epson radiant white watercolor paper

2005-01-22 by Marcus

I finally got a box of this stuff and I am amazed at the quality. Prints are nice and rich on 
this paper using my ut2 carbon pigment inks with my epson 1280. Several people have 
told me that the blacks did not print very good on it but they are nice and rich to my eye. 
Side by side comparison to the moab entrada shows to be nearly exact in tonality. This is 
definately going to ba a paper I add to my favorites. Especially since it only cost about 20 
bucks for 20 sheets. So cheap but yet the results are beautiful. And the paper is coated 
and seems to be a good choice for archival prints. The print quality is very similiar to the 
epson enhanced matte except that it has a bit of texture to it. I use the epson enhanced 
matte to print a test print and when it looks good I then print it on the radiant white.


Anyone else out there that loves this paper as much as I do. Im surprised I do not hear 
more people talk about this paper. Anyway, I just wanted to pass the info on to everyone 
in case someone is looking for a great paper at a great price.

Oh yeah and it works great with the curves that Paul has for the epson enhanced matte.
