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 17 x 22″ sheets.

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.

I wouldn’t consider trying a different brand for both 8.5×11 and 13×19 Matte Paper.

This is the only paper I use to print my photos for fine art sales. I have tried other papers, including thicker ones. But, this is the best and produces the most correct colors for my prints.

This is a great matte paper produced by Epson. The weight and color profile are impressive and well balanced. We use this on a regular basis for proofs for larger pieces and for making small in house graphics.

An excellent paper with the weight and feel of traditional photo paper. Excellent color out of the box when used with Epson inks. As always, paper needs to stay in package until shortly before use as changes in humidity can adversely affect print quality and color.

I’ve been using this paper for at least 5 years. It’s dependable and gives a lovely matte surface for matte ink. That’s why I buy it in bulk!

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

I use this to proof before committing to cotton rag.

I wouldn’t buy this again, unless you print a lot of proofs, or are testing (as to not waste good paper). I prefer other Epson matte papers, much better. This is thin, and hard to tell with side to print on. No brand logo on backside. I would only recommend for proofs, or cheap prints on matte. Not for prints for sale, museum or gallery prints. I am not a fan of this per se.
