Paper Choices
We have
decided to give our custmers a wide range of paper choices for each
image selected. Please note that in all paper choices, the resolution
of the image will be the same, since we print from the same image
sources. So your choice of paper will be governed by weight, thickness,
feel, and surface luster issues.
Also, all of our paper choices have greater than 100+ Archival UV fade-resistant ratings.
Premium Luster: We use Genuine Epson© Premium Photo Paper Luster. Designed with an incredible Dmax and vibrant color gamut, this semi-gloss, E surface, photographic paper produces vivid, lifelike images with incredible detail. This is the least expensive option, and is most suitable for prints that will be framed and matted behind glass. Or for prints that will be laminated.
Textured Fine Art: We use Genuine Epson© Cold Press Bright paper for this option. While the Smooth Fine Art has a soft, uniform surface, the Textured Fine Art has a slighlty
textured surface similar to watercolor paper. Astronomy prints look stunnning with this treatment. Cold Press has similar attributes to the Hot Press papers

It is the most expensive paper we offer. Exhibition Fiber Paper is a breakthrough paper, designed exclusively for use with Epson's UltraChrome K3 ink and was developed in collaboration with many of the industry's leading professional photographers to ensure it meets their most discerning requirements. Many who have contributed to the development of Exhibition Fiber Paper have commented that it not only reminds them of revered silver halide papers, but also offers greater creative control due to extraordinary D-Max and tonal transition and the ability to print extraordinary color..
