I was given a pack of Velvet Fine Art Paper. Because of its relatively high surface texture, I set it aside thinking the texture was going to get in the way of the image. I was low on other papers and thought I’d give VFAP a try. My first print completely changed my mind. For color landscape and black & white fine art images, it high on my paper list. I’ve used everything I was given and purchased more.
I have been using this paper for over 10 years to print my black and white infrared photographs. For me, a glossy sheen would be a distraction from the subtlety of nature that I am trying to share in my images. Epson's Velvet Fine Art paper works well for my purposes. It is a bright white, neutral, no warm tones, and looks like a beautiful sheet of printmaking paper. It performs well with a strong range of grays as well as those sometimes elusive blacks. I have been using it all of these years with an Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer. B&H always has what I need in stock, and since I live in Connecticut, I often get it the next day or two! Hard to get that kind of service from other retailers! (I live in a very RURAL part of CT).
