What is the difference between the weight and the thickness of this paper?

The weight (2.) indicates paper density per square metre, while thickness ensures durability and feel. Heavier papers generally offer better colour saturation and are more resistant to creasing.

Is this paper suitable for framing fine art prints?

Acid-free cotton rag papers like Somerset Velvet are specifically designed for archival fine art prints. They resist yellowing and fading over decades, making them ideal for gallery and museum-quality work.

Can I use this paper in an office laser printer or only inkjet?

This Epson paper is optimized for inkjet printing. Laser printers generate heat that can damage specialty fine art and photo papers. Always verify compatibility with your specific printer type before purchasing.

How should I store this paper to preserve its quality?

Store paper rolls and sheets in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and humidity fluctuations. Ideally maintain 40-50% relative humidity to prevent warping or curling before use.

What is the surface finish, and how does it affect the final print?

The velvet finish on this paper provides a subtle, non-reflective surface that enhances tonal depth and reduces glare. This is preferred for fine art, black-and-white photography, and detailed color work.

Will prints on this paper curl or wrinkle after printing?

High-quality fine art papers like Somerset Velvet are engineered to minimize curl. Allow prints to dry flat for several hours after printing, and store in a dry environment to maintain their integrity.
