I like it lots. Very similar to Epsons Premium Luster. |
How similar is it? Every matte paper I've ever tried seems to have a finsih that seems like normal cardstock almost. The luster stuff has a nice textured finish that seems like its coated with plastic or something. Its also 100% waterproof! (Did I say i love this stuff? I print my cards on it lol). If you tried running any other other matte paper I've used under the tap you'd end up with a big soggy mess. I wish this paper came in 4x6 and 5x7 sizes. I also like how it says "professional" on the back :-D

| Ilford Galerie Papers are just about right and have an exceptional finish, especially the 'pearl' and the 'smooth' gloss. About 25 cents per 8.5 X 11 sheet when purchased online or at Sam's Club. |

| The Kodak ultra stuff is really heavy, not sure on compatability though. |

Does anyone know what weight/mil paper is used in photo processing?
I would like to print some pictures for friends, but the glossy premium papers still feel thin. I'd like a thick paper that doesn't give away that the pictures were printed at home.
I understand that the color quality is foremost, but if it doesn't 'feel' like a photo, doesn't it detract from the feeling they have received a quality print?
-Lexmark Premium 9.5 mil feels a little thin, but thicker than HP semi-gloss 48lb.
-HP Premium 10 mil feels a little more substantial - has a grainy feel on the back.
-Hammermill Ultra Gloss 38lb - too thin |
