using art papers

2004-10-12 by laraley2001

Has anyone tried using some non-traditional art papers like Shushoku? 

It is a bright white, neutral pH paper that shows inclusions of shiny, rayon fibers. The web 
site says it is laser compatible and will accept all water-based medims. 

I have seen platinum contact prints done on it and they are gorgeous. 

I would like to put it through my 2200 or even my epson 1160. It is pretty thin but 
something could be affixed to it to go through the printer maybe?

Hi there everyone!
This is a very interesting and good topic, "non
traditional art papers", and I can actually offer a US
made product with fine art paper coating, 15 mil
thickness, brightwhite, substrait made out of spun
linnen, looks on the back like what Lara describes on
the other media, and rated over 100 years longivety.
Brand new product, comes in cut sheet 8.5x11 up to 50"
rolls. Low price due to low cost of  substrait
material. This is not a traditional paper, but has a
fine art feel and performance when printing. I have
just tested it and this is something uniqe on the
market. 50 sheets of letter size media is $25.00 
All standard photo sizes are available, and one of my
favorites are 20x24 cut sheets. 
I have profiles ready for it soon for those who wants
to test it. You cannot tear the material, and it is
waterfast, works with laser color printers as well,
and I have seen/made fantastic results. You can even
backlit this material if you prefer, in front of a
window or just display it traditionally front lit.

Pricing is almost done for all sizes and the material
is available. Epson, HP and Canon are the printers I
have tested it on, desktop and wide format, using OEM
settings and profiles.

Please contact me for more information at

I am located in Los Angeles.

Thank you!

Anders

The paper I am talking about can be seen here:

FNM=00&T1=202+545+001&UID=2004101121095207&UREQA=1&TRAN85=Y&GENP=

It is rather floppy, almost like cloth but not quite. the print I saw on it was simply 
gorgeous. The paper contributed to the already stunning photo making it unique.

Anyone tried papers that are not normally associated with ink jet printing?
