I have used this product only a few times so far in tests. So far I am impressed. At this time, the product is a needed compliment to the rest of my papers which are glossy. It remains to be seen how the pictures are received by others, but so far the results are promising.

Use for proofing prints for myself and clients. Have even used it for business cards. Clients love the thickness and the texture.

This, and especially the Inkpress warmtone 100% rag, for machine printing .. are as close you are likely to get to Fiber based darkroom paper. Although I’ve still got to use the Baryta papers that are available. Essentially a double weight paper that is clean and well worth the $ for a 50 sheet box.

Sharp, rich tones across the full spectrum.

We use this paper for our photos we take on our travels and we have never been disappointed in the quality of the image once printed. The double sided feature allows us to use both sides.

I make my own art postcards. I prefer a matte finish which is hard to find in 4×6. This paper is a good weight, produces good color and has a nice fine finish

I use this as card stock and for prints to frame or mount. It has very bold color on the Canon Pro-100. Existing Canon Matte Photo Profiles work well. It’s heavy enough to give a professional look to a card but still allows for easy handling. Being double sided helps a great deal and the price is a lot better per sheet than many other brands.

Great color

I bought this because i needed two-sided matte prints for small photo pendants i make. This gives me a crisp print even on fine type on my Epson. I used it for wedding favors for my brother’s wedding, too when other papers let me down.

Nice card stock that gives good prints. Almost seems thin for business cards, but it works fine. Nice for postcards or announcement cards. And the price seems great compared to other, similar paper.

I have been using this paper for several years because of the price point and weight/size needs, but Ive gotten more and more frustrated and disappointed with the quality. Its now at the point where I can hardly use the paper anymore and must find an alternative such as the Moab Lasal Matte. Normally when you buy a box of paper you just assume all the sheets are fine. Maybe a couple in a box are unusable just on sheer happenstance but it never crosses your mind that you should open the package and go through each sheet one at a time and inspect each one discriminately to ensure they are all usable — especially with paper that’s specifically designed for presentation printing and not generic copy paper. Well that’s what Ive had to do over the last 10 or so boxes Ive bought of any Inkpress Matte paper of the last 3-4 years. I would estimate 50-75% of sheets in every box I order are completely unusable. Why? Because so many sheets have imperfections and artifacts imbedded into the paper. Small grey and brown specs and black spots that are actually in the paper and not on the paper. Oftentimes 5-10 imperfections per sheet, per side. This includes black specs and tiny artifacts ON the paper that must be removed delicately by scraping them away with an exacto blade — which in half the cases damages that sheet of paper and makes it unusable anyway. Sometimes trying a delicate eraser can remove some of the specs. But at other times the imperfections are just manufactured into the paper and no amount of DIY fixing can solve the problem. I make prints where the whites are as important as the inked areas and cannot have specs and artifacts showing in the white. And when you try to print over the imperfections they just show through anyway or some imperfections eventually flake off (and so too the ink you printed on top of the imperfection), so now you have a white fleck showing in a sea of ink. I have no idea what the QC protocol is at Inkpress but they need to start printing paper in an air-filtrated pressurized room or something because I could spend 2-3x as much on paper and still come out better priced per print because Id be throwing away so many fewer sheets. In any 50 sheet box of Inkpress DuoMatte I buy, I have to toss 30-35 of them. I know it before I even open the box. Well, I’m at the point where I can’t waste this kind of money anymore so I’m going to switch to another manufacturer with the hope the QC is infinitely better. If and when the Inkpress sheets are without imperfections, the quality of the paper is perfectly fine and performs well. But those times are few and far between. Its not just a random box either. Like I said Ive ordered probably 15-20 boxes over the last 7-8 years. The QC has never been acceptable. Unfortunately you cant get a refund from B&H unless you get the box and visually inspect each sheet of paper the moment you get it, otherwise the refund period will expire. Thats ridiculous for paper because you don’t buy boxes of paper under the proviso you need to inspect each sheet to verify its okay. You buy paper and you stock it in your business and you pull it off the supply shelf when you need it. You grab sheets from the top of the box as you need them. There’s a minimum level of presumption that the paper will not be so imperfect that its practically unusable for its intended use. If this were cheap copy paper these artifacts and imperfections might not be a big deal but this product is not that. There needs to be more practical return policy on paper based on how its ordered and used. Spending hours inspecting 500 sheets of paper ON BOTH SIDES with a close eye to ensure its okay is not fair ask by any metric. Time is money and I no longer have the time or patience to continue accepting this product as acceptable.

I’ve been a fan of Inkpress papers for some time, and have been printing on their Matte 80 for about 2 years. Last batch I purchased had a new and improved sticker on the box. Big trouble. I returned the second (unopened) box after repeated test prints that were entirely unacceptable in quality–(ink laying on the surface). ICC Profiles appear unchanged, so I’m not sure what’s going on here, but I’m not happy. I loved this 12 mil paper–anyone have a favorite alternative to recommend???

This is great for any use that needs two-sided printing, such as calendars, portfolios, greeting cards, etc. The print quality is excellent, better than Epson Premium Presentation Paper MATTE Double-Sided, in my opinion. Only issue I have is my Epson Photo Stylus R3000 didn’t like to feed from the vertical paper feed. Had to use the front feed, which is a little bit slower. Still, I highly recommend this paper.

Have ordered this before and I have some clients who love the results. If your a macro detailed photographer, I wouldn’t purchase it for the grain will hide the detail.

Very pleased with Duo-Matt 80 paper. Good colors and price is good.

I got this for a project to create a book. The photos came out great and the paper was perfectly workable. The only draw back is that the paper cracks when you fold it.

I was most disappointed to find that the finish on the back side of the paper is different than the front. The front side has a nice pebbly texture (subtle, but there) and the backside is very smooth and texture-less.

The ink was absorbed right away so I was able to turn the paper over and print on the other side right away which was nice but the image didn’t come out as nice or colorful as on the canon paper that came with my printer. Nice weight paper though.
