What's in a name
If you are selling art to galleries, the name of the paper can be important. 'Staples Jetlag Bright' does not carry the cache of say Arches Velin Museum Rag or Hahnemuhle Museum Etching - no matter how good your sales patter is! Artists and art dealers know their papers.

Epson's tripple-coated Signature Worthy range of fine art papers are their most expensive papers. RIGHT: Deterioration in the fluorescence activity of the OBA causes the paper to fade back to base yellow. The indicated area between the yellow arrows has been exposed to daylight during storage and has almost stopped its brightening activity - in daylight it was yellowed.

HISTORY
Some quotes from A 15-Year History of Digital Printing Technology and Print Permanence in the Evolution of Digital Fine Art Photography - From 1991 to 2006 by Henry Wilhelm

Digital printing of fine art photographs - and a broad-based concern about the permanence of digital prints - can be traced to the founding of Nash Editions in Manhattan Beach, California, in 1991.

For use by the art reproduction market, which for various reasons often felt uncomfortable with telling customers they were buying inkjet prints, Jack Duganne coined the name 'Giclee' for inkjet prints as an analogous term to 'Serigraph'. The introduction of the Epson Stylus Pro 7500 (24-inch) and 9500 (44-inch) pigmented ink printers in 2000 started a period of rapid change in the fine art printing business.

One can cite the 1994 introduction of the Epson Stylus Colour 720 dpi printer - which came to market only five years after the Iris 3047 became available - as the start of low-cost inkjet photo printing. Quite suddenly, Epson found itself in the photography business.

But beginning with the Epson UltraChrome pigmented ink set introduced in 2002 with the Epson 9600 printer, these problems started to be resolved...
