UltraPro Luster 300

Photo Grade Inkjet Paper
34 Reviews

UltraPro Luster produces professional quality results and works with virtually any type of photographic subject. UltraPro Luster looks like traditional photo lab paper. Because it is heavier and thicker than a lab paper, your prints will feel more substantial and will resist handling wear. A relative of our best seller, UltraPro Satin, this paper features a deep luster texture to enhance your prints without being a distraction. UltraPro Luster is a brilliant bold white, which means it is particularly good at reproducing deep blacks and higher contrast. You will see a wider color gamut as well as smoother tonal transitions. Your black & white photos will be neutral and crisp.

Excellent Luster Paper
I've used UltraPro Satin for some years now and still think that it's great value for the money. But since UltraPro Luster has been available, I've switched nearly completely to it. I use it in 24" wide rolls and in a few other sizes. This is terrific paper, thicker than UltraPro Satin and easier to handle. It has feeling of depth and both color and b/w prints turn out beautifully. The paper is very white, so consider that when selecting mats for display. UltraPro Luster is not inexpensive, but is well worth the cost.

UltraPro Luster 300

David Halgrimson, Sep 14, 2026

This is great paper for use in general printing. The colors are strong, the details sharp, the presentation excellent. I have used it for competitions and it definitely makes my images stand out above others.

Great paper

Alan Linde, Sep 02, 2026

I bought the 17x25 size luster paper and so far have used it just to print a panorama (actually I could fit 2 copies on one page). I'm extremely happy with the result. I really like the luster finish which allows great detail but without too much reflectivity.


Love Luster

William Baker, Aug 29, 2026

I especially like the luster surface of this paper - it's not dull like a true mat surface is. On the other hand, the luster surface provides a sort of glow that still reveals wonderful detail in the photo. Also, I like the weight of t;he paper.
