[EPSON] Profoto Thick Slight Glossy Choice

Subtle luster

Epson handles a wide variety of glossy paper types.

If you have no printing experience, you may be at a loss as to "I don't know which paper to choose."

“Easy to see” is one of the most important factors.

Being “easy to see” may help viewers feel something more concrete, and may expand their imagination.

In the Profoto series, the thick gloss and thick texture are so popular that there are not many opportunities to choose them.

I feel like it's a waste even though I have great potential.

I will continue to spread the word so that more people will know about it. smile
