I use the Ultra Premium to print my Landscape and Nature photography. I love the detail you’re able to show with it and the longevity of prints. Plenty of room for multiple images too. I have been using this paper for years now and just got their printer that can handle the larger size. So far I can’t find any inssues with it.

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

Good value for price/100 sheets. Very thin paper for proofing images or printing text. Excellent large size for preliminary drafts.

Use this product in the production of my rodeo prints supplied to my customers. I like the surface and the bright white of the base as well as the color produced in conjunction with my Epson 2400 printer.

I make custom note cards and I use this paper. I compete in a Photo Club and use this paper for my 12×18 prints–I love the rich deep colors.

I used Epson Premium Luster and Glossy for quite a while but never happy with the surface/ink combination. Dark and black ink did not match the shiny-ness of the paper. I’d always used Agfa Brovira and Portriga rapid–air dried when I was making silver gelatine black and white prints. The surface of Premium Luster was the closest digital medium, but the inconsistent reflectivity led me to using Matte. Combined with matte black ink color images are nice and saturated, maybe not as crisp color contrast as Luster or Glossy but very good. Black and white photos I scan using 16-bit RGB. In Photoshop I either use the red channel, desaturated, (which has a similar effect of a red filter on camera lens using b&w film) or desaturate the RGB combined. That is the way to utilize the light black ink in the Stylus Photo 2200, which gives a much longer tonal scale than when selecting Black Ink in the print settings. I like the results of B&W on Matte paper using RGB/16-bit. It’s also easy to tone the desaturated image using Photoshop filters at low %, either sepia or warming 85a/b. I can get a Portriga Rapid warm tone this way.The question not answered on the package or anywhere on Epson’s website: Is Ultra Premium Presentation Matte acid free?

This is the best paper for showing off prints on my nikon d 300 period. The colors and intensity match the screen and wear best in all kinds of light I’ve used it with large Epsom printers for five years. I hope they keep making it for years Rl. Santa Fe nm

I used this for my photo assignment at university and it printed in really nice quality. However I since this was my first time printing high quality pictures (RAW pictures from a Nikon D40) I didn’t realize how matte matte would be. In a way this paper is similar to really fine grained cardstock, as a result some of my pictures came out looking flat. The colors are also more muted than I thought they would be (due to the flatness). Also, the front of the paper is the side that is a bit more white, the back is a tad bit yellow.For matte paper, this is really good and high quality, dried quickly and doesn’t smear (no fingerprints!). If you’re looking for nice matte paper, this is great. It was also a lot cheaper than the stuff at my local @ and came with free shipping which was really convenient!

I get good results with this paper–one thing I don’t like is that the color of the pper itself seems to vary from batch to batch–it’s siubtle, not enough to stop using it, but it’s a shortcoming.

Excellent. Exceptional customer service.

I bought the paper for use with the Epson 4800 series printer that i use at college. Paper holds the ink beautifully, with nor smudging or leaking through the back of the paper when used for fine printing settings.

I use this to print fine art prints and this is by far the best standard matte paper. It should be noted, if you are looking for exceptional art paper, this is not it. However, this paper prints well and can’t be beat for the price.

exactly what we needed & received when promised

I’m a small business professional who uses this paper as the main substrate for my printed products. I wouldn’t use any other paper when producing high-quality, archival standard giclee prints.

I am an artist who uses very specific Epson paper and ink and B&H to make unique watercolor paper artprints of my original mixed-media artwork and B&H not only supplies them … but saves me money and time in doing so. I even bought my first printers from them and the expensive scanner == all at a discount five years ago which enabled me to start making real money with my artwork.We love B&H and always will

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