matte finish

Anyone thinking about using an inkjet printer for photography must try this paper. I do fine art photography and my own darkroom work in medium format. I just purchased the Epson 1270 printer and have been using this heavy weight paper with eye opening results. This paper is pure white and used with the new inks in the 870 and 1270 printers has a fade resistant life of over 26 years. This paper has the look of a fine art Ilford or Kodak N surface...And best of all ..the price is hard to beat !

I have a Canon S820 photo printer (2400X1200 dpi) and a Canon Powershot A40 2mp digital camera (1600 X 1200 max resolution). I bought a package of 120 8 1/2 X 11 Epson Glossy Photo Paper ... on 17-Jul-03. What a great deal, and the prints are excellent coming out of the Canon printer. I was a bit hesitant at first with the brand crossing, but I read a couple reviews here that said they work great with the Canon S800 printer so I took a chance... Super impressed and highly recommend for any Epson printers (which should work fine, I'm sure), or the Canon S820.

As a professional photographer, I've tested many different types of paper and Epson's Premium Line is by far the best. Everyone who sees the results (printed on the Epson 870/1270) can't believe it. The look and feel is the same as a photograph. The only way you'd know it was printed on an inkjet is by looking at the back to see the 'Epson' watermark.

Epson also produces the Premium Luster (an "E" surface or matte paper) and Premium Semi-Gloss Papers. They are all great papers, but the Premium Glossy affords the most contrast (which is to be expected from a glossy paper).

To lenghten this paper's longevity we reccomend displaying behind glass or keeping the prints in sheet protectors where the print doesn't have contact with the air. Under those conditions it will last a long time without a noticeable change--probably years, if not longer, according to Epson
