Epson Watermark Photo Paper Question, Help Please
Hello,
I recently purchased a photo and was wondering about the time period of the watermark on the back. It says, "EPSON PHOTO PAPER" I darken the contrast so you can see it better...  Original photo without the contrast:  Thank you!

I went to school for photography and, at the time, the only papers available for darkroom printing were Ilford and Kodak brands. I'm 99% sure that Epson Photo Papers have only been used for inkjet printing.

It's easier to comment if you reveal what is on the front. If it's a Babe Ruth photo, it's a reprint because the Epson brand name was coined in 1975. As mentioned, Epson is a digital printing company, and that branding would have to be pretty modern.
If it's a modern image on front, that more research would be necessary to pin point. But, when asked authenticity questions, I like all the info given, not just part and I'm supposed to take a wild guess who might or might not be on front. Last edited by drcy; 03-02-2015 at 09:24 PM.

As mentioned the name Epson was first coined in 1975, so that's all the info you need. Epson was a brand name of the Seiko corporation, Seiko famous both for watches and computer printers. Epson literally translates to 'Son of Electronic Printer (EP)," with the brand name originally coined for a second generation electronic printer of Seiko's.
