For only €1.99 I bought this cheap textured and thick aqurelle paper from Action (a discount shop all around Europe). It has a nice grain texture and a weight of 300 gsm, so very thick but can be easily printed in my Epson SC-P900 with very good results.....That is: I had to increase ink usage with +50% to obtain maximum depth/contrast.
I made a few prints on this picture and have a look at the texture and relatively good colour rendition. Shadows are printed very satisfactoryL
In the above picture you can see the leaves area has good contrast without being one unrecognizable black area that is associated with cheap papers, but this paper does a very nice job.
Above a reproduction of a picture of Hieronymus Bosch. The black border has a good contrast (setting: Brilliant Aquarelle paper, ink load: +50 %)
Above picture with a water colour image: good contrast and the print looks like it is made with genuine water colour, very nice indeed.
