Customer Reviews
The A3 size is frustrating in the US
Great print results BUT the 11.7 x 16.5 size which is a common size overseas makes it impossible to find a decent portfolio or even affordable sheet protectors. Currently Amazon has one set of A3 protectors selling at 25 for a 10 pack. That's nuts. Your only option then is to cut the paper (not always a clean result with luster) or buy an oversized book that leaves your prints swimming.
Epson Premium Luster Papers
These photo papers are absolutely the best when it comes to quality printing that you want to last! I tried an experiment on the premium luster paper by setting a water glass that was sweating on a photograph I had printed and let it sit for 10 minutes or so. I then removed the glass, blotted the water up and let it dry. When it was completely dry there was barely any sign of a water ring...infact I had to really examine the paper to see the tiny mark that was left behind.
EXCELLENT paper! photo wise, but odball size!
Fairly recently I began using this paper in the 8.5 x 11 standard size. What really makes this paper great, besides the outstanding color, is the fact that you don't see the "infamous" glare on areas where no ink is used when using ultra brite inks on glossy paper. In a few weeks I'll receive my new Epson 3880 with Ultrachrome K3 ink. I am so anxious to print large format on this paper.
Now... my general complaint about inkjet paper, at least from Epson. What is it with these guys having such oddball print sizes for PHOTO papers? Standard PHOTO print sizes today are from 8 x 10 to 11 x 14, 12 x 18, 16 x 20 and 20 x 24!! Epson apparently thinks everyone cuts their own mats... or that everyone can afford to have custom sized mats made! FORTUNATELY, I DO actually cut my own mats.... but most of my customers don't! Most people have to rely on pre-cut mats and frames. There ain'ta no pre-cut mats with an 11.7" x 16.5" or 13" x 19" opening!! Also, the portfolio I use to display my prints is made for 11 x 14 prints. I know that THIS size can be cut down to 11 x 14, but why should we have to do that?? So what possessed them to manufacture these off the wall PHOTO paper sizes??? I see no problems with 17 x 22, since that is the largest size print this printer uses (among Epson pre cut papers). And most people who pay $175 and up for fine art prints of this size probably won't mind going to Aaron Brothers or Michaels to have custom made mats. Anyway, again, I do love their paper.
