Epson Ultra Premium Photo Paper LUSTER (13x19 Inches, 50 Sheets) (S041407),White

I've been using the Epson Ultra Premium luster and glossy paper for quite some time on my Stylus R3000, and it's become my standard "just works" paper for when I want near maximum-quality photo paper with a standard finish that "just works" with my printer without messing with ICC profiles or advanced printer settings. I've only recently gotten around to printing anything this large on photo paper though.This larger sized paper seems to be no different in quality than the smaller cuts with the same product name. Because of this I'd recommend going though at least 50 sheets of 8.5x11 or even 4x6 of the same type to become familiar with what it looks like before dropping the cash for large sizes like this, but if you're already familiar with smaller Ultra Premium Luster then you know what you're going to get with this stuff.Other papers out there by companies like Red River are nicer in various ways, and less expensive per square inch, but at the very least they're going to require their own ICC profiles and possibly printer setting tweaking. If you need to just show up at some place where there's an Epson printer or othetrwise can't get full control of the printing process due to lack of time or whatever, the Epson Ultra Premium papers are always the thing to use when you need the best quality output possible without any special configuration or calibration.

Great product! Expensive but totally worth it! Every print had vibrant colors, no bleeding and the paper has a good thickness. Perfect for my 13x19 posters I made of my art. Will be purchasing again!Only problem i had was setting up my printer to 13x19 not knowing that A3 is the function you choose for the size setting. Quick Google search helped me out.

Earlier versions of Epson inks and luster papers had a tendency to exhibit some bronzing in darker areas, but that seems to have gone away at least with the UltraChrome pigment inks. The prints I get are quite presentable, as it were, right up there with what I got from commercial labs back in the day. Printing from Photoshop using the Epson profile and turning the driver color controls off seems to work the best. YMMV

Prints look like they are back lit like a computer screen. I have a lot of prints I’ve made over the years but, when I place prints on luster paper among them they look like they’re spot lit and glow making the others look dull.

Have done a number of prints on this paper, and it's fantastic. You have to have a high quality image to start with when you print things out this large. Many of our photos had filters applied that lowered the quality so much they did not print well at this size. But if you start with a high quality image the results are great.

I am a Fine Art Photographer and offer prints for sale online and in local stores. I use an Epson R1900 Printer and I am nothing but impressed with the Epson line of photo papers. And the "Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster" is top of the line for beautiful prints every time!! Detail is sharp and colors are deep. The paper itself has a heavy, professional feel as you would expect from a name like "Ultra Premium." Fast drying and smudge free, but be sure to follow the recommended dry time and procedures for best results before framing. Great product!!!

I'm pretty pleased with this paper. Recently bought an Epson Stylus Photo R2880 and I can definitely show my work with pride on this paper. I've only used it for printing some of my highly saturated fine art photography works and it shows well.

I have used the whole line of Epson Premium papers and the Luster finish is my favorite. Using an Epson 1270 for years I was able to create high quality prints reliably and repeatedly. I recently upgraded to an Epson R1800, the print quality is now identical to conventional photo prints. Actually, since I hated darkroom dodging and burning sessions, my digital prints are vastly improved over their conventional counterparts due to the ease with witch proofs can be made. With the new R1800 prints come out instantly dry and beautiful.This is the paper that allows you to have a true home print lab.Price is the only drawback. (Sheets are cheaper than rolls.)
