#Staples photo supreme paper double sided matte plus#

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'm looking for help or advice on a good 13x19' photo paper to print with my Epson Artisan 1430.
