5+++ stars
I purchased this paper because it was the cheapest brand out there- and printing your own photos is an expensive hobby. I had intended to use Epson papers for trial runs or copies for friends. However, the quality of my photos was incredible using epson paper. The colors are much more vivid and they don't fade over time as some photo papers do. I now use Epson paper for all my 4x6 photos and I save money!

Best Paper for Epson Photo Printers
Not only is this photo paper the most inexpensive paper I have used, but it is simply the best. The printed photos have a glossy finish that makes them indistinguishable from the regular film prints. I have used Kodak and HP premium papers and they don't hold a candle to the Epson brand. I have also used the older Epson paper and a no-name brand and neither were as bright and brilliant as this paper. I am using an Epson Stylus Photo RX500 and the prints are fabulous. ... Read more

I also recommend this paper
I also have used this paper for making family calendars this Christmas and found the quality excellent. It is not easy to find in stores.

Good deal for the price
I wanted to create calendars for our family. I found this a good deal for the printer (I have Lexmark Z54) and for the requirement. I had taken 5 calendars out of this and it works good for the double-side calendar. I could get an excellent finish. Color rendering is perfect and I did not find any smudging or bloating. The thickness is fine enough for a double-sided output.

I also found Matte finish better than Glossy in case of inkjet printers, especially this one, the best.

I would definitely recommend this product. ... Read more

FINE ART PAPER
Anyone thinking about using an inkjet printer for photography must try this paper. I do fine art photography and my own darkroom work in medium format. I just purchased the Epson 1270 printer and have been using this heavy weight paper with eye opening results. This paper is pure white and used with the new inks in the 870 and 1270 printers has a fade resistant life of over 26 years. This paper has the look of a fine art Ilford or Kodak N surface...And best of all ..the price is hard to beat !

Great Paper, Great for Giving
I primarily use my printer to make prints of my digital pics. I cannot stress enough how much better they look on this paper. They look so good that most people don't believe that they came from my digital camera and home printer.

High qulaity paper makes all the difference in the world when it comes to inkjet printing. I've tried quite a few different brands of paper, and I have fallen in love with the epson line. The pictures turn out sharp, rich and clear.

The only downside of the paper is that it does turn colors with time :-(. Epson says that if you keep them in an airtight package, say behind glass, they won't turn as quickly. Mine did in about a two years, but they were simply held in a stack, and not behind glass or in a sheet protector.

All that being said, it is good paper and my machines prints well on it. They make great prints for giving to others who want 'copies' of your pictures.

A Great Photo Paper
As a professional photographer, I've tested many different types of paper and Epson's Premium Line is by far the best. Everyone who sees the results (printed on the Epson 870/1270) can't believe it. The look and feel is the same as a photograph. The only way you'd know it was printed on an inkjet is by looking at the back to see the 'Epson' watermark.

Epson also produces the Premium Luster (an "E" surface or matte paper) and Premium Semi-Gloss Papers. They are all great papers, but the Premium Glossy affords the most contrast (which is to be expected from a glossy paper).

To lenghten this paper's longevity we reccomend displaying behind glass or keeping the prints in sheet protectors where the print doesn't have contact with the air. Under those conditions it will last a long time without a noticeable change--probably years, if not longer, according to Epson

Best for presentation/graphic printout
Epson makes great printer papers. I use Epson's matte paper almost as much as the regular inkjet paper. This paper is made for color presentation and graphic. I print out my portfolio and sample work with matte paper because it is relatively cheap to the high quality printout. I use the Epson 820 and the color print matches the monitor colors (98%) almost perfect.

For photo prints it is fine, but photos are simultaneous with glossy texture. If you like glossy photo then this is not the photo paper you would get. The colors do not jump at you nor have sharp deferential qualities that glossy can produce. Printing plain texts without color might be too wasteful (costly) for matte paper. I considered Epson the best in paper qualities over Canon, HP, Kodak and others for the quality/price. I have switched to the Canon i960 and am still using Epson's paper. It is that versatile. I tend to use the harder to find Epson double-side matte paper.

Just like a real photograph
I use this paper with an Epson Photo 960 using the "Premium glossy Photo Paper" option. It prints photos as nice as any Ive seen printed. These are great looking photos. Now if they could do something about the price. ... Read more

excellent color transfer
I need to put images and text on three t-shirts, and having an Epson Photo 890 printer, I naturally ordered the Epson iron-on transfer paper. I was surprised at the color quality of the image transfer - it's really good. For the text, I had to be sure to flip it horizntally before I printed it, so that it wouldn't be backwards on the shirt. I forgot once, but luckily it was on a practice shirt. Overall, I'm happy with the results, and I'll bet when we wear the shirts for an upcoming event, people will be surprised I did it myself.

Works well for the price and ease
The print itself looks great, but when you cut it out and iron it on your white t-shirt, you can see the white background and it looks pretty amateurish. It also has a rather slick feel to it, but I guess most transfers do. It probably wouldnt look very good at all on a t-shirt other than white. But for a quick way to make one or a few custom t-shirts, its very easy, and will get ok results. Try it out, but use a new, white t-shirt.

good product overall
i just wanted to add that in addition to what everyone has said already, beware that this product rips easily. if you stretch the shirt a little, then your design will become ripped. you also want to do a practice iron on an old shirt just to get acquainted with what part you peal off. hope this helps.

Solid product that requires attention to the instructions
I finished my first tshirt using the Epson product today. Unlike some reviews I had read, your first attempt need not be an "experiment". Just follow the instructions provided and be sure you understand how to load the product into your printer.

The colors are somewhat muted and the white tshirt does seem to show within the pattern to some degree. It will not produce the equivalent of a silk-screen process, but the end product is reasonably good given the price.

A Review of Iron-On Transfer Paper? I must be bored :-)
I've only tried a few different brands of Iron-On Transfer paper, (so far Avery, HP and Epson) and I can say that this one works rather well. The ability to peel the transfer paper backing off the shirt when it's cool works better than another brand of paper in which you have to peel the backing when it's still warm.

I see two drawbacks and both are minor but significant:

1) The backing of the paper is blank/white just like the front and it's almost impossible to tell which side is the one that you want to print on. One corner of the paper is cut off to tell you the orientation and Epson only has directions for their printer. Basically, if your printer feeds from the bottom, you orient it one way, but... if your printer feeds from the top, it's a different ball game. They tell you this on their website. Other brands of transfer paper have faded words on their paper to tell you which is the back.

2) Epson only provides the clear/white paper. If you try this on any dark colored shirt, you will see the iron-on transfer clearly and it doesn't look good. They mention it in one sentence in the instructions.

That's my 2 cents,

Victor ... Read more

Great alternative to photo paper
We used to print our marketing literature on glossy photo paper (architecture firm, lots of pictures). Tried this paper and loved it. The pictures are just as crisp with only a very slight color difference from the glossy paper, and it's about 75% cheaper.

Good for Crafts and Photo Projects for school
Think about it. The paper is 100 sheets for 11 dollars. That's VERY inexpensive for photo paper. I used this paper to make nice wrappers for around Hershey's candy to make favors for a 50th wedding anniversary. It is also great for making photo pages for the sports teams memory books. It is thin enough to not make the pages bulky, but thick enough to not let colors bleed through. I use it with an HP printer and it works great. I don't own an Epson, so I could not say how it works. I do know that it works great for sending a collage of photos to several people as it is inexpensive and the thickness makes it easy to fold into and envelope.(I did just that for Christmas cards) I would not use this for making long lasting photos, but if you want a better quality page than normal paper, this is the route to go!

Best photo paper value on the market!
I shot about 4.000 pictures within the last 3 months and printed over 1.200 of them. What paper do I use? This is one! It is my absolute favorite! Not only do I achieve an unbelievable color accuracy and picture quality but also the price is unbeatable! Sure, there are papers out there that are thicker and have a glossier finish but why would you want pay twice as much for that? Or more importantly, why do you need thicker paper and a glossier finish? 50 sheets for about $15 is as good as it gets! Generally I recommend Epson paper over HP, Kodak and Canon. Stay away from Staples and Hammermill paper. I use a HP 7760 printer and a Sony F717 camera.

OK for non critical volume printing
I have never been a big fan of Epson papers, this one is
no exception. Has a tendency to deform even under 200 ppi.
For unbeatable quality get the HP premium photo matte. That
paper rocks ! ... Read more

Best paper I've found yet
I could just talk about useless thinks, but I'll just mention something for those who consider this the best paper, and want to print 5x7 images.
First, this doesn't come in 5x7. So, to print as such, there is a way I've found to print 5x7 with the 1280, and other semi-wide format printers.
Load the paper in the tray landscape. (I know, they say not to do it, but it works.) Then, tell the printer to print your 5x7 centered on half letter paper. When the pic is printed, print your other image with the blank half of the page on the right, when you face the printer.
although this takes a little longer than might be desired, you now have made the best possible use of this paper, and have 5x7 prints ... Read more

great paper, but not what I wanted
Fantastic output from the Epson 960 printer on this paper, but I bought it thinking I could print borderless 8x10's. This option was not supported by the printer -- need to print 8x10 on 8 1/2 x 11 paper, then trim it.

The size doesn't work for the printer
I bought this paper for the Epson 890 printer. The printer I love, the paper, I don't. This size paper isn't entered in the printer software that comes with the printer. There is no borderless 8x10 paper setting. You can manually select the size and check borderless, but the printer thinks its 8.5x11 and if you selected to print an 8x10 with your picture software the printer adds a border to 3 sides and cuts off the picture on the fourth. I played around with various paper sizes and printer options but with no improvement.

This was very dissapointing. I bought 8x10 photo paper because I wanted 8x10 borderless photos, once you trim the shots down, they are no longer standard sizes for putting in picture frames. If you want 8x10 shots, buy the 8.5x11 borderless paper and trim. Its the only way to get a standard sized picture.

Also, I wouldn't recommend 8x10 shots for digital photo printing. Unless you have a very high Megapixel count, the pixels are spread too wide on an 8x10 and there is visable dithering or pixelation. I have a 3.1 camera, and I have noticed some dithering, you can see the pixels or dots from the camera.

Wow, great results
Believe me paper matters. When you put the wrong paper in your printer, you get very weird results.

P.S. This review was before I had used Kodak's One Touch to better Pictures. Please see my Kodak Paper review prior to making your buying decision. I was really impressed with what Kodak did.

REVIEW IS BASED ON USE ON THE EPSON 890:
When I bought my Epson 890, I bought several different packs of Epson paper, this 8 X 10 one, an 8.5 X 11 one and some 4 X 6 sheets as well as the roll paper. See my separate reviews on the others items (including the printer) also on this site, if you are interested in them. However, finally, I got around to trying the 8 x 10 paper. You see you wait until you have the perfect picture to do an enlargement.

NICE QUALITY IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT USES
It did not dissappoint. Wow, the colors were great. I took several types of pictures and different lighting and the result were great. Now that I've tried it I'm hooked. People who have seen the pictures first of all can't believe they are off an inkjet printer. Then they marvel at the color and sharpness of the photo.

PAPER AND PRINTER INTERATION:
One caution, those of you that think you can use any paper on any printer... Forget it. I had some paper from another supplier and when I used it on the Epson, the ghostly images were terrible. It seems not surprisingly that the printers are optimized for their papers. And to be honest, it is not worth the money to me to try a bunch of other manufacturer's paper only to find out the results would be bad.

EASIER TO FIND ON THE WEB THAN IN THE STORES:
This paper is easier to find on the net. I have looked in my usual spots for this paper off the web and considering not only computer, office supply and grocery stores it is just not out there.

Great product... Enjoy. ... Read more

The prints produced on this paper (by an Epson 890, in my experience) are virtually indistinguishable from photo prints. The paper looks and feels just like a photograph. For high quality printing needs, this paper fits the bill.

Excellent Medium
I print on an HP1120 and the colours I get on this paper are amazing. It has a high gloss and make the most amateurish work look professional (I should know!).

The colours don't run and they stay true for months and months ... of course that could be the ink but the paper helps.
