Great print results BUT the 11.7 x 16.5 size which is a common size overseas makes it impossible to find a decent portfolio or even affordable sheet protectors. Currently Amazon has one set of A3 protectors selling at 25 for a 10 pack. That's nuts. Your only option then is to cut the paper (not always a clean result with luster) or buy an oversized book that leaves your prints swimming.

These photo papers are absolutely the best when it comes to quality printing that you want to last! I tried an experiment on the premium luster paper by setting a water glass that was sweating on a photograph I had printed and let it sit for 10 minutes or so. I then removed the glass, blotted the water up and let it dry. When it was completely dry there was barely any sign of a water ring...infact I had to really examine the paper to see the tiny mark that was left behind.

Item was as describes. The paper absorbs the ink very well and yields beautiful photos. Very satisfied customer.

This paper is all you need to present your photos in their "best light" It is not harsh like a true glossy and it is not dull and flat like a mat paper. This paper adds luster and luminosity to your work and really makes the photos POP.

This is an excellent all around paper for Epson Photo printers. I use this paper on a regular basis and have been very satisfied.

Love this paper, it is the best for school since I am a photo student. Would definitely purchase again!

The Epson paper is extrmely good. I like the Lustre, and it is my default paper now. I have an Epson printer, so it helps to have Epson paper.

Like all of Epson's other Ultra Premium Luster Photo Papers, this product is magnificent. The color reproduction is phenomenal, the paper thickness is great. I use these all the time to update my portfolio book.

Superb paper. And the size is a perfect fit for an out-of-the-camera image from the D300. I am not a pro, but I do print on Crane and Hahnemuehle papers as well. Matted and behind glass, this Epson paper certainly holds its own. What I really like (as I buy another batch today) is that by simply enlarging the native image width to 10" from the native 9.4" and letting the length increase proportionally one gets a perfect center fit with a nice white border.
Also, this paper's Premium ICC Profile provided by Epson for my Epson Photo R2400 gives me picture-perfect output from Photoshop CS3, even better than using the expensive ImagePrint RIP program. (I think ImagePrint does better with non-Epson papers).
If you have a D300 and want perfect images in a convenient size for display or for giving to friends, this is it.

I have printed on this paper with an Epson 3800 and 4000, and the print quality is great. Even black and white looks fantastic, and there is a minimal amount of bronzing. If you can afford Silver Rag, go with that, but this paper is very nice.
