PRAISE FOR POLAR PEARL METALLIC^™

"I began with a shot from inside Portland’s Union Station that I did last week and as the image was coming out of the printer I could hardly wait for it to finish…it rocked!!! I couldn’t believe how beautiful it was, the metallic sheen to the paper made the ceiling in the station look like it was spun gold, there was a depth that pulled me right into the scene and the color reproduction was right on."

Laurie Excell, Nature Photographer

"I did several test prints using different printers including an Epson 2200 and my favorite, the Epson Stylus Photo 2880 and the results were amazing."

Jeff Revell, PhotoWalkPro.com
