For photographers who want a flat matte surface, Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte is a great choice with its bright whites and ability to preserve shadow detail. The alpha cellulose paper features a heavy basis weight of 192 gsm along with a thickness of 10.3 mil. Also, it has a high rated brightness of 104% that helps highlights look their best.
This paper is available here as a 50-pack of 8.5 x 11″ sheets.

Excellent paper with solid colors and a range of tonality that looks good from any lighting angle thanks to the flat matte surface. I wish the weight were a bit thicker, though. With an Epson 4900 the paper can get a bit saturated with darker prints, causing it to curl up in the middle of the paper.

I have been using the Epson Matt, Ultra Premium Presentation paper for years and I find it cosistantly good for my applications. I use it primarily for printing color photos of artwork for art class instruction and greeting cards at Christmas time.

This is my standby paper. It’s predictable and great to print on. I also use it for proofing when I print on Museo.

Great paper stock. There is always the concern that matte will knock down the quality of your colours quite a bit, but with this paper it maintained the hues quite well. Highly recommended.

I use this paper for work prints. It’s not gallery-level appearance, but it’s inexpensive and just fine for reviewing photos and trying out sequences.

I have Epson 3800 and was looking for Matte media. EMP was ok for color/matte prints, however the B&W shots came out too cold and dull. Next time I’m buying Velvet Matte (more $, but worth it).

Although I now use a canon printer this still remains my go to Matte paper for work prints. It’s cheap, well made and gets the job done.

Colors are accurate on this matte paper, however they lose one star due to unclean cut edges and paper debris in the package. James quite often with the Epson R3000 when loading 40 plus sheets at once.

I use this paper for work prints. They look surprisingly good given the price of the paper.

This paper is smooth, and absorbs ink very well to produce bright full colors. The only issue I have is that this is an off-white paper.

This product shipped very swiftly, with a great, affordable price! I’m a photo student and this is the first time I’ve experimented with matte paper and I absolutely love it! The look is soft and velvety, has no glares and it’s great for both color and black and white. I definitely recommend the ultra premium matte paper for fellow students and film photographers.

I used this paper to print my favorite photos from Alaska. The color and detail are excellent.

I’m in art school and am using Epson enhanced matte with my final project. It has such a nice textured smooth finish and produces rich blacks with matte black ink.

Cheap and looks good

For the price, this is an excellent matte finish paper. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a matte finish paper this is available at a reasonable price. It compares to other matte finish papers that are twice the price.

This is not paper. It is heavy card stock. My Epson WF-7720 was barely able to feed it. It is also not matte, but more glossy than I expected.

We use this paper for printing lower-priced giclee prints and for proofing before printing on more expensive paper. Since Epson changed the names of their papers (this used to be Enhance Matte) you have to be careful to order the right one. Got the wrong one last time. There are two grades of Presentation Paper, so be aware.

inexpensive photo paper. Clients seem to like it. It runs a bit cool.

I use it primarily for printing very old family photos..50-100 years old. It has no texture and I think I expected a little…but it’s good quality paper and serves its purpose well.

Excellent paper for printing landscapes, etc. Bright with good opacity.
