RE: Epson Velvet Fine Art (was: EAM turns yellow!_

2003-09-01 by Alessandro Pardi

Ron,
 
just to make sure: are you using the same ICC profile for the two papers or you print on each paper with its own profile? I ask this because I print with curves (the excellent Randall workflow), and therefore a different paper would mean tweaking the curves (unless it takes the same profile).
BTW, in a post dated Oct, 12 ("New Epson Velvet Papers"), Robert Morrison talked about a 40 years longevity rating published by Epson for this paper. If this is true, then we probably need to look elsewhere for a true archival paper.

Alessandro,

Yes, prints on EEM and EVFA are nearly identical.  I am using the 
standard Ultrachrome inks on the Epson 2200.  For printing I am 
using ImagePrint 5.5 available from www.colorbytesoftware.com. So, I 
do all my general printing and proofing on EEM and make my fine art 
prints on EVFA.

When printing with ImagePrint, I am using their furnished ICC paper 
profiles. 

I do find that prints made on EVFA paper using the above method seem 
to have more "depth" than when printed on EAM/EEM.
