Re: Epson Exhibition Fiber - A Review

2008-02-12 by pglombick

"I made test with the Ilford and hahnemuhle baryta papers And I´m soooo 
disappointed. somebody knows if Epson plan to make the same EF paper in 
bigger sizes?, or any possible replacement?"

----------------------------------------------------

I'm interested in why you are disasppointed in the HM Baryta. I have 
tried it and Epson EFP paper and found them to be pretty similar 
overall. The HM Baryta has a slightly higher sheen under direct light 
that can be distracting from certain angles and slightly more texture, 
but I found the dmax, sharpness, and shadow highlights to be pretty 
similar. Perhaps we are looking for different things. The Epson is 
pretty bright overall (which I like), but both are definitely not what 
I would call warm papers.

The cost of the Epson EFP is pretty prohibitive. For that price, it had 
better be a wonder paper. I had yet to try Harmon gloss and some of the 
lower-priced alternatives.
