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 100-pack of 13 x 19″ sheets.

This is a great heavyweight matte paper, which I use for photographs and other graphics. I am a mixed media artist as well as a photographer and make altered books, collages, greeting cards, and so forth, and this paper is great for anything that I print on my computer and then use in artwork. I probably use 200 to 300 sheets of it in a year’s time.

I needed a 13 x 19 50 sheet package at the lowest possible price and found Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte. It got me through the rush. It is a fine quality paper at 10 mil but is not acid-free, archival paper, which I need. I will have to run the images through the printer again at a later date on a finer, heavier (300 +) archival matte but for my needs at the time, this paper worked very well and I recommend that you definitely buy a package because it will not be wasted. If it is not as thick as you like this makes a great first draft. I will give the images I made on this paper as gifts, the paper is that good. I am an artist and prefer heavier.

Gives a nice muted tone to the picture and produces no glare.

The paper seems to be undamaged even though B&H packaging sucks.

B & H had my favorite Epson photo paper, at a competitive price and their prompt delivery of the paper was very impressive! I had it in hand within just a few days, and it was exactly the paper that I ordered. I would definitely do business with B & H again!

A photographer friend gave me a few pieces of this paper to try and I loved it SO much I purchased some of my own. The prints have a lovely depth and richness to them! It is a wonderful fine art medium.

This matte paper has a nice weight. My photographs always look great printed on my Canon printer.

This is my go to matte paper for everyday printing. But it is also suitable for framed fine-art images. It is too light weight to be considered a true fine-art paper, but behind glass and up on a wall it is virtually impossible to distinguish from many other more expensive smooth white matte papers. Blacks are quite deep for a matte paper. This paper is capable of producing very vivid colors. To my eyes, the paper contains OBA’s, which I consider a negative. At 10 mils thick and 192 g per square meter, stiffness and heft is only adequate in 8 1/2 x 11 and smaller sheets. It is a bit light for larger sheets unless framed.

This paper prints very well on Epson printers. In general my images came out sharp. My printer (Epson 7600) printed the blacks a bit too dark, so I lightened the image in photoshop. Other that that I am satisfied with this paper. It’s good quality, economical paper.

I bought this to experiment with larger matte prints on new 3880 printer. It’s working for that. It’s high quality. It is not terribly bright, but Epson’s ICC profiles let me soft proof in PhotoShop and adjust image before printing for best effect. I could not find ISO brightness documented on Epson’s website nor in box. This product is fine for prints not requiring bright highlights; vivid colors can be had through soft adjustments to image prior to printing (use soft proofing with paper color ON), but gamut suffers slightly at the bright/vivid end. Feeds perfectly in Epson 3880 auto sheet feeder.

Great paper!

Very excellent quality paper for those times when you do not want luster or glossy. Gives very highly saturated colors with excellent detail. Does just what it says it does.

My go-to paper for archival prints that will hang on the wall is Epson Legacy Fibre. I tested a half dozen Epson papers and found Legacy Fibre to be the preferred paper for color and black and white prints in blind selections by three people. I use it for proofs and final when I am making prints that will be displayed. However, it is expensive and has to be fed one sheet at a time. Therefore, I bought the Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte to use for proof prints when I am working Blurb and MagCloud books and magazines. It is an excellent paper for that use. It runs through the top feeder of my Epson P800 printer. It produces a reasonably good quality print on medium weight paper that holds up to being moved around on the pinboard that I use to set up sequences; and it is relatively inexpensive. I would not use it for display prints. Legacy Fibre remains my choice for those. For bulk prints, though, this is now my paper of choice.

It adds a new dimension to my printing. Best thing is the overall cost. It is about l/3 the cost of gloss paper.

I get great deep color when using this paper along with my Epson printer.

I have been using this paper for several years and wouldn’t use anything else. It is sturdy and produces great colors.

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.
