    Comments about Epson Double Sided Matte Paper 8.5x11" - 50 Sheets:

    I am temporarily printing on a cheap 4-in-1 Epson photo printer. It would not accept the non-Epson matte paper that I'd purchased elsewhere. The Epson brand works perfectly well in this printer. I am happy.

      To get excellent color of both sides of Note, Gift, Thank You, and Holiday cards, this paper is ideal. Useable for full-sheet folded, and half-sheet folded cards. You can print on both sides whether you have a printer capable of duplex-printing or not.

      I have bought this paper for several years and still get compliments on the quality of my personal cards.

        Comments about Epson Double Sided Matte Paper 8.5x11" - 50 Sheets:

        This paper yields outstanding colors on both sides which makes it perfect for colorful images and text. You can layout two greeting cards per sheet, then after printing both sides you cut them apart across the 8.5" dimension. It helps to have an image manipulation program, such as Photoshop Elements, to provide layout guides and rotate the sheet for 'upside down' text.

        First print the side which uses the least ink to keep the sheet as flat as possible for the second pass through the printer. Practice with letter paper to be sure you have everything right side up on the inside and outside of the finished card. Use a paper knife or rotary cutter to separate the two finished cards. Fold each card in half, and they are a perfect fit in Invitation Envelopes [4-3/8" x 5-3/4"]. You can print addresses directly on the envelopes with your printer to show you care enough to do a thorough job. Again, cut some letter paper to envelope size to make sure you have the addresses positioned properly. To produce one or a few addressed envelopes, sometimes it is easier use Photoshop to define the envelope size and place the addresses, then print envelope(s)from Photoshop.

        Images of both sides of a finished sheet are included here, and helpful positioning guides are shown.

            This paper is a good value from Epson. I have used it for years. My Calendars have a professional art look to them that I want to display my underwater photos. I noticed Epson has improved the paper by making it slightly heavier. This is good for the feel of the paper. However the heavier stock is causing my printer to jam or misfeed. This is not good as it wastes paper and expensive ink. I think most of the problem is due to the printer being old and has printed a lot of paper. I plan to get a new printer soon and that should take care of the problem.

                I use the Epson Double Sided Matte Paper to print all my blank art cards, and or Greeting cards. The difference between single sided and double sided is the surface. What i mean is if you only have a single sided, you fold it in half like a greeting card. Then the inside is slightly duller than the outside. This is why i only use the double sided for my art cards. This paper is thick like a greeting card. The surface is so smooth. The print quality is better than any of the glossy papers. If you print solid black, it is deeper and darker black than any other paper!

                However this paper is not as archival and not waterproof(because it is a paper and not a glossy paper).

                    Comments about Epson Double Sided Matte Paper 8.5x11" - 50 Sheets:

                    I use the Epson matte paper for proofing color and BW fine art prints, printing double sided photo album pages and for greeting cards. I give it 5 stars mainly because it is so doggone cost effective. With the standard Epson downloaded profile on my SPR2400, colors are accurate with good detail. Shadow detail is missing with R=G=B values less than 25, but that might be helped by tuning the ink configuration a little bit. White is not the brightest, but good enough - especially at this price. And surface texture is very smooth. Dot gain is minimal for fine detail. I use a fair amount of this paper. It also takes well to a Canon 4 ink printer using the std printer color management.

                        I use this all the time for cards. I can print on both sides with my Epson R1800 and it does not show through to the other side. It's pretty heavy and makes for a very professional looking card.

                          I use the Epson Double Sided Matte paper with my Epson Photo R200 printer for my DVD Case inserts. I made a custom template in PhotoShop Elements, and cut them to size.

                          The inserts allow me to add more marketing information about my company than just putting my business card in the case.
