Comments about Epson Hot Press Bright Smooth Matte Paper - 17 x 22" - 25 Sheets:
If you know this product, you know it's available widely and what you're getting. Paper is paper, but you need to get the right stuff. The point of this writing is the B&H difference.
I am in Los Angeles, but you'd think from the way it was packed that I lived on Mars. The packaging was solid, secure, professional, and with obvious regard for the condition of the product and my need to have it arrive in good order. 15 stars for packing and delivery!!

Comments about Epson Hot Press Bright Smooth Matte Paper - 17 x 22" - 25 Sheets:
This paper has a real nice weight to it and feels hefty in the hand. The matte finish is quite nice, and it doesn't seem too fragile to me (but I'm careful with it nonetheless). It's bright, but it's not white. I print a lot of winter minimalist shots with pure white snow in them, and I would like it even more if this paper were whiter yet. But the slight warm cast isn't a problem on other shots, or even on some snow shots if they aren't side by side with a whiter paper. I've had no issues with jamming or anything like that. Colors look good, and for whatever reason, prints on this paper come out matching exactly what my monitor shows. Other papers I use require tiny amounts of "interpolation" to get prints to match the monitor precisely.

Used this paper for some personal work, as an art show and it came out really nice. Printed this paper on the Epson 3880 and the quality is just brilliant.

Comments about Epson Hot Press Bright Smooth Matte Paper - 17 x 22" - 25 Sheets:
I purchased Epson Hot Press Bright White after reading glowing reviews and watching promotional videos that praised it's d-max and claimed rich, deep blacks and a gamut close to Premium Luster. But in testing this paper on an Epson 3880 printer with Epson profiles, I found poor performance in shadows, and no match to Premium Luster.Initial tests showed "muddy" shadows and a general foggy image. More detailed test with step wedge images showed that the paper is unable to handle RGB values below the 30 to 40 range. The paper clips significantly below this range, and shadow detail is lost.The paper performs well on medium to high key images, but is unsuitable for images with significant low key shadows. Strangely, the Epson promotional videos by famous photographers contain samples of some very low key images. Don't be misled by them, as I was.I documented my experience here[@]

Comments about Epson Hot Press Bright Smooth Matte Paper - 17 x 22" - 25 Sheets:
This is the best fine art matte paper anyone has yet produced. It works great with even older printers with the Ultrachrome Ink. Great results from my six year old Epson 4000.
