A perfect matte paper for my photos

By Daniel
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-09-01

I've fallen in love with this paper! A friend of mine had a few extra sheets and let me try them on my Epson P800 and the results were so pleasing, I bought a package. Then another. I've tried rags and other mattes from all the other major and not-so-major brands, but this paper has the weight and texture that I love, and the colors are rich and vivid. For my underwater figure photography, nothing looks so immediate, painterly and tactile. So it's now my go-to when I'm not printing with a baryta.

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?

question

When using Epson's Velvet Fine Art Paper how do you tell which side to print on?
Asked by: Lloyd
I always leave the paper right side up. I know some customers say you can feel the difference, but I have never been able to notice much difference until I print it on the wrong side. If you print on the wrong side, the colors are very faded.
