Customer Reviews

MATTE WAS MY PREFERENCE IN TRADITIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY:
It has always been my preference to have pictures done on a matte medium. While using traditional pictures especially if you like I did switched to the APS format, you could no longer get a matte finish. Since I have gone digital, the only papers, that I have seen have been glossy, so this was a pleasant surprise.
A CO-WORKER WHO IS ALSO A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER, INTRODUCED ME TO THIS PAPER:
Knowing I used many reams of paper in glossy prints but really liked matte, a co-worker told me of this matte finish ink jet paper and showed me a photo he had done. Wow! He had the Epson 890 like I did, so I had to run out and get some of this amazing paper. His daughter in the photo, was wearing a red dress and it was amazing in depth of color.
MY TEST SHOTS WERE PHENOMENAL:
I was not dissappointed in the results. Though I have used it only on a couple of shots (I consider my test shots), I was amazed at the crispness of the photo. Only time will tell how well it lasts. I plan to subject some to the ultimate test (for me) hung on my office wall without a frame. I'll write back and tell you how it did.
NO GLARE MEANS THE PICTURE JUMPS RIGHT OUT AT YOU:
What I particularly like about matte pictures is the lack of glare. You don't have to get the right angle to view it. Also there is almost a 3D effect since you don't see the surface of the paper to make it flat. That is really nice.
MATTE IS CHEAPER THAN GLOSSY:
Matte paper at 50 pages per sheet cost also about the same of 20 sheets of glossy paper.. That too is a good thing.

Epson should really come up with an Ad Campaign that says, "Paper matters." Because if you've ever owned an Epson with photo-realistic capabilities and tried this paper, you'd know what I mean.
This stuff is incredible. It's honestly almost impossible to distinguish between prints made on this paper and the photo glossy paper and actual photographs. Incredible.
I've experienced no fading problems so far, and I treat my photos like any user would (ie: throw them on the desk and sorta forget about them until I clean).
