Epson Presentation Paper MATTE (8.5x11 Inches, 100 Sheets) (S041062)

 (13 customer reviews)

I have used dozens of boxes of 100 with a epson 2200 to make note cards with my photographs. I have sold around 1600 of these cards and everyone is very happy with the images. I use the enhanced mat profile that came with the printer and increase the saturation by 10 and the contrast by 5. I use 720 dpi and high speed. I have tried higher resolution settings and tried printing at the slow speed but can not find any diffrence in quality. These cards are 4 fold size. I do have mat black ink installed with the printer.
I do have an Epson 7600 that I use for making my high art prints, but have loved the 2200 for the smaller jobs and cards.

Okay it is now Feb. of 2010 and I want to add to this review that I origionaly did several years ago.
I have now sold over 4700 note cards all printed on this paper with my Epson 2200. When I compare ones printed many years ago with the ones printed today there is no color shift, fading,...Read more

Think about it. The paper is 100 sheets for 11 dollars. That's VERY inexpensive for photo paper. I used this paper to make nice wrappers for around Hershey's candy to make favors for a 50th wedding anniversary. It is also great for making photo pages for the sports teams memory books. It is thin enough to not make the pages bulky, but thick enough to not let colors bleed through. I use it with an HP printer and it works great. I don't own an Epson, so I could not say how it works. I do know that it works great for sending a collage of photos to several people as it is inexpensive and the thickness makes it easy to fold into and envelope.(I did just that for Christmas cards) I would not use this for making long lasting photos, but if you want a better quality page than normal paper, this is the route to go!

We used to print our marketing literature on glossy photo paper (architecture firm, lots of pictures). Tried this paper and loved it. The pictures are just as crisp with only a very slight color difference from the glossy paper, and it's about 75% cheaper.
