5 out of 5 stars Epson Ultra Premium vs Office Depot premuim   October 29, 2008
I am using this paper with an Epson Stylus Photo 1400. When I got the printer I got some Office Depot brand gloss premium photo paper because it was on sale, about half off. I was happy with the results, but I wanted to see if I was missing out by not having the Epson Ultra Premium. I like the Epson paper better, it looks like a professionally printed photo on professional paper. The Office Depot Premium paper looks good, but it still sort of has that home photo printer look. I have also never been a fan of glossy photos, I like the slightly matte look of the Ultra Premium. If I compare the Office Depot paper at the price I got it at (about $10 on sale) to the Epson Ultra Premium, I don't know if I would keep buying the Epson, but comparing them at their normal prices, I think it is worth it to spend a little more and get the Ultra Premium.

First off I ordered Ultra Premium Glossy and received the Luster version. The vendor Shoplet.com has been a pain, very slow and unresponsive to correct my order. They took the money! Well, somebody has. They initially delivered quickly and when I contacted them to correct they stalled us for additional 3 weeks. Since then I sent them the Luster paper, another 3 weeks...no word. Oh brother.


5 out of 5 stars Another excellent Epson paper   July 18, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I have an Epson R-380 high definition printer with Claria inks and the best paper that I've found for it is the Ultra Premium Photo Paper Glossy, which is by far the best photo paper that's I've ever used on that printer. I've also had excellent results with the Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte. It's interesting but I recently tried some Kodak Premium Photo Paper Matte and it might be an excellent paper on another printer, on the Epson, produced extremely small horizontal lines. Barely noticeable but definitely there. With the Epson matte paper, these line completely disappeared and the results were near perfection.

I've had such great results with these papers that I decided to try the Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster and all I can say is that I'm definitely adding it to my papers. I run a small business selling photo prints and cards and use different papers. The finish is determined by the photo. Some just call out for high gloss, while others require a different surface.

The luster finish is sort of a cross between matte and glossy and is similar to the ilford pearl paper but holds the Epson inks a bit better. It's a beautiful surface and is a pleasure to look at. It's actually luxurious.

Between these three Epson papers, I have it all covered. The choice in photo paper makes all the difference in the world to the serious photographer. Not so much if you're just printing snapshots. This review is aimed at those who want professional photo lab results at home.

The Epson R-380 printer as well as these three papers provide the best results. Since I'm actually selling these prints, I'm not as interested in keeping the costs of printing down as I am in the results.

Even a few years ago, who would have thought that this level of excellence was possible with home inkjet printing? I now have a full color photo lab right in my office.

The package came in very bad shape -- it looked very beat up. I almost returned it without opening it. However, when I did open the package, the paper was in excellent shape. Yes, I would buy this product again.
