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...

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.

Photo paper is used for printing photos taken from afterschool activities for school display. Print quality is equivalent to outside professional photo developing. There is nothing negative to say about product.

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. [...]

I am currently using this product for my digital photography class, along with my Junior Review that is coming up. So my paper is being used well for assignments along with shows... I love the way the photo paper looks. It doesn't glare to much and shows off colors really nice.

This is a very versatile paper, with amazing color and black and white results. Using it on an Epson R2400, no issues what-so-ever. Paper feeds great, takes the color great, and best of all archives really amazing! I will buy this product again and again.

I am a photography student and needed this paper for my final. I use this paper on Epson 7800. All images were printed at higher than 240 dpi. I did some test print using 8.5x11 premium luster paper before print large. Gave me great quality so far.

I print on an Epson 3800 Pro printer and always get consistent results when using Epson paper. Even with profiles, I can't always rely that the tones and colors with other papers will be what I expect. Since I also have large prints made commercially, printing at home on lustre paper gives me good idea of the output on a larger Epson.

Comments about Epson Premium Luster Photo Paper - 13 x 19" (Super B) - 100 Sheets:
I use this paper for everything except where a matt surface is required. The 13x19 inch size is my standard for exhibition prints. Using an Epson R1800 printer and a custom profile I find that my prints can match those made with the best Epson printers. I only wish that it was available in smaller sizes. The excellent color and durable surface make it ideal for proofs. The difference in quality make it worth it to me to cut the 4x6 sizes from larger paper.

I use Epson Premiun Luster Paper for about 90% of my photo printing on an Epson R2880 printer. I've found that it gives excellent color reproduction when used with the correct paper profile, Epson K3 Ink and a calibrated monitor it consistently gives award winning archival quality color prints.
I do not recommend this paper for black & white prints. Epson fine art paper give me the best results for Black & White Prints.
