This instant drying paper produces vivid, lifelike images that rival those of traditional silver halide prints. Premium Luster Photo Paper delivers highly saturated prints by offering maximum ink coverage and a high D-Max for true photographic reproductions.

I print a lot of large images, from 11x14 (on my Epson 2200), to 24x36 (not on my inkjet), and 12 x 44 (on the 2200), including scenics, my children and grandson, underwater scenes, aerial photos, old aerials (for litigation purposes, etc.). I have supplies of every one of Epson's premium papers, but I always end up using the Premium Luster (though I think it should be spelled "lustre." It can be viewed off-center without any degradation in quality, etc, etc.

I like the paper, but after receiving it, I found that the back had "Epson Professional" written on the back of it, rendering it useless for me. (I can hardly send a print to a client where they knew I printed it...) The Luster roll paper does not have this stamp on the back, but of course it does not lay flat. I would not have bought it if I knew there were stamp markings on the back.
For those of you at home, this paper is very good...

As a photo major, finding the cheapest price and the largest quantity of paper was something I needed to do, seeing that I would be constantly printing out my photographs. B & H was the right choice, the product is wonderful. I have no complaints, shipping was fast, and I am a happy customer!

I use this paper for just about everything...from posters to fine quality prints for exhibitions. People tend to love the size of an images that's bigger than usual. I wish they would sell it in a 250 count!

I have been printing with Epson Premium Paper semi gloss for quite some time. Buying from B&H in packages to make 100 sheets makes the cost per sheet of 13 x 19 size about [$]. Going with this 100 sheet package of Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster is, in my opinion equal to the semi-gloss, but the per sheet cost goes down to [$] Not a bad bargin!

We have an art class that meets in one of our computer labs, and they use an Epson 4880 printer with Premium Luster Photo paper - both 8 1/2 x 11 and 13 x 19. I love that I'm able to get these products in "super size" from B&H and their shipping is incredible.

I nearly exclusively use Epson Premium Luster photo paper in my work. My work is largely macro-photography of plants and insects for scientific purposes. Premium luster paper has high brightness, contrast control, color rendition, and appropriate reflectance to accurately portray my photography. Inks dry very fast and colors are very stable. I have had unprotected photos on my lab wall for over 10 years without any discernible loss of color detail.

This product is preferred when I want a crisp looking photo. If you want an image with clean, crisp edges, this works well. If your goal is a softer look, this isn't for that image.

I have always had great results printing photo images on Epson's Premium luster paper. Skin tones look real , colors stand out and having different sizes is a plus. 13 x 19 and 17 x 22 are good sizes for 11 x 14 and 16 x 20. I have won many awards with Epson papers and inks. [...]
