Title: Epson vs HP papers
Post by: bluebird on April 26, 2009, 04:48:15 pm

I have just purchased a HP Z3200 printer.  As a long time Epson user going back to the 1270 and currently using a 7800 I am pretty familiar with the Epson Papers.  I was wondering if someone who has used both Epson and HP media can give me some idea how some HP papers compare with Epson.  For example what HP paper would be the closest in appearance to Epson Premium Luster?   Or What HP paper would be the closest to Ultra Premium Presentation Matte?  And finally how does the HP Baryta paper compare with Ilford gold fiber silk and the Hahnemuhle fine art Baryta?  If anyone has a link to an article about this topic please pass it on, I searched and couldn’t really find anything.

Dont have my swatch book in front of me But HP Premimium Phot Satin Is Simular to Epson Luster..

Don't belive they Have the matte  Like EEM

As for HP Baryta, Ilford Silk, and hahnemuhle Fine Art Baryta They all have a very simular coating are a tad different in weight and color
all have the same base..

Isn't that Matte Litho-realistic but 270 grams instead of the 200 of EEM ?

Anyway HP has several documents on what media presets to use for third party papers and how to profile them. That will also guide you to equivalent HP papers the other way around. The Wiki space may not be up to date on all documents but gives a fast overview:

I have reported a few non-scientific observations on this forum which you may find helpful.
