Review on Epson Premium Matte Presentation Paper - 100 Sheets (8.5X11 Inches) For Professional Quality Results by Andre Stephens

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good results, but with caveats, like not recyclable and very fussy

The final result is beautiful, but there are caveats. For one thing, the paper is not recyclable, according the enclosed instructions; they direct that you follow your local waste disposal regulations when discarding. For another, if you follow their instructions, the paper is very fussy: No scuffing, scratching or touching the surface; may need to be loaded one sheet at a time; should be flattened after printing the first side; should be removed from printer immediately after printing to prevent sheets from sticking together or becoming blurred; and after printing, should dry for at least 15 minutes (among the many guidelines). Now, all this may be for maintaining museum-quality pristine-ness, and my experience, using the paper for greeting cards, was fine without totally following instructions, but I was fortunate in using a Canon printer that 1) has a direct-feed tray, so it loaded without a 180-degree bend (although I did use the supplied Loading Support Sheet as directed) and 2) has an ink drying time setting that waits for a period of time after printing each sheet. And I had a fan pointed toward the paper to further ensure complete drying.

Pros
  • Produces prints that look and feel professional, polished, and well-considered
Cons
  • May require more ink to print high-quality results
