shefali a : Is it double sided ? Can i use it to print a book ?DEBBIE B : The paper is only one-sided with the whiter, smoother side being printable. The instructions that came in the package states "do not print on the non-printable side".JOHN E : No, it is definitely single sided.Peter L : It is a single sided paper and the best performance is on the front side. Epson does make a two sided paper, the name of which escapes me right now.CRAIG J : Hi Shefali, the Epson Radiant White matte art paper is printable on one sided only. It is not not meant for book printing unfortunately. I don't believe Epson makes an art paper that is two sided.SUSAN F : I accidentally printed on the back side the paper, the color is much muted, I think it is only coated one side.
However, it is very fine art paper, it has distinguished look, I printed pastel floral images on it, have the water color effect. color is beautiful.
Hope it helps.PAUL J : This paper is not double sided, so probably not appropriate for a book. It is best suited for archival fine art printing.DEBORAH B : No, it's not double-sided. Smooth side for printing, the backside is a bit bumpier. Sorry :-(BRIAN W : Sorry, but I haven't tried printing on both sides.CLARK W : Epson Radiant White Heavyweight Matte Watercolor Paper is single sided. This is a textured art paper. Epson offers a double sided matte paper with smooth surface.KENNETH A : no, it is single sidedROBERT R : It is not double sided and it is too heavy to fold. It will not work for printing a book.MANFRED S : Both sides have different texture and white values. The paper is rather thick for bending pages unless you use the entire page and binding one side externallyTIMLYN V : Yes you can print on both sides and it is opaque so printing a book is no problemARMIN S : No, it is not. One side is white and lightly textured, the other side is off-white and more fibrous in texture.Judith S : No, this isn't double sided. . .
J L : Can I use watercolor paints on top of a black & white image I print on the radiant white watercolor paper?
Thanks
J.L.JOHN P : I. Would think it might run.ROBERT R : Since the inks, including the blacks, are water soluble, the watercolor paints will interact with the black. It would be like producing a watercolor painting using only blacks and grays, letting it drying, then painting over it with colored water colors. If an interaction between the blackls and the colors is what you want, then yes. If you expect the blak image to remain unchanged while you apply the water colors, then no.M C : Don't know about that...have only used as printer paper. why not try it?DEBORAH B : Honestly, I'm not sure. I would think the paper's ability to soak up your watercolors would be somewhat compromised by having already soaked up ink from your printer. There are some paper companies that might offer you a trial pack of their papers, and if Adorama is willing, that's the way I'd go, I think. The other thing is - at $17 for 20 sheets, it's still a fairly inexpensive experiment. Hope this helps!BRIAN W : Sorry, I don't know
cheryl g : Will this paper work with laser printers?CAROL R : Cheryl, I have only usued this paper in an Epson printer. I would suggest you call Epson is great about answering such questions and if this paper isn't right for you they will make a suggestion as to what might work best.ROBERT R : I have used this paper a lot with an inkjet printer, but have not tried it with a laser printer. I suspect that it would not work in a laser printer. It is a fairly heavy paper, meaning that it could only go through a laser printer on a straight path and only if the laser printer could handle heavy paper. It has a textured matte surface that works well when the ink is sprayed on to it, as happens in an inkjet printer. A laser printer transfers color from a drum and that would tend to transfer more ink to the high points of the paper and less to the low points, giving a mottled appearance. However, as with anything, the only way to know for sure is to try it. The paper is 13x19 in size, which means it would only work in a laser prionter capable of handling such large paper.AVERY D : I woukd think it MIGHT work if it is not too thick to go through your printer... it works with either photo black and matte black ink... However laser printers I think are more like electrostatic copiers so I would ask the manufacture before trying it as the heat used in setting the ink might be a problem ...JOHN K : Even if Laser printer is large enough there is no benefit. Paper is desinged for a different kind ink.M C : I would check with epson. however as the name of the product says, this is an ink jet paper.CLARK W : This is a beautiful textured paper and works very well with my Epson 2880 printer. I have not tried it with a laser printer and can not advise if it will work with a laser printer. This paper is designed to work with inkjet and pigment ink printers.DAN B : No. It's specially made for inkjet only. You could try it, since it's not glossy and therefore wouldn't melt in the heat of a laser printer. But I wouldn't invest a lot of money only to find out you can't use it. Laser printers are fussy and you could really screw one up with the wrong media.TIMLYN V : Unfortunately it will not work with a laser printer, it has a treated surface that does not even like ink from a ballpoint pen. Works great with a good inkjet.DIANE T : I don't see why not, but I haven't tried it. I use it for fine art prints printed on the Epson 2200. Obviously you would have to cut it to size to fit a laser printer.RICHARD M : Probably not very well as this paper is specifically designed for ink-jet pigments/ink. It has a special texture and coating that really take advantage of high-end ink jets.
Hope this helps.JOEY C : I do not believe this paper will work for laser printers. laser printers use toner but this paper is formulated to work with pigment ink that is wet and sort of bleeds into the paper in an optimal way producing the wonderful results that it produces. You should probably only go with laser printer paper if you are printing color laser images.
