5.0 out of 5 stars The best paper for your Epson printer, June 28, 2011

If you own an Epson printer, Epson paper can't be beat. While specialty papers might be available from other vendors such as Red River, for most printing, the best results are on Epson paper. I have tried other major brands such as HP and Canon and have been disappointed. Using Photoshop Elements 9 you can find specific profiles for the type of paer you use and let Elements control the colors, but even with my Epson printer controlling it, the colors are true, it is instant dry, water resistant and does not fade. One recommendation is to wait 24 hours after printing before placinga print behind glass.

This paper is more expensive than the next grade down, but the quality is incredible when using Claria ink. I have an Artisan 810 printer and was skeptical about whether it could really replace a photo printing service, but the results are amazing. I tried a couple of non-Epson papers, and the results are not even close. What's really nice is that the ink comes out virtually dry right off the printer, so you don't get smudges. The transitions between colors are seamless, and the finish is uniform. It made a believer out of me.

If you take care in shooting your photos and then additional time in editing, why not make sure you can actually see what you've done? I've been using the 8.5 x 11 size of this paper for some time, printing with an Epson R800. I haven't found another paper that shows detail and color accuracy like this Epson paper. Gradients are smooth and edges are crisp. With careful calibration all around, what you see on this paper is what you saw when you made the shot. I usually print in larger sizes, but I still find that 4x6 is nice for portraits and proofs.

It's certainly true that making your own prints is notably more expensive than ordering prints from a lab. But no bargain lab or kiosk will give you this level of quality. This is the paper to beat.
