The fine art papers, released at photokina 2018, are tailored to work with Epson’s SureColor SC-P and Stylus Pro printers and with the various generations of Epson UltraChrome inks.
“The new fine art papers boast an improved colour gamut and have achieved the 60 year or better archival requirement of its Digigraphie standard for top quality work,” said an Epson press release.
“The 100% cotton, acid-free buffered paper comes with either a smooth hot press or textured cold press surface that gives the papers a luxurious feel. Natural white or bright white versions will be available with immediate effect and are supplied in 300gsm weights.”
The new papers have been extensively tested and are tailored to work with Epson’s SureColor SC-P and Stylus Pro printers and with the various generations of Epson UltraChrome inks.
Epson says the results with SureColor SC-P printers in particular offer an expanded gamut compared to the previous generation of cold press and hot press papers.
“Users will benefit from the ICC profiles and settings incorporated into the drivers of SC-P series printers which make working with the papers very easy and controllable. The additions offer improved colour density for deep rich colour reproduction and excellent black rendering. The smooth surface is ideal for photographic images and the soft textured option adds interest and depth to fine art reproductions. The natural white option lends itself to great skin tone imagery.”
The papers will be available in roll and sheet formats, covering the range from 17 inch to 64 inch for rolls and A4 through to A2 sizes for sheets.
There are Epson branded versions (250gsm) of the following media, available in a range of widths: SureLab Pro-S Paper Glossy, SureLab Pro-S Paper Luster, SureLab Pro Paper Glossy 250, SureLab Pro Paper Luster 250.
