Review Summary
The Premier Imaging Velvet BW Fine Art Paper is a Bright White paper made from a soft press mould that provides a subtle texture to the paper that enhances the image, giving your prints a fine art look. The bright white base provides excellent D-Max and an expanded color gamut, extending the tonal range of the paper.
This paper is ideally suited for black and white printing, as the paper retains the shadow detail as well as the highlights, while maintaining its velvet look and feel. This paper is naturally acid and lignin-free and is buffered for added stability. The high resolution coating is also acid-free, ensuring the longevity of the paper. Velvet BW comes on a professional grade 300 g base, suitable for both rolls and sheets.
Velvet BW is compatible with both matte black and photo black inks. Print Shield may be used with this paper to reduce the scuffing associated with matte black ink. When used with the popular long life pigmented inks on the market today, this 100% cotton paper will last for many generations under proper display conditions.
This paper has been engineered to be extremely stable. From the mould made 100% cotton base, to the alkaline buffering that meets the Library of Congress criteria for archival papers, to the acid-free coating. PremierArt is bringing permanence to the digital world. Velvet BW is currently being tested by Wilhelm Imaging Research. Although no ratings are yet available, previous PremierArt papers using the same technology scored extremely well in WIR testing.
For the longest lasting image, the print should be either framed under glass or sealed with a protective coating. PremierArt Print Shield has been formulated especially for PremierArt papers and will increase the life on the image significantly, while protecting the print from scuffing and other physical abrasions. Print Shield has been tested by WIR and has been shown to significantly increase the Image Permanence Ratings of some tested media.
