- Which is the best paper for art prints? I compare glossy vs matte paper vs luster photo paper. I share the pros and cons of each, and my experience making art prints for the past 10 years as a full-time artist.
Paper glossy vs matte - there are clear advantages to each. I share my preference in the video, along with tips for making art prints at home. I review Epson ultra premium presentation paper matte, Epson premium presentation paper matte, Epson luster photo paper, and Epson glossy photo paper for making fine art prints.

I love that you’ve taken the time to explain this in such detail, with such spirit and energy - and in such a way that a total layman can comprehend it in one pass. Elite channel, new sub!🎉❤
Thank you so much! Glad it was helpful :-)
Great video. I absolutely adore Hahnemhule photo rag. More pricey but archival quality. No reflections, thick and it has a gorgeous texture 😍
I’ve heard great things about that brand, but haven’t tried it myself. Good to know!
Awesome information. Love that painting with the tree and bridge. So trippy. Keep up the great work. Mr. Samadhi ❤️
Thanks! The painting is called Return. It is loosely based on a bridge at a nearby walking trail that I walk on fairly often. It’s my surrealistic take on it anyway.
I´d say matt or semi matt (lustre as you call it), glossy will also cause reflections from sunlight or lighting
Yes, glossy definitely causes reflections from sunlight or lights. Luster has a reflection as well, but not quite as bad.
Love this information! Love your channel! I sell my fiber arts at crafts fairs but I also do watercolors and haven’t tried to sell them. Do you worry about people trying to make copies of your art to sell? Do you copyright your art?
I should make a video about this, because it's a big topic to discuss much more than a response comment. But I would like to say that people have stolen my art, both at art fairs by photographing it and then printing it out for themselves later, and over the Internet by downloading my images, removing the watermarks and printing them. It really sucks when this happens. But unfortunately, it's part of being an artist. People steal your art... I try to keep my head up and keep going and hope of that it won't happen anymore than it already has lol it's either that or hide my creations in a drawer or storage room never show anyone. And I think that I'd rather have people steal them, than never show anyone my work out of fear they might steal it..
@@KrystleColeArtThanks for the response. I can’t believe how bold people can be, but I love your approach and your attitude. Love your art!
@@KrystleColeArt Yes, theft sucks. I came up with an original design that I had printed on a t-shirt. I have a market stall where I had these t-shirts available for sale. After being distracted by something else, I turned around to see two people assisting each other to photograph one of my t-shirts (working together as a team.) And at another market, someone came up and positioned his camera super close to one of my photographic greeting cards and then walked off without saying a single word. Some people have a lot of nerve.
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I’m currently working on printing my own comic and I desperately need your help or advice. I’m struggling to decide what type of paper would be best for printing comics. My comic needs to be 6.75 x 10.25 inches, so I’m looking for larger paper sizes like 13 x 14, 13 x 19, or 11 x 17 that can be folded down to that size.
I don’t want the paper to be super glossy, but at the same time, I’d like to avoid regular, plain paper. Ideally, I’m looking for a paper that’s not too shiny, can be printed on both sides, and is perfect for comic book printing. If you have any recommendations or could guide me on the best type of paper to use, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you so much in advance! **i have Epson ET-15000
There is a double sided premium presentation paper matte by Epson that might work
What you recommended printing long bondpaper as picture?gloosy or matte?
I've never printed on bondpaper, so I'm unfamiliar with it
What is the maximum GSM of paper compatible with this printer? Can it handle watercolor paper?
Yes, you can print on watercolor paper on the Epson P900. You can print on posterboard, very thick papers. You can adjust the height of the print head and there are different sheet feeders on it to handle the thicker papers also. The downside of printing on a watercolor paper, though, is that your prints might look a little washed out. It's better to print on paper made for the printer. They do make very thick press and cold press papers they are made for printing. Printer paper has a specific coating on it that helps the ink match the print colors to your screen with the ICC profiles in Photoshop. Maybe that's too much detailed information, but basically, your prints will look a little more washed out on non-printer watercolor paper.
@@KrystleColeArt Thank you for taking the time to answer I really appreciate it
