Review: Great For Making Art Prints - I am a stay-at-home mom who loves to paint and I’ve recently decided to have a go at selling my art prints! Over Christmas, I treated myself to an Epson 8550 EcoTank printer along with this Epson Premium Presentation Double Sided MATTE Paper. The paper I purchased is in a pack of 50 sheets that are 8.5” x 11”. So far it has been working out wonderfully. I’ve been printing 8” x 10” on the paper so that I can also offer 8” x 10” Matting, but they also look great printed with no border. I’ve had no issues with smearing/smudging while printing borderless on the paper. The matting I’m using was also purchased on desertcart. I am extremely happy with the quality of the Epson paper and don’t think I will ever change! I’ve also heard that it’s best to pair Epson papers with Epson printers. My printer has a preset setting for Presentation Matte Paper so I just go with that every time and the colors come out vibrant and accurate to the original paintings. The paper is smooth, but sturdy. I’ve noticed a slight curl in some of my prints, but it’s no problem once they’re popped in a frame or between matting. Overall I love this paper and I’m excited to try out larger sizes! There are a few things that I have learned along the way when trying to create art prints at home. At first, my prints kept coming out much darker than the original painting and I hope these suggestions can help out fellow artists who have been running in to the same problem. • Take your photo of painting in INDIRECT but bright sunlight (this helps capture the colors better) • You will always have to edit your photo in some way prior to printing • While editing your photos, do it in a dim lit room with your computer monitor brightness at about 20-25% max • This step is crucial- Make sure your printer setting is set up to match the same paper. Ex, with Presentation Paper Matte, select matte setting. • I have found printing in AdobeRGb to work the best
Review: Great heavy weight paper that works well in HP LaserJet - The weight of this paper is close to a light card stock. Laminate two of these together and you get a nice paperback cover. I used these with the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdw and it was fully compatible- feeding through the manual tray (Tray 1). It worked great each time and did not smear and was instantly dry. The colors are pretty good- but that will depend more on your printer. It is matte, so you won't get the "gloss boost" of saturation that you might expect. Remember they you need to set the paper weight in your printer settings. This paper runs MUCH slower through the printer than my standard 20lb copy paper type stuff I print most things on. Seems like a solid value if you don't need a bunch and just want to have a little bit around for projects and heavier printing.

## Features

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does this say the color is black? Am I missing something here? Thanks in advance.**
A: I believe it means the packaging. I really don't know, but the paper is bright white.

**Q: Anyone use this paper in a Canon Pixima printer with good results for photos?  What settings did you use?**
A: The Canon Pixma printers are built to be considered an extremely sensitive printer. I personally have the Pro9500. The quality of the pictures are superb, even when using the less expensive Canon paper. However, saying that, when I run my cleaning process once a week, I use standard Costco printer paper, which is typically 20lb test. Long story short, I learned the hard way that when I mixed other vender's paper for higher than norm expected results, the quality diminished greatly; not to mention the short lived life of my printer/s. I would recommend using paper that the vender suggests because it is true, the printer prints with better quality and seems to last longer. For myself, I use Epson Matted Heavyweight paper (44/45lb) in my HP LaserJet Pro 450 for DVD and CD case covers and the results are very good. So there are some vender products that can cross products, but for Canon, I would use only what is suggested for best results. Good luck and have fun with your trail and error experiences.

**Q: could i use this to print invitations? is it heavy enough?**
A: I use it for invitations a lot and it works well, yes. You just always want to be sure and use the bright white side of the paper, not the duller side.

**Q: Is this double sided paper or single sided?**
A: Look carefully at the description - I've discovered that if you order 50 pages, you'll receive the double-sided.  If you order the 100 page quantity, the description changes, and you'll get single sided paper - hence the discrepancies in the reviews.  I'm sending back my 100 pages, even through I used 3 pages in this discovery.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best thicker stock inkjet paper on the market! Latest batch truly double-sided....
*by M***S on July 2, 2025*

I have been using this paper for years, always great quality, but previously, it was not truly double-sided. Of course, you could always print on both sides, but one side was brighter than the other. I would fold the paper over on itself to determine what was the best side to print on. The latest batch I received, looks like Epson addressed this issue. When I folded the paper over on itself, I could not see a difference, and I think that was because there is no difference! I took sheets out of the package and purposely alternated sides, printed them, did not see any difference. I always get great color saturation and true colors when using this paper, just make sure your printer is set to Inkjet Paper setting. There may be cheaper papers out there saying they are as good, but I have always had great results with this product, not willing to take a chance on others. Buy a pack, try it, you will not be disappointed!
