Re: Epson Prem Semigloss v Luster

2007-01-17 by Scott Jones

Hi There,

EPSG has no optical brighteners and has a smoother surface (not as 
stipply or star like when seen with glancing light). EPL has optical 
brighteners and has a grittier surface. I prefer the EPSG because the 
surface is less obtrusive and there are no optical brighteners to 
fade. It is my favorite paper and I use it for both color and B&W. It 
dry mounts very well and has a wonderful d-max. I hope that helps you.
