Comments by Outback Print Editors

Jack Flesher

My standard photo surface paper.  Renders prints with exceptional detail and sharpness, as well as offers a very broad color gamut.  I print both color and B&W prints on this paper and like the results for each.  One thing worth noting is the paper is slightly less glossy than Epson’s own K3 inks, and thus any paper white may be too prominent if the print is viewed at an angle. To alleviate this, I pull my maximum white point down about 7 points to prevent paper white from showing through anywhere in the final print.
