 great for printing projects from desktop publishing programs August 4, 2001
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
While not necessarily a superb choice for matte photos, this paper does work wonderfully for printing desktop publishing documents (such as greeting cards, calendars, brochures, etc.). It's consistency doesn't really offer a matte photograph appearance as the glossy Epson papers do offer a glossy photo appearance. Note: It also is off-white, slightly tan/beige/yellow rather than white.
Best for presentation/graphic printout March 20, 2004

Epson makes great printer papers. I use Epson's matte paper almost as much as the regular inkjet paper. This paper is made for color presentation and graphic. I print out my portfolio and sample work with matte paper because it is relatively cheap to the high quality printout. I use the Epson 820 and the color print matches the monitor colors (98%) almost perfect. For photo prints it is fine, but photos are simultaneous with glossy texture. If you like glossy photo then this is not the photo paper you would get. The colors do not jump at you nor have sharp deferential qualities that glossy can produce. Printing plain texts without color might be too wasteful (costly) for matte paper. I considered Epson the best in paper qualities over Canon, HP, Kodak and others for the quality/price. I have switched to the Canon i960 and am still using Epson's paper. It is that versatile. I tend to use the harder to find Epson double-side matte paper.
 Not photographic paper, but great card stock September 11, 2001

I was disappointed with this paper's quality, particularly when compared to the superb quality of Epson's glossy photographic paper. This paper does not produce realistic pictures at all.Usage: While not necessarily a superb choice for matte photos, this paper does work wonderfully for printing desktop publishing documents (such as greeting cards, calendars, brochures, and other items printed on card stock). Quality: It's consistency doesn't really offer a matte photograph appearance, even though the glossy paper from Epson DOES offer a glossy appearance. Color: I've noticed that some packages are off-white, slightly tan/beige/yellow rather than white. It's kind of hit-or-miss as to whether you get the white or the off-colored paper. I've gotten the off-colored paper 2 out of 7 purchases. (I use the Stylus Photo 870 to print)

I have been using this paper for some time now with my Canon S800 photo inkjet printer, with excellent results. Colors are bright and realistic, without any banding, bleed or artifacts introduced by the paper. For some photos, the matte finish is actually superior to glossy because it gives the illusion of greater depth and color intensity.So in sum, if you do not require glossy paper for your application, save yourself a bundle of $$ and try this paper out. I was pleasantly surprised with the results; and it offers a great result with a low cost per page.
