How does Epson Legacy fibre stack up against Epson Hot Press? … and Epson Legacy Platine against CANSON Platine?
Epson has a buy 2 get one box free with rebate on Legacy papers - which expires in 2 days.
Epson Legacy papers are simply Canson papers (re-branded). This is the first time Canson has ever private labeled their paper so it is a bit historic but Canson is in a transition now.
So, in short, you can use the following curves for “Legacy” papers:
Canson Platine : Legacy Platine
Canson Baryta Photographique : Legacy Baryta
Canson Edition Etching : Legacy Etching
Canson Rag Photographique : Legacy Fibre
Buying Canson will generally save you 10% to 15% in the long run as the Epson Legacy is generally sold at a mark-up.
Please keep this information within the private forum.

Absolutely. Thank you. The Epson rebate (three for the price of the two most expensive) makes it a good buy.
How is the Baryta Prestige fairing out? Is it going to replace the Baryta Photographique?
It’s a good paper. I think that the surface characteristics may change over the coming years. I think it bleeds a tiny bit with both Pro inks and Epson OEM so I’m working with Canson on fixing this issue.
best,
Walker
