My very favorite paper. Takes color beautifully and results in museum quality photos

Better labeling

A favorite paper. Excellent quality. I have one issue. I wish the packaging and the paper more clearly identified the printable side Maybe watermark the backside of the sheets or label the plastic wrapping bag. Each sheet is too valuable, too expensive to waste even one sheet on a silly error

How long should the paper/ink last before any fading? Are we talking 75 years? 100 years?
Asked by: Michael
The Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper (13 x 19", 20 Sheets) is listed as an archival paper. The duration of its longevity depends on many variables. Pigment ink printers are better for the time frame than dye ink. And how it is displayed is also a factor. So using pigment inks, the range is 60-150 years.

I see that this paper contains OBA. Will the paper yellow over time? Is it considered an archival paper?
Asked by: Tod
OBAs are an effective solution for enhancing the whiteness of inkjet media, but they can also degrade the integrity and longevity of a fine art print by causing metamerism, which leads to color shifts, and by accelerating yellowing over time.

CAN we print text on the other side?
Asked by: François
I would think so, if just B&W? I’ve accidentally printed on it and the colors were off, but maybe a little text might work?
