Epson premium lustre photo paper

This is the greatest paper I have ever used. The pictures could not be better if printed professionally. Along with my Epson R220 printer, the combination is perfect.

The best paper: just wait 24 hours

2008-02-10
I've tried all the major premium papers (not the specialty papers like watercolor or canvas styled ones), and I keep looking for a paper that has the subtly and fineness of color, range, and clarity of this paper, so I can save money. But I still can't find one. One proviso, you must wait 24 hours after your print comes out of your printer before handling the finished product. It might look great and 'touchable', but it takes about 24 hours for the chemical reaction to fully bring out the full tonal qualities. Print, admire, put it in a safe place for a day, then look at the results. If you can find a truly comparable paper, let me know.

Best Photo paper

I do a lot of scrapbooking and this is the best paper I have found to give me consistant color. I still use an Epson 1280 and they work very well together.

This paper is great for reproducing digital images both color and black and white. The surface is in between a glossy and a matte finish. I have not had any problems with color reproduction on the paper or problems with the color fading. It does have benefits over the matte finish, it does not scratch like the matte finish and there is more definition in the image. The paper is a good buy if you want high quality archival prints at a low cost. I use an epson printer so I can not personally say how it works with other printer profiles but I do know that people have had success using other printers other than epson with this paper. There is one concern that I have noticed and that is if you store your prints anywhere where they could be exposed to high heat make sure that the images do not touch if they are stacked. I have not had any prints ruined but I have noticed that they will stick together slightly.

Great paper

Used this for printing passport photos. Even my Dutch passport photo was accepted. (The Dutch gov't recently made photo rules extremely strict, I was the first at the consulate who had photos that were actually correct on the first try.)

Beautiful paper for any type of print using the R1800

Another excellent Epson paper

2008-07-18
I have an Epson R-380 high definition printer with Claria inks and the best paper that I've found for it is the Ultra Premium Photo Paper Glossy, which is by far the best photo paper that's I've ever used on that printer. I've also had excellent results with the Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte. It's interesting but I recently tried some Kodak Premium Photo Paper Matte and it might be an excellent paper on another printer, on the Epson, produced extremely small horizontal lines. Barely noticeable but definitely there. With the Epson matte paper, these line completely disappeared and the results were near perfection.

I've had such great results with these papers that I decided to try the Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster and all I can say is that I'm definitely adding it to my papers. I run a small business selling photo prints and cards and use different papers. The finish is determined by the photo. Some just call out for high gloss, while others require a different surface.

The luster finish is sort of a cross between matte and glossy and is similar to the ilford pearl paper but holds the Epson inks a bit better. It's a beautiful surface and is a pleasure to look at. It's actually luxurious.

Between these three Epson papers, I have it all covered. The choice in photo paper makes all the difference in the world to the serious photographer. Not so much if you're just printing snapshots. This review is aimed at those who want professional photo lab results at home.

The Epson R-380 printer as well as these three papers provide the best results. Since I'm actually selling these prints, I'm not as interested in keeping the costs of printing down as I am in the results.

Even a few years ago, who would have thought that this level of excellence was possible with home inkjet printing? I now have a full color photo lab right in my office.

The package came in very bad shape -- it looked very beat up. I almost returned it without opening it. However, when I did open the package, the paper was in excellent shape. Yes, I would buy this product again.
