Product Information
Somerset has always been the first paper choice among serious artists
and printmakers. Ever since the 1700s and the days of handmade
paper, Somerset has enjoyed a reputation for quality that has
continued to grow through the years. Now Epson brings you this old
world paper, with an ink jet coating, to meet the quality requirements
of the most demanding printmaker. Somerset Velvet for Epson is a
100% cotton, acid-free paper that delivers long-lasting prints when
printed with EPSON Archival
™
or UltraChrome
™
Ink.
Like all of Epson's innovative media, Somerset Velvet is engineered to
give you the highest resolution and color saturation possible. Epson's
printer driver software actually optimizes the amount of ink released
onto the page, based on the type of paper used. As always, EPSON
supplies guarantee EPSON quality.
