PPD 25 Sheets 8.5x11" Fine Art Inkjet Paper Printable Velvet Etching Fine

I am using these for my art prints and love the texture and feel of the paper!

My prints of my paintings look great.

Paper is perfect for art prints. It has become my favorite. The only negative thing I have to say is that the corners of the item need to be covered because Amazon likes to ship paper in the bags and not boxes, so the corners tend to be bent or damaged. It’s unfortunate because it happened to half of the stack.

I expect a velvet texture. Texture is more embossed.

This works wonderfully with my new Epson ET-2800! I love the texture and weight! The colors come through beautifully! I will say that the corners were damaged on delivery, so it may not be ideal for edge to edge printing. I am using it to create 8x10 and smaller prints that I am trimming as I go.

At first it was a little difficult figuring out which side to print on, because both sides have texture - but I quickly realized my mistake! If you print on the wrong side, your prints will come out dark and muddy. But once I had it figured out I was so impressed by how my prints came out on this paper. It adds such a subtle, but gorgeous texture to my digital prints.

This item was shipped in a paper envelope with no protection to prevent damage. The paper was purchased to for prints that would be sold. Waste of time and money. It’s unfortunate that the manufacturer didn’t protect the product with better packaging. Will be requesting refund since this is t useful to anyone trying to create prints for projects, gifts or sale.

This paper does make vivid color prints. And since it's very matte, the prints appear detailed and are glare-free. Some things you should know about: - It's thick paper. It might not run well through some inkjet printers. I had success by stacking some regular printer paper behind it in the feed tray. - Some minor streaking from the inkjet printer head passes is visible on the print. I was using a standard printer, not a photo printer, so your results may vary. - There is a good side and not-as-good side with this paper. It's easy to tell the difference once you make a test print: the good side is much more colorful. Unfortunately both sides pretty much feel the same, and there's no watermark on the paper to identify the back. So I think the thing to do is to remember which way they're stacked in the original package---which, by the way, is just a transparent plastic sleeve with a cover page and a cardstock backing. I'm going to go ahead and give it five stars because the printed colors are vivid, and I think a photo printer might yield even better results.
