
Durable - No issues with loose fibers causing white spots in the finished image - something I've experienced with cotton rag papers.
Still it's matte, so it's somewhat susceptible to surface scuffs. More durable than Hahnemuhle Photo Rag, but not as scuff-resistant as Epson Premium Luster.

Interesting result.
Textured paper creates a more earthy look to the finished photograph.

Comments about Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper - 13x19" - 20 Sheets:
I use a Epson R2400 to print on Velvet Fine Art paper for resale. I find this paper's unique characteristic of high bright white base to give me color clarity my clients like.
I find it's high D-Max (contrast and rich blacks) that makes the image pop, while at the same time not losing detail on my moody, subtlely lit images. It's weight and instatnt drying ability makes post printing handling much easier.

We use this for customer reproduction as well as in house for creating high quality postcards, bookmarks, and invitations. The weight, brightness and size are great for our needs and it fits great in our EPSON R2880 and works great in the EPSON 9900 as well. This is a staple that we always keep on hand.

Comments about Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper - 13x19" - 20 Sheets:
I print on an Epson 2200. The Velvet gives me black and white prints with a large tonality range, and color prints have a 'painterly' feel. The paper surface is fragile, and must be handled with care.

This paper makes a simple photograph look as if it is a water color. The colors are bright and vibrant and surprisingly, despite the texture of the paper, no sharpness of the print is affected. Love the heaviness and feel of it. We are using this paper for most of our prints for a Photo show in a local Art gallery in the near future. Hope it generates great sales.

Comments about Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper - 13x19" - 20 Sheets:
Very nice mid-priced paper for fine art prints. I like the deep matte blacks and richness of color, this looks better than the price level. The textured surface enhances some of the more impressionistic, abstract landscape images I printed. It is too textured for portraits, however.

Comments about Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper - 13x19" - 20 Sheets:
I recently read a review of Velvet Fine Art by well known photographer Art Wolf. Where, he used a lot of adjectives to describe this paper. I too, would like to fill the page with a lot of adjectives but will instead just say that this is a wonderful paper for making B&W and Color fine art prints. The surface is a beautiful bright creamy white with a slightly textured surface.
I recently exhibited 15-13x19 color Fine Art Prints at a Baltimore gallery and convinced my co-exhibitor to use Velvet Fine Art as well. We have had very favorable comments about the prints from local and out of town visitors. They were using some of those adjectives that Art Wolf used to describe prints made with this paper.
As Nike says, "Just Do It." Make some prints for yourself and see how many adjectives will be used to describe your prints.
