Enhanced Somerset Velvet Fine Art Paper

Canson Infinity Enhanced Somerset Velvet Fine Art Paper provides a classic fine-art presence to giclée prints. Manufactured at St Cuthberts Mill in England, this paper boasts a unique mould-made quality dating back to the 1700s. Its softly textured matte surface exudes elegance and a handmade feel. The natural white tone, free of OBA chemicals, ensures vibrant color depth and consistent contrast. Artists frequently choose this paper for reproducing open editions and gallery exhibitions due to its sophisticated texture, affordability, and exceptional performance. Enhanced Somerset series has three paper option: Satin (less texture), Velvet Fine Art (Classic), and Watercolor (more texture). Artists can easily switch between these paper without worrying color output.

Color Profile

• We need RGB image data because we handle color far beyond generic CMYK color space
• Check your system / app settings, use "Adobe RGB 1998" (Adobe RGB) or "Apple RGB" (DCI P3) while working on your art.
• Export print files with embed profiles. 
• Do NOT use and embed generic CMYK (SWOP, GraCol, Fogra etc.), except "PrintWide2020" profile.

To prevent unwanted color shift. Please ensure you have embedded the correct profile; this helps us a lot while managing color.
