Being a photographer displaying in a co-op gallery I guess it is natural that I am reproducing artwork for prints and note cards. I have printed several thousand cards for artists with outstanding results. Color is excellent and satisfies even the most critical artist. I have not had a single complaint.

Vibrant Colors

Kelly Yates, Sep 15, 2026

I absolutely love this paper! I make prints for conventions and the colors are vibrant and eye-catching. I use a Epson Ecotank ET-8550.

Beautiful Prints

Trish Zimbalatti, Sep 06, 2026

Crisp and clean with vibrant colors.

Almost perfect!

Rebecca Bellomo, Sep 02, 2026

The only flaw to my paper order was the upper right corner had a bend right on the tip of all the papers.
