EPSS041464 - Epson Photo Paper

Having seen various prices for this item I was so pleased with the quality of this paper it made excellent photo printing

Recomendable cuando es importante la calidad de la foto, especialmente con impresoras Epson.

J'ai acheté une autre marque de papier et lors de l'impression de photos, il y avait des marques pleines sur la bobine qui fait courir le papier. Je pensais que mon imprimante était mal fabriquée, j'ai même changé toutes les spécifications mais ça n'a toujours pas marché. Mais j'ai décidé d'acheter le papier original Epson et surprise les photos sont sorties sans détails et parfaites. Je n'achèterai certainement plus de papier que celui de l'imprimante. Ce papier est sans aucun doute de très bonne qualité. Recommandé pour vos photos.

I purchased this Epson High-Gloss Premium Photo Paper (S042183) , thinking that it is a new photo paper for me to try on my Epson Stylus Photo RX620 printer. When it arrived, I was surprised to see this fine print on its package: "Formerly Premium Glossy Photo Paper". But all is fine. I have used the Epson Premium Glossy Paper since about 10 years ago when it first came out, on my old Epson Stylus Photo 1270 printer. It was the best photo paper available at the time, and it is still an excellent choice today for used with newer Epson printers. This is the paper that I always use to generate that "WOW" reaction when I show my prints to others. Here is what I liked about this paper: - It is extra thick with a glossy finish, which makes the printout looks and feels EXACTLY like a 'real' (dye-sub) photo. - It has a very high brightness index, when gives the printout greater contrast and more 'POP'. - With the correct printer and image settings, the printout is GORGEOUS - much better than prints you can get from any chain-stores. - Inks dry almost instantly on this paper, so there's no need to wait hours for the print to dry (unlike the case with Epson Colorlife photo paper ). - The print surface is _relatively_ tough (though not as tough as a 'real' photo) and is water-resistant. So handling the prints is much easier. One slight disadvantage of this photo paper is its print permanence. As with any inkjet printout, it should not be displayed in open air, or else fading due to ozone will occur. This was a serious problem with previous generation of dye-based inks. But with later-generation Epson 'Claria Hi-Definition' inks (used in my RX620, for example), the display life has improved significantly(*). So now I have no reservations in recommending this photo paper for use with newer Epson inkjet printers. (*) According to a report by Wilhelm Research Institute, the combination of Epson RX660 inks and this Premium Glossy photo paper gives a display life of 17 years when the print is exposed to open-air. If the print is framed behind glass, its display life increases to 98 years. When stored in a photo album, the print can last for over 200 years! But of course, those are all projected data.

It's just paper

Works great with my Epson printer, developing some really beautiful photos, so I would say it's a great value for the price. It's a good thick paper weight, keeping the photos sturdy enough to just hang by themselves on the wall. It has a nice gloss to it, that just too much, but just right!
