Tom,

Epson Velvet Fine Art paper has the same coating as EEM.  This is 
not true of Epson's Somerset Velvet (I haven't tried this paper 
myself.).  If you are printing with the Epson 2200 using Ultrachrome 
inks and ImagePrint and you like the strong Dmax (close to 1.8) on 
EEM, you will get the same on EVFA.  If you print on PhotoRag, Dmax 
drops to around 1.63. I don't know what you get on Epson's Somerset 
Velvet, but if it is the same as Somerset Photo Enhanced Velvet, 
Dmax is about 1.6.....I have tried this paper.

some of the Epson branded Somerset Velvet and haven't opened it 
yet.  Do you happen to know how Epson's Somerset Velvet differs from 
Velvet Fine Art?
