Rated 5 out of 5
Stunning, thick, and detailed
I bought this paper on a lark, not knowing anything about it. I was looking for a heavy mildly textured paper that would give a "fineart' feel to my prints (Whatever that means.) This paper did just that.
I am using Lightroom 5, various Nik and Photomatix software and printing from Lightroom to a Canon Pixma Pro 100. My camera is a 24 MP Nikon 610. I set the print setting to a "Canon Matte N" paper.
To start with, this paper is thick! Card stock thick. It tends to not lie perfectly flat, but I had no problems mounting it on Foamboard. Another one that I want to frame I pressed in a large book for a day or so.
Another thing I will mention is that this paper has a distinct odor. Like cat urine. However(!), it did go away after a few days. I consider it a nuisance - not a reason to avoid it.
I printed black and white, color and tinted picutes and I wish I could convey the actual print, but suffice it to say the results are stunning. This is relatively inexpensive paper, but feels like, and looks like very expensive fineart paper. I believe on the properly selected print you will find it very rewarding.
