I use this paper for printing 12X12 scrapbook pages. The print quality is excellent, crisp true colors with the ink absorption. Would definitely recommend this product.

I use it for card making and scrapbooking. I don’t have any complaints and when I print it for scrapbooking, the pictures come out really clear. When you put it behind a clear sleeve, it is hard to tell that it is not photo paper.

This is great paper for making calendars, portfolios, and other documents that are printed on two sides. It does the job at a reasonable price. Nice weight, not light, but not too heavy or stiff.

I’ve used this paper with my Epson R3000 printer and the prints are amazing. Beautiful vibrant colors. Great for CAD’s for apparel design. It is also double sided.

Inkpress papers are the only non-Epson product I will use with my Epson printers.

I use this paper for printing graphics/text for events (menus, table signs, place cards, etc…). It’s a great price, and nicely thick/sturdy paper; however the actual print quality is not as good as some more expensive matte papers I’ve used. Colors could be more vibrant, and especially in areas where a lot of solid color ink is laid down, you get that kind of mottled surface texture. All in all, though, for printing graphics & text (without large areas of solid color) it’s a good paper.

With this paper you can print a template (two per 17″ x 22″ sheet) for a small box-like pouch to hold several of the 5″ x 7″ cards you’ve printed with the pre-scored paper + envelopes made of the same Inkpress paper. You’ll need a “scoring board” from an art supply store and a bit of patience, but you’ll have a nice gift for your efforts.

I love love love this paper. For what I need my photographs turned out great. And the quality of the paper is so good. Little disappointed that the box the paper came in was a dented up and a few pieces of paper were bent.

The Inkpress Duo Matte 80 is one of the very few matte papers that is dual-sided with a hard very smooth surface. You can get it in the Hahnemuhle Natural Art Duo, but that’s an expensive paper in ivory color. This one is soft white. The Red River Polar Matte used to have a hard smooth surface like this, but the mill changed the formula and that paper is rougher now. In any case, this paper prints beautifully, at least on my Epson printers, and I mostly use it on my budget priced Epson Artisan 50 for printing greeting cards, either with my own photos or high quality scans from books and magazines, done with my Epson V750 Pro scanner. The results are actually exceptional. No complaints. The only problem is the 215 weight, which for me limits its uses to small prints and greeting cards. It’s especially good for 4 1/2 by 6 1/4 cards, and while the 5×7 greeting card works okay, it doesn’t have the desired heft of a 235, or best of all, the 256 weight of the Hahnemuhle. Still, at this price, I have to give it 5 stars. It’s just a great bargain that produces really fine printing results. Wish they’d make the same paper in a 240 weight. That would be the cat’s pajamas! By the way, I’ve never seen the new and improved sticker, and I just bought two boxes in September of 2013 in the 8×10 and 8 1/2 x 11 sizes. Same great paper. Finally, I don’t bother with profiles, as this paper works great with Epson’s Premium Presentation Matte selection. See my attached sample greeting card, a self portrait by Frida Kahlo scanned from a book.

Inexpensive alternative matte finish makes a nice presentation. Use for place holders a dining events, table numbers and even for Wedding invitations with photograph silhouetted behind the typed details. On a faster print setting, you do get an occasional paper jam but that was not evident on the slower high quality printer setting. all in all a good product from a good company B&H !

There is another recent review of this paper in a different size that stated that their box came with a New & Improved sticker on it and that the paper inside made some horrible prints. Definitely not the same paper they had used in the past. Well, I was skeptical of this claim and, boy, did I pay the price. This other reviewer was spot on. Not only did I have the same experience with my prints, but mine had the same sticker slapped on the box. The old version of the paper and this new version don’t even feel anything alike! And when I profiled the new paper and compared it against the old profile in a program that lets you view a 3d model of the color spaces, they were completely different. The only reason I’m not giving this paper one star is that it is actually better than some I’ve used before.

I’m using this paper to produce 12-month calendars to give to family and friends. Printing at home using an inkjet printer. Photo/graphics on one side, monthly calendar on the reverse. Paper thickness and brightness are good, there’s no bleed-through and ink dries quickly. Paper cut is consistent from box to box. The only problem I had was with the slight curvature of the paper. The printer had some trouble picking up the paper when fed with the convex side up, so a light bending of the paper to minimize the curvature was necessary and it corrected the problem. Very pleased with the results.

I use this paper for making greeting cards and for certain professional prints. Color come out well on a Canon Pro 100 printer; there is never any bleeding or smearing. The 250 sheet pack is a bargain and I am looking forward to having a much larger supply of paper on hand.

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.
