It\u2019s changed my entire thinking about printing my favorite photos and I\u2019m printing using specialty papers I never even tried before.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Epson specialty papers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Epson Exhibition Watercolor Textured is an acid-free, 100% cotton rag paper that makes any photo look like a fine piece of art.\u00a0 The textured surface of the paper does not detract from the sharpness of the image, like I feared it might, but rather gives it that Old World, hand-crafted paper look.\u00a0 It\u2019s also sturdy enough that once printed, you can immediately lean it up against the wall and it doesn\u2019t sag or slide down like a typical sheet of paper would.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t suggest long-term display without a frame, but to do a quick redecorate, it\u2019s ideal.<\/p>\n<p>Epson Metallic Photo Paper \u2013 Glossy and Luster \u2013 was another paper that blew me away.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve got some tack sharp images that you want to show off to their best effect, this is the paper to use.\u00a0 The metallic paper highlights the color range and provides maximum depth to your image. Colors look rich and vibrant with a luxurious shine you won\u2019t get on plain white photo glossy paper.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Epson Print Layout software<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The P400 is also made to work with Epson\u2019s recently updated and free Epson Print Layout software. \u00a0While many people invest great sums of money for Photoshop, many more people are still using less expensive options and\/or freeware for their photo editing.\u00a0 With the newest version of Epson Print Layout, everyone will want to check out this new package. Photoshop users can even use it directly from Photoshop by selecting File -&gt; Automate -&gt; Epson Print Layout.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32917 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Epson-Print-Loyout-software-1200px-900x506.png?resize=900%2C506\" alt=\"Epson Print Layout software\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Epson-Print-Loyout-software-1200px.png?resize=900%2C506&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Epson-Print-Loyout-software-1200px.png?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Epson-Print-Loyout-software-1200px.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Epson-Print-Loyout-software-1200px.png?resize=768%2C431&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Epson-Print-Loyout-software-1200px.png?resize=1080%2C607&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Epson-Print-Loyout-software-1200px.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is loaded with print drivers for all the Epson specialty papers and a simple drop-down menu will immediately select the best options, so your prints come out right the first time.
