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.

This paper prints beautiful photos with great tones in both b/w and color (great blacks too!) I use it w/ the Epson 1400. I much prefer this matte paper to the satin and gloss. Print any subject– people, animals, landscapes–they look incredible. I’ve framed many images. I gave this paper 4 stars only b/c I haven’t tested the longevity of the prints personally (i.e. looking at them in a few years). Definitely recommend this paper!

5 stars, for a 5 star paper. I use this paper all the time for my professional work (I’m an artist). High quality prints every time (as long as you know how to use your printer properly and have the right settings in your Adobe programs of course).I use an epson stylus pro 4900 to print on this paper. I haven’t tried it on anything else. I was asked to write a review for paper, which is a little strange because there is not much you can say about paper. A lot of quality of your print comes from the printer itself and if you’ve properly set up the settings and adjustments in your Adobe program of choice. So if you get poor results from a 5 star epson paper, you’re probably doing something wrong. Make sure you print on the right side.Anyways, the paper is a good size, 17 x 22 is the next step up but the costs of that paper starts to get a little pricey. B&H doesn’t allow me to write the price of the production in my review but I did get it for a good price, no shipping, which made the paper cost roughly 80 cents per sheet. Do the math. Not bad!Remember, Matte paper soaks up the ink a bit and color so you may have to boost your saturation before printing, but that is the nature of matte paper.The colors are vibrant, however, so don’t be discouraged by that comment. The paper has a nice thickness and I love the matte because it doesn’t cause the glare and reflection that semi-gloss, luster, and glossy cause when you look at them.Buy Epson paper, 5 star quality version only. (nothing lower than that if you’re using this for professional work). I don’t work for Epson but you would think I did considering the great review I just gave them.

I have dozens of boxes of papers for printing high resolution photos and fine art but this is all I use anymore! Great paper, great price many applications. I only wish it came in rolls.

I’ve been using Premium Presentation Paper for years. Skeptically tried this Ultra Premium Presentation Paper. Guess what? It really IS better. Quite a bit better. Now I’m a convert- only Ultra Premium Presentation Paper for me, going forward.

The Ultra Premium Presentation paper matte helps me to create beautiful, rich tones and amazing visual depth with my photographs. I am never disappointed, the quality is outstanding…very much like B&H Photo and Video!

I have been working on a large printing project and have had to search at several sources for paper I wanted to buy in the quantity I needed. B&H had the size and the finish and in the quantity I needed. Best of all, it was at the best price, free shipping. It was a win, win, win, win, win!

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 use this paper for my fine art giclee prints. It produces a very clean bright white surface that makes the art prints look like originals. The size makes a great value and is very sellable.

I use this as my working image print, after viewing thumbnails on the monitor. It is relatively inexpensive for this medium size paper. Color management works efficently and well with my Epson R2400 printer when, using Photoshop or Lightroom, I let Printer determine the color. It handles B&W well.

Great all around paper.

I am printing photos for an exhibition at my town library and the quality of the final product is very good.

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.

I have been using this paper for professional printing for years and the colors didn’t fade out after years. It’s the best matte paper and it’s heavy weight. I will buy it again and again.

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