USING THIS WITH EPSON PHOTO PRINTERS, the quality has always been great.
It is kind of expensive if you print a lot.

I am using this paper with an Epson Stylus Photo 1400. When I got the printer I got some Office Depot brand gloss premium photo paper because it was on sale, about half off. I was happy with the results, but I wanted to see if I was missing out by not having the Epson Ultra Premium. I like the Epson paper better, it looks like a professionally printed photo on professional paper. The Office Depot Premium paper looks good, but it still sort of has that home photo printer look. I have also never been a fan of glossy photos, I like the slightly matte look of the Ultra Premium. If I compare the Office Depot paper at the price I got it at (about $10 on sale) to the Epson Ultra Premium, I don't know if I would keep buying the Epson, but comparing them at their normal prices, I think it is worth it to spend a little more and get the Ultra Premium.

The package came in very bad shape -- it looked very beat up. I almost returned it without opening it. However, when I did open the package, the paper was in excellent shape. Yes, I would buy this product again.

First off I ordered Ultra Premium Glossy and received the Luster version. The vendor Shoplet.com has been a pain, very slow and unresponsive to correct my order. They took the money! Well, somebody has. They initially delivered quickly and when I contacted them to correct they stalled us for additional 3 weeks. Since then I sent them the Luster paper, another 3 weeks...no word. Oh brother.
