Matte paper suggestions please
Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2012 10:09 am
I will be printing many repros of watercolor and oil paintings for an artist and she wants them to all be in the 16"x20" size range on matte paper. I typically print on either luster or satin papers, so this will be my first attempt at printing matte finishes. I use a Epson 4880 that has 17" roll capabilities, and I always use rolls as they are a little more economical in the long run.
She has had previous prints done for her and Epson Enhanced Matte paper was used, and she was happy with this paper's results. I guess I could just continue to use the Epson paper, but maybe there's a comparable alternative out there that's better? I just looked at Red River's Aurora Fine Art Natural (and Aurora Fine Art White), and they both looked interesting. I'm certainly not opposed to using sheets either if someone prefers a different paper that doesn't come in a roll.
Thanks in advance for your help!
