Epson Signature Worthy Papers

Hello friends! This week I'm bringing important information about Epson Signature Worthy Papers and I hope it will help you choose the right paper for your next Fine Art project. These cotton-based photographic papers are the finest in the market and deserve serious consideration when searching for the right media.

The line's Signature Worthy, carries more meaning than just a brand name. When a professional photographer signs a print he is doing far more than writing his name at the bottom of the frame. With the signature the artist is declaring that the print was produced using the best available technology and that the printer, ink and media employed matched perfectly to create a piece of art that, in turn, becomes a tangible Value.

When dealing with fine art we have to keep in mind that the print is what actually sells, shows the image, lasts decades and gets put on the wall. That's why the choice of paper becomes so important.  Epson's Signature Worthy papers use cotton as their supporting base which confers that incredible texture that is recognized by the world's greatest artists. They come in five different types: Hot Press Bright, Hot Press Natural, Cold Press Bright, Cold Press Natural and Velvet Fine Art.

Hot Press Bright paper produces fantastic results both in B&W and Color. Photographers claim that for the first time they can have real blacks plus the whole range of grays. The colors are rich with smooth tonal transitions.  The combination of texture and image creates prints with a unique "feel", depth and richness.

Hot Press Natural paper has the same characteristics of the Bright type with an off-white tone that makes it feel more organic and ideal for skin tones. Both papers are thick and feel different than other media when they are held, in fact most photographers agree that many customers are sold once the actually feel the print in their hands and realize the real value they are getting.

Cold Press Bright paper transmits a new energy to the prints with excellent variations of skin tones too.  They help connect the viewer to the image in an almost magic way. Together with the Cold Press Natural they convert a print into a collectible piece of art. Images come alive showing textures, colors and shades that stand out.

Velvet Fine Art papers bring an almost tactile presence to the prints. Their inherent lack of surface reflection makes them the ideal choice for images that look like paintings and a new dimension of photography printing is available. Photos that actually look like xerography are possible with this great media.

The Signature Worthy Papers by Epson come in a wide variety of sizes and formats ranging from the classic 8.5"x11" Sheets all the way to 60" wide Rolls. Give us a call or visit our show room and we will be glad to give you more specific advice about these products.

Thank you very much for reading!

how can i have a framed sketch identified, without removing the frame which is obscuring the artists signature

this sketch is 50cm x 40cm, has a scalloped frame with what looks like a pencil and ash portrait of 2 cockatoos sitting on a branch. it is black and white exept for a yellow comb. the sketch was bought around 1935. there is a label on the rear with "kunsthandel gebroeders koch" from holland on the rear

You cannot identify the artist with certainty without unframing the piece. If you are concerned about damage, take it to a framer to do the work. It wont cost much.
