I'm working on my Fine Arts degree and have finally made it to some classes where I get access to neat toys. I'm doing dark room enlargements and using large format Epson printers.

So far I've done 8x10 pearl sheets and 11x14 satin sheets for enlargements in the darkroom. I absolutely love the film process, I had never shot or processed film in my life prior to this.

For printing of my digital images I've gotten up to doing 13x19 Velvet Fine Art paper and the quality is just bonkers. I've been slowly getting into framing and matting things, but drat can frames start to set you back some money.

Being in the darkroom is rad and good. We have a specific darkroom thread if you have any questions: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3938540&pagenumber=2&perpage=40

Neat, thank you!

I use Epson Hot Press Natural, which is warmish, but try the Bright version of the hot press - https://epson.ca/For-Work/Paper/Pro-Imaging/Hot-Press-Bright-Paper/m/S042336

The hot press is pretty smooth but there's a subtle texture to it that I like.

Hot press Bright is ridiculous. My studio professor brought in a roll and said I could print whatever. The colors are so deeply saturated (good thing). But I should have toned down the exposure a tad, it is very bright.
