I have a Fine Art Photographic studio in Paso Robles and use Staples double sided matte paper in an Epson 3880 which produces beautiful prints both in classic black and white and color. I use the curve for Epson Enhanced Matte paper. I am very satisfied with its performance. Its archival qualities need to be clarified.
Excellent product that creates beautiful results with my Epson 1400 printer and Claria inks. Wonderful color and tones. One of my two favorite papers along with Arches Water Color Paper that I wish was made in larger sizes.
The texture of the paper is fine for most every day printing. However when it comes to portrait quality in a professional setting I find that the inks show best on the HP stock that is designed to go with my printers and inks.
I made the mistake of buying this product; I was actually looking to get the glossy photo paper. But it worked out well in the end and my client was happy with the outcome.
