Epson paper

[ignatiusjk]

Have any of you tried the Epson Exhibition fiber based paper yet,and if so what did you think. I am looking at trying some out but wanted some personal info before I tried it.I'm wondering if there is a difference between a color photo and a B&W. Let me know.

I tried one of the sample packs, I forget from which paper dealer. I very marginally preferred both the Harman Glossy FB Al and the Ilford Galerie Gold Silk over the Epson, but the differences were so minimal that I still decided to try some more Epson in the 8 1/2x11" size and see if my preference holds with more use and under more varied conditions. I thought all three papers were excellent (I wasn't crazy about the texture of the Hahnemuhle variety, so it lost out).
