Epson Exhibition Fiber Paper is designed specifically for use with Epson's UltraChrome K3 ink and was developed in collaboration with many of the industry's leading professional photographers to ensure it meets their most discerning requirements.
This unique media offers the same deep blacks, subtle tonal gradations and long-lasting results as the darkroom papers of old. Its fiber base has a rich surface, a continuous tone and soft gloss that are ideal for creating stunning color or neutral black-and-white prints that retain the look and feel of traditional fiber paper.

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 17x22 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 exhibition paper, I wouldn't expect it to contain little black dots on each page. There aren't many, but if you look closely there are like 2 or 3 little black dots randomly appearing on each page.
We bought this for a class, where 3 other people bought the same paper from B&H; all of them had the dots.
However, it's still a good paper for proofing or portfolios if you don't mind the dots because of the price. I wouldn't show them in a gallery though.

Comments about Epson Exhibition Fiber Paper for Inkjet (17 x 22", C , 25 Sheets):
The shadows are so much better on EF. Really they are far more open and less blocky.
Just wish it wasn't so expensive!

Comments about Epson Exhibition Fiber Paper for Inkjet (17 x 22", C , 25 Sheets):
I am using the 17x22 paper to print a portfolio of black and white landscape photographs. I have used Ilford Gallerie Gold Fiber Silk for my previous projects which I find has a slightly warmer tone to it which the Epson does not. Both have the look and feel of traditional silver paper but the Epson not quite as much as the Ilford. The papers' tonal range is long and can handle subtle tonal changes. All in all a very good quality paper.

A premium luster paper with enough gloss to "look like a photo print" but with lower glare than hi gloss and a beautiful texture.

Comments about Epson Exhibition Fiber Paper for Inkjet (17 x 22", C , 25 Sheets):
It's a beautiful paper, but you have to handle it with such care, it's almost NOT worth it. It scraches if you take it out of the bag, touch the surface, or load it manually... it's very expensive to keep trying to get a perfect print with this paper.

Comments about Epson Exhibition Fiber Paper for Inkjet (17 x 22", C , 25 Sheets):
I print color photographs and this is the best paper I have ever used. Images are the sharpest I have ever seen them and the depth of color is extroadinary. The paper's finish can be easily scratched, so you have to be careful with it and keep it in the package it came in and then protect your prints when they are done. The thickness is quite good and reminds you of professional papers that were used for film printing. I used Epson's provided ICC profile on my Epson 3880 printer and the colors were very true.

Semi-pro photographer. Tried Exhibition Fiber paper and was blown away! Colors leap off the paper, and there's NO ink gloss variation, just a smooth and natural color transition. Once you see the results you won't use anything else. It has the look and feel of traditional darkroom prints, only better.

Epson's EFP is an excellent alternative to the silver gelatin hydride papers of the last century. Everything about it, the feel, the weight, the texture. all excellent.
Just a note your need to increase saturation by a minimum of 12% and also adjust paper thickness for the printer feeder to 13 ML.

Had some photographs of mine displayed at a NYC hotel recently in one of the rooms as a permanent collection. I wheat pasted this paper up on the walls of the room and it came out amazing. I am so happy with this paper.

Comments about Epson Exhibition Fiber Paper for Inkjet (17 x 22", C , 25 Sheets):
This has become my go-to paper for most of my work. It has the "feel that clients are looking for, while it displays colors in a rich, vibrant way. It's been perfect for wedding prints, exhibiting my personal work, and is affordable enough for me to keep my prices competitive.
There are a few times that Epson's Luster has yielded a slightly better result, but that has been exceptionally rare.
Honestly, I can't rate this high enough; if not because I like it, because the clients who pay me LOVE it.
Btw, it handles B&W as well as anything I've used yet on my 3880.

Comments about Epson Exhibition Fiber Paper for Inkjet (17 x 22", C , 25 Sheets):
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.

Use for color photography. Gives true, bright colors, good shadow detail.
The Epson icc profile is accurate.
One con: Why isn't this and other Epson paper available in 17x25 sheets?
I print mostly 16x20 & 16x24 prints on Epson stylus pro 3800. For the 16x24 prints I need to look elsewhere for suitable size paper of equal quality.

Epson's Exhibition Fiber Paper hits a home run! It renders deep, rich images in both color and monochrome. Images look so deep that I looked at them sideways to see if they actually had a third dimension! The paper renders excellent black and white images -- and captures a full range of grays. In general, excellent tonal quality. However, the paper tends to oversaturate orange tones, requiring the tweaking of images with strong orange tones

I normally use the pro luster paper, but this is even better. It's crisp and clear and shows incredible detail. I tried the fine art velvet paper too and I'm sure it's good for when deep blacks aren't needed, but for what I shoot (animals mostly) I much prefer the exhibition fiber paper.
