Review: MATTE WAS MY PREFERENCE IN TRADITIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY:
It has always been my preference to have pictures done on a matte medium. While using traditional pictures especially if you like I did switched to the APS format, you could no longer get a matte finish. Since I have gone digital, the only papers, that I have seen have been glossy, so this was a pleasant surprise.A CO-WORKER WHO IS ALSO A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER, INTRODUCED ME TO THIS PAPER:
Knowing I used many reams of paper in glossy prints but really liked matte, a co-worker told me of this matte finish ink jet paper and showed me a photo he had done. Wow! He had the Epson 890 like I did, so I had to run out and get some of this amazing paper. His daughter in the photo, was wearing a red dress and it was amazing in depth of color. MY TEST SHOTS WERE PHENOMENAL:
I was not dissappointed in the results. Though I have used it only on a couple of shots (I consider my test shots), I was amazed at the crispness of the photo. Only time will tell how well it lasts. I plan to subject some to the ultimate test (for me) hung on my office wall without a frame. I'll write back and tell you how it did. NO GLARE MEANS THE PICTURE JUMPS RIGHT OUT AT YOU:
What I particularly like about matte pictures is the lack of glare. You don't have to get the right angle to view it. Also there is almost a 3D effect since you don't see the surface of the paper to make it flat. That is really nice. MATTE IS CHEAPER THAN GLOSSY:
Matte paper at 50 pages per sheet cost also about the same of 20 sheets of glossy paper.. That too is a good thing.

Summary: Urban legends... color fading.
Review: Multiple forums have postings with a very similar tone: "there have been numerous reports of color deterioration, usually (insert color here) after several weeks". Well folks, having used up 20 packages of this paper, I can only offer one comment: bunk. The paper, ink and color quality are superb. Pictures I have hung on the wall look the same as they did a year ago. People can NOT tell they are from an inkjet printer and assume they are from a photo lab. This is great paper. Just use Epson cartridges. I am shooting 2.4M photos from an Olympus 2500 and the results on an Epson 870 with this paper are nothing short of spectacular.

Summary: Great Matte Paper
Review: This is great paper. I primarily use my printer to make prints of my digital pics. I cannot stress enough how much better they look on this paper. High quality paper makes all the difference in the world when it comes to inkjet printing. I've tried quite a few different brands of paper, and I have fallen in love with the Epson line. The pictures turn out sharp, rich and clear. The difference between matte and glassy paper is important to note. Glossy is exactly what it sounds like, it's shiny paper like the kind they use for your 5x7 prints. Matte paper is flat, not shiny. It doesn't reflect and is great for large pictures. The only downside of the paper is that it does turn colors with time :-(. Epson says that if you keep them in an airtight package, say behind glass, they won't turn as quickly. Mine did in about a year and a half, but they were simply held in a stack, and not behind glass or in a sheet protector. All that being said, it is good paper and my machines prints well on it. I do think, however, that the glossy paper may stand up to time better.

Summary: Great prints, but risky
Review: This paper produces outstanding prints with Epson Photo printers, but there have been numerous reports that the images tend to turn orange over a fairly short time; supposedly, Epson's cyan ink reacts with atmospheric ozone when printed on this paper. Epson is aware of this problem, and is working on a more stable version of this paper. They are also quietly accepting returns of printers and media from customers complaining about the orange-shift effect. I've used this paper a bit, and haven't noticed any problems yet, but your mileage may vary.

Summary: The second best computer photo paper
Review: Until a few months ago, this was by far the best quality paper available for printing photos with a good photo printer, such as the Epson Stylus Photo 870. Print contrast, brightness, resolution, and color saturation, are excellent. The paper also works very well with black and white photographs. The blacks are remarkably deep and rich. Epson warns purchasers that the prints made with this paper are not as permanent as those made with conventional photographic papers, and it is important to protect the finished prints by putting them in albums or frames, and of course they must be kept away from direct sunlight. But Epson has now upstaged this paper with the new Epson ColorLife Paper. ColorLife is a semigloss paper that is generally superior to Premium Glossy, in terms of color saturaton and fine detail. And ColorLife is said to be much more resistant to fading.
