We have been long-time users of the Somerset Enhanced Velvet 225 cut sheets, mostly 17x22 inches in size. Our regular suppliers have stopped carrying this paper stock and I do notice you have it on your website for purchase at a much higher price than we used to pay. When I couldn't get that paper stock we switched to 17 inch 50' rolls of Somerset Enhanced Velvet 255.

My experience with this paper has been mixed and I find even though we are on a color calibrated system the black in the prints has to be pushed way beyond what looks reasonable on screen to achieve a good density. Is the basic formula for the Enhanced Velvet roll vs. cut sheet supposed to be the same? I never had this problem printing on the cut sheets. We have been through 4 rolls of paper and I have had similar results with all of it, having to overly correct the blacks to get a print that has decent contrast.

Hi Jeremy, The prices that you see on the moabpaper.com website are list prices, but you'll find much better pricing from one of our many Moab dealers.

The Somerset Enhanced Velvet coating is the same for both the sheet and roll products. However, Somerset introduced a new coating formulation with their Somerset Museum Rag papers. The new coating produces a much higher dMax. If you haven't tried this new(ish) paper, we'd be happy to send you a sample. Please send me an email with your shipping contact to marc@legionpaper.com.
