Metallic prints
Michael Wise, Sep 06, 2026
This is by far the best and my favorite paper to put my Sunset prints on. You are always top notch for my printing needs.
Great for dark photos
Emanuel Ferm, Aug 25, 2026
I used this paper for the first edition of a hobby project of mine, in which I send prints of photos I make to friends who are kind enough to indulge me. The dynamic range so nice: I printed a fairly dark photo and I got great shadow detail out of it. Multiple recipients also specifically complimented the paper!
Spectacular

I print with an Epson P5000, and this paper simply blows people away!
