Review 1 of 4

Price Paid: $29.00 from Micro Support (50 sh

Summary:

I use this paper for prints of paintings that have been scanned and stitched on a flatbed scanner, printed on Epson 1280. The reproduction is perfect; when compared side by side with the original painting, it's hard to tell them apart. Colors match exactly and detail is sharp. All without any adjustments to the scanner, in PhotoShop, or in the printer software.

Strengths:

Perfect reproduction. Dry from the printer. With Epson ink, tested for no fading for at least 25 years by Wilhelm Labs.

Weaknesses:

None

Similar Products Used:

Took Epson's advice from the beginning.

Customer Service:

Epson has always been very helpful and knowledgeable. They told me about using stitching software with a flatbed scanner, which is immensely preferable to shooting art with a camera.

Good paper at a good price. Good sharpness & color, and Epson claims excellent image life. It comes out of the printer dry, which is a big plus. It would be nice if it were a little heavier.

Inexpensive, looks good.

Thin.
