Papers and how to choose the right one in TP / PF
Posted: Sat Jun 28, 2025 4:40 pm
Hello,
Which paper class to choose for my “Brilliant papers”
I’m use several “Brilliant” Papers I think they are from German origin. And sold by Calumet. https://www.brilliantpaper.eu/
They have economic versions and ‘museum’ high class fine art papers. The museum papers are all 300gr/m2 and according the manufacturer I have to choose glossy or Matt papers.
But your manual is not so clear!
Here is an example from your PF manual.
The following types of paper can be selected:
* Plain paper for normal paper, e.g. copy paper / (color-) laser paper
* Matte inkjet paper for matte coated inkjet paper (not for satin / semimatte photo paper)
* Glossy paper for high quality photo papers (glossy, semi-matte / semi-glossy satin or pearl), use this setting also for FineArt Baryta
* Transparency for projectors, film for silk screen exposure
* Fine Art paper thick, matte paper often with a rough texture like rag or canvas (not for satin / semimatte Fine Art paper like Baryta)
* Other paper for a paper that does not match any choice above
Now I’m confused!
Two of the ‘museum’ papers named ‘Brilliant Satin Matt’ (White / Natural). And the manufacturer states to choose for ‘Matt’ paper!
On my Epson I can choose ‘fine art Matt’ and I know that the Matt black inkt is used.
When I look at your list. I can’t choose any of the ‘Matt’ or fine art papers list! Because al your ‘Matt’ options ruled out ‘satin matt’
The Satin Matt paper from Brilliant is very heavy 300 g/m2 and have a typical rough Finish.
So what paper to choose? And be sure the right Matt black inkt cartridge is used?
I have the Epson SC-P900.
