Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Paper MATTE (8.5x11 Inches, 50 Sheets) (S041341),White

This paper looks and feels NICE. I use it to print some of my artwork (casually, not commercially) and people have remarked how nice the print quality is, even though i’m not using that high quality of a printer. I think the paper - more than the ink - is what makes a print feel high quality. The only downside is that I only print a few sheets at a time, so it always takes me a few seconds to figure out which side is the top side because they look so similar. I recommend marking the bag so you don’t have to carefully examine the two sides of the paper over and over.

I do my own prints in color and BW from travels to some 70 countries we have visited with lots of photographs from each trip. The Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Paper is not photographic quality paper but I use this Presentation Paper for the research papers I write and present to third parties. It is an excellent paper for this purpose and gives far better resolution and color than ordinary printing paper.

Works well with my epson printer for presentation copy. Nice thickness

This paper is definitely worth choosing. Images print beautifully on it. The only thing I don’t really like is that you have to pay close attention to which side should be printed on.

The Epson papers are always the safest bet for use with Epson color printers because of the built-in color/calibration support for all of their papers, and the Epson Ultra Premium papers never fail to disappoint me. Until recently the only matte paper I had used (on a 3880 at school) was some Premium Matte (the "non Ultra" version) that my teacher was handing out for free, and I was a bit disappointed with the density of both the black and colored print. I was much happier with the Ultra Premium Matte. At home I'm using an Epson R3000 (which uses the same UltraChrome K3 inks as the 3880s at school) with the Ultra Premium Gloss, Luster, and recently the Matte, and when I compare the same photo printed on both Ultra Premium Gloss and Ultra Premium Matte it's very difficult to tell the difference in color saturation and black density. Really I see no difference in very saturated colors, and the darkest black parts of the image are only very slightly lighter on the matte paper. (My guess is that most people wouldn't notice, but I'm a photography student and so I'm used to looking at minor details.) The only color difference I really notice, at least with this photograph, is that in the dark areas (shade) under some trees where there are some very very dark green colors the gloss shows more color differentiation (and thus more detail) than the matte. This would appear to be an example of the expected difference in color gamut between glossy and matte paper in general, and again you'd probably have to be a color zealot like me to really notice in this photo. Also, not everyone realizes this so I figure I'll mention it: When printing photos on ink jet printers, papers are not just completely interchangeable the way most laser printer papers or papers for B&W ink jet printing are. "Office" papers may be mostly the same, but with photo papers your printer/driver/software need to "know" how to print on them properly. Otherwise you may end up with a mess, figuratively or even literally. At best the colors will look wrong, and at worst the printer will lay down so much ink that it'll smear all over and never dry properly. So unless you're somewhat of an expert with ink jet printing, you should use the paper supplied by your printer's manufacturer. Some papers will never work on some printers, regardless of configuration expertise, simply due to ink type. So, in short, this paper is good stuff. While it is possible to get third-party papers that are better than this, or as good but less expensive, the Epson Ultra Premium papers are very good quality and guaranteed to work properly on compatible Epson printers with no hassle. (If you buy 3rd party papers then you're going to need to mess with ICC profiles and possibly paper thickness or ink density adjustments.) So when you want very high quality paper that works properly on Epson printers with no tinkering around or color profiling needed, the Epson Ultra Premium papers are the ones to use. The Ultra Premium Matte is just as high quality the Ultra Premium glossy and luster.

I love the results of this paper with my new Epson ET-8500 photo printer. But the instruction sheet's fine print is rather disturbing. The unused media must be sealed up and stored away in a cool place. It must not be exposed to light due to discoloration danger. The finished (printed) media must either be stored similarly, or, if displayed then must be mounted behind UV-absorbent glass in a sealed frame. I made conventional B&W prints as well as Cibachrome color prints for a number of years. Obviously, the unexposed media must be kept in total darkness. However, the finished product stands up to ordinary display quite well. So, modern digital media has taken us a step backward.

Paper is great. Works very well for text and graphics using regular paper feed. Doesn't curl. Wasn't pleased to unexpectedly receive two open boxes.

I found this paper to be the best printer paper I have used. At first I was questioning the ability of my Epson Printer to produce a clear and vibrant color print. I initially went with a cheaper off brand version and the prints were terrible for color. I finally ordered one pack of this paper and it was a gamer changer in terms of clarity and color. It comes in gloss or Matte but Matte if definitely my go too. It is compatible for all printers but I have an Epson so I went with this one. I also love the weight of the paper. It is not to thin and not too thick, pretty much the right weight which prevents the saturation of color from showing through the back side. I now order this paper consistently and always have extras on hand. It's easy to use and the price is great for 100 sheets.

Excelente

I am disappointed with the packaging. Mine arrived with the corners crumpled, which affected the paper corners. If the corners were reinforced, then that would have helped. And it is difficult to tell if one side is white or off-white. Is this meant to be double-sided as another reviewer alluded? As for print quality.... now I know why it is called 'PRESENTATION' paper instead of 'PHOTO' paper. I think I was misled by the image of the sail boat in the front. Were you misled by it too?

The photo quality paper is 100% quality. However it was packaged in soft materials. It arrived with paper corners all screwed up, and predictably. Why can't some people use common sense!!!!! SR

Not much more than one sided. No worries which way to load

Wonito material y textura al imprimir foticos ;D
