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.

I use this paper to make artist proofs. It is very economical – about 50 cents per 13 x 19 sheet. Nowhere on the package does it state that the paper is archival or acid free so I assume it is neither archival or acid free. If I get a show/sell prints I will make the prints on archival acid free paper. But this paper is still a great bargain and the prints will probably last long enough for my purposes.

I use Epson EMP/UPPPM for test prints; test printing prior to printing on Epson Velvet Fine Art and other similarly toned/hued fine art papers; as well for making fine art print cards. Excellent results. I print with the Epson Stylus Pro 3800 with a workflow that includes BridgeCamera RawPhotoshopoutput to print. This box of 250 sheets is a very good value for the price at B&H.

This is a well made matte paper and at this quantity and price you can’t go wrong. Nothing extraordinary just a good product at a good price.

The paper makes very good prints, if you like Matt paper.

Not happy with print of photos. Almost impossible to tell which is the whiter side for printing. Won’t buy again.

I like this paper to make test prints before making final exhibition ready prints on more expensive matte papers.

In my opinion, I cannot see much difference between the matte paper and the canvas paper at a fraction of the cost.

I use this rugged, general-purpose paper for printing various large scale engineering and graphic design images, on a Epson Stylus Pro 3880. Quality is consistently excellent.

I use this paper for printing my photographic images. The paper provides a very nice matte finish with deeply saturated blacks and colors. The comparative price of the paper is very low considering the quality of the images and the paper itself. The only thing that might be argued about the paper is the archival standards, though at around 75 years it is far better for longevity than the old standard C-prints.

As good as any of the much more expensive big name brands.

My favorite matte paper for archival prints. A nice true white. Some other brands I’ve tried have a yellowish/ warm hue which alters the colors in my digital art prints. I wish Epson would make this thickness in 8×10 and 5×7, since i have to cut it down to those sizes.

I’m a working Artist. I’m also a Founding Member of two of the most important photography organizatons in Houston Texas. The Houston Center for Photography and PhotoForum at the Museum of Fine Arts,Houston. I’ve looked a lot photographs over the past 25 years. I’ve never seen any digital paper that compliments the image any better than Epson Ultra Premium Proesentation Paper (Enhanced Matt Paper). It’s consistant high quality and ease of use make it and ideal paper for all types of images.

I bought this paper for my Studio Photography class in college. It’s a great printing paper for black and white pictures and not-so-vivid color pictures. You need to have in mind when buying Matte Paper that your pictures will need some correction because of the brightness, or lack of brightness should I say, of the paper. It isn’t that difficult and the results are excellent. Great blacks and dark tones, perfect whites, accurate contrast. When using it with colors you should add some more saturation, but overall the results is really good as well. Epson Matte Paper is also better for exhibitions, it has no reflections whatsoever. Totally recommended.

Paper: I’ve had Epson printers for almost 2 decades now and I will always buy branded paper for the quality. This is my favorite paper to use for archival art prints. The velvety matte finish is lovely , and my prints come out crisp and vibrant. Shipping: I’m a little weary about ordering fine art papers online as I’ve had quite bad luck with the corners always being damaged. I tend to buy 13×19 and trim my own smaller prints to remedy that, but I was pleasantly surprised that I didn’t have to with this particular shipment. The shipping box was a little beat up (not surprised), but the paper package itself was protected with corner bumpers as well as cushion inside the shipment box. It’s my first time ordering paper from B&H though I have visited their flagship NY store before. This will definitely be my first stop for restocking supplies.

I use this paper for proofing exhibition quality black and white prints. These are 50MB files, with extraordinary detail and tonality. I have an aversion to throwing away a lot of rag paper – it’s such beautifully crafted stuff. And expensive. But this paper has everything I need to ensure the final print will be fantastic. It looks wonderful, until I then print onto the rag and put them side-by-side. I am using the UT14 inkset from Paul Roark, and these give much deeper blacks on a Moab Entrada. But the EEM is a great step in the journey

I use this for cards. Smooth matte on one side and not printable on the other. It is nice heavy paper that fits cards quite well. I pay about $9 per box and using Canon Pixma 9500 pigment printer.
