I doubt you will get the type of fine art results you are seeking with the Staples paper not saying it's bad paper, but just not appropriate for your needs.Īnything that says, gloss, semi-gloss or satin will not give you the desired flat mat appearance you seek.
So far just for convenience sake I've been using the Epson papers. There are a lot of great papers out there, but unless you have the specific profiles to load for your Epson printer for non-Epson papers you will get iffy to poor results. If you've read this far, you know I'm a bit lost.
(I know, this is dumb, the paper is the cheapest part, vs mat and frame.) HP Premium Plus 13x19 at about $2 - $2.50 starts to hurt. I've seen Epson Premium 13x19 at about $1.75/sheet, which is OK. The Staples paper is cheapest, $1.30/sheet. What is Luster? Sparkly?)Ĭost is a concern. Is it like matte? (Epson also has Luster. There is also Epson Premium photo paper in Semi-Gloss, but I don't know what it looks like. I have used HP Premium Plus Soft-Gloss in 8.5x11" sizes, but that finish isn't available in 13x19". The pictures will be framed behind glass, but I don't really trust the Staples paper to resist fading. Staples has no information on this, unlike Epson and HP which have apparently done testing on their papers. I tried some Staples Photo Supreme 13x19" Matte (the only paper of that size I can get locally), and they like it, but I'm not sure how well it will hold up to fading. The people who are getting the pictures like a matte finish. I personally suspect that the new papers are made by Ilford, but I can't find and proof.I'm looking for help or advice on a good 13x19" photo paper to print with my Epson Artisan 1430. If the longevity can match Canon Photo Paper Pro or Platnium, then I could claim this paper is superior than Canon's own paper.īefore someone jump out and point to the link from many many years ago bashing Staples brand paper, I can tell you the new Staples brand paper are clearly different now. The only thing I can't test is the longevity of the print on this paper. There's sligh color difference compare with Canon Pro II but hardly noticeable. The version before 2008 was made in US, 72LB, smell bad, thiner than Canon Photo Paper Pro II.
Print as good as Canon Photo Paper Pro II if not better. The latest version is made in Germany (packaged in US), started in 2008. I have exactly the same question and would like to share my experience with this paper on Canon Pro 9000 MKII for the 13x19 paper (sku 564116)īeware that there are multiple versions of this paper with same SKU number.
