Hello,

I am wondering if any of you can share examples of your photographic prints on Epson inkjet watercolor paper. I have a digital project in mind that I think might work great with this paper, but most of the examples I find are of paintings, drawings, etc. I am curious to see what an otherwise "straight" photo looks like on this paper.

Thanks in advance

You need to view actual prints up close. There are a lot of papers out there -- some natural, some with brighteners, and lots of different textures. The printer and ink set also make a difference. My advice is invest in a pack of paper and make some prints, or find someone locally who can show you some.

The printer is an Epson 3800. The paper is as named.

If anyone has examples, I'd enjoy seeing them.

What Phillip said. Looking a scans on the web doesn't cut it.

Epson as well as other paper brands have sample packs that contain a couple of sheets each of different papers. I would go that route. You can print the same image on a variety of papers for comparison without investing in full packages of any particular paper. The Epson sample pack for their Signature Worthy papers have two sheets each of seven different papers. Hahnemuhle, Inkpress, Moab and Innova also have sampler packs and maybe some others do .

I have already considered all options, and what I decided before I posted is that what I asked for will be of at least some benefit to me before spending money on paper and ink. I understand the limitations of Internet pictures. Thank you all for trying to save a lost soul, but all I really want/need is what I asked for three times politely. If you have it and want to share it, please contact me or post it. If you want to say anything else, I understand the urge, but please just send me a PM.
