Top Positive Review

This paper works beautifully with my Epson Stylus Photo R1900 and the print quality is superior to anything else I have tried. However, be sure to print on the correct side! Everyone talks about printing on “the brighter side” but it’s not always that obvious unless you are holding it in very bright, natural light. When you open the package from the back, the printing side is usually facing you, right underneath the instructional paper. I attached a photo to illustrate how much sharper (and simply more fabulous) the print quality is if printed on the correct side, compared to the wrong side (oops). I hope this helps.

Top Critical Review

I have no issues with the print quality of this paper. I just wish the manufacturer would put a watermark or something on the non printing side of the paper. The packaging just indicates to use the “smoother” side for printing, but it is beyond my perceptive abilities to determine which side is smoother. In bright sunlight, I think you can see a slight brightness shift between the 2 sides… but I am really not sure. It is kind of pricey to just be running a test print to see if one side actually prints better. I have done 3 prints, and they all look great, so i believe I chose the correct side.

Customer Questions & Answers

will this paper work in a dell e525w printer?
Answer: I don??t know. It??s a thick, fine art paper. When I use it in my Epson printer, I use one sheet at a time. The times I stacked more than one sheet in the printer, the paper jammed. However, the finished print is so gorgeous, it??s worth painstakingly printing, one sheet in my printer at a time. My buyers love the prints.

Can I paint with soft Pastels on this paper?
Answer: Hi,

Epson said paper is only for inkjet, but there some Artist that have use this paper on soft pastel color

I’m a bit confused by the dimensions — the title reads “8.5×11” while the product details read “11.5 x 9 x 0.5”. Is that larger size just the box?
Answer: That is confusing to me too. I think that the price showing is for the larger size you mentioned. Perhaps the company is out of the 8.5 ?? 11. You may want to contact the company. BTW this paper is so nice, quality, texture etc. and prints nicely from ink jet printer.
