Strengths: Superb image reproduction; resisitant to smudges, scratches and bending; can't tell the difference between this paper and traditional photo paper.
Summary: I've been in the darkroom industry for 28 years and have had my own digital darkroom for three years. I can say from experience that using Epson paper with Epson printers produces high quality, professional images. The key is using the premium grade papers. I was initially told to use regular photo paper for proofing before using the premium paper but I found that the difference in print quality was significant enough for me to rule the other paper out... a waste of time and ink.
What I really like about this paper is that you don't have to factor in new emulsion types with each new batch of paper like you do with traditional photo paper. I have found that the colors are consistent from batch to batch and between paper sizes. If you've ever done traditional darkroom work, you will understand how great that is!!!

Strengths: Great for printing photos with Epson printers, great color.
Summary: This photo paper works great with both Epson printers I currently have (RX580 and 1280) and with other Epson printers I have gotten rid of. Pictures that I have printed out are professional quality. If you have an Epson printer this is the only brand of photo paper you should use. I have tried cheaper ones and have been disappointed.

Strengths: Excellent quality print from my Epson 785EPX printer
Summary: This paper produces an excellent photo print from my Epson printer. I have tried other premium photo papers, but this is the only one that produces a print that looks like it came from a negative.
