SUMMARY
Photography Life is testing numerous fine art papers on an Epson P7570 printer, chosen for its 12-color ink system. The goal is to identify a select few papers for a new fine-art printing service planned for launch in late July. Initial tests focused on eleven Epson paper types, including Ultra Premium Luster, Fine Art Velvet, and various Legacy and Hot/Cold Press options. While Epson offers quality papers, only a subset are expected to meet the service's standards.
