Paper quality is different from the last time I purchased

First of all Adorama's Projet Rag 300 Cool Tone is the same product as Inkpress Rag 300 Cool tone. Same packaging inside and exterior minus the name brand with Inkpress being a little more costly. After man years of being satisfied with the Projet Paper (Inkpress) I made a test recently from one batch of paper I had I bought a few months to a year ago and a recent purchase of both Project and Inkpress of the same quality. The older paper (Adorama Projet brand) printed more clearly with more detail and less grain. The new ones from both Inkpress and Adorama Projet printed exactly the same and both inferior to my older paper by Adorama. Unbelievable how the quality has diminished. At the same time we are seeing some of the Projet brand being discontinued as well as some of Inkpress's. I wish they wouldn't just try to sell this stuff off. Since I run a business built on quality art prints this makes my business look bad for those that notice the diminished quality of my prints. The biggest problem is there aren't many options for this 300gsm 27 mil category that is also double-sided. I print art trading cards so I need both sides. Very unhappy with my latest purchase and looking for another brand elsewhere. I have been purchasing this paper since 2012.

Nice Thick textured paper

Used this product for my portfolio. I wanted more of a watercolor rag that would work in my printer. It isn't as textured as I thought it would be, but it still worked out great. It was difficult for my epson 1400 to feed, but it did work, and the images looked fantastic!

My Favorite of all heavy photo rag paper

I use Inkpress rag cool tone 300 to make high quality ACEO watercolor prints. I use Inkpress, Moab entrada natural 300 and Hahnenuhle matt 310 gsm and choose Inkpress as my favorite! Although the others work and have a wonderful weight and hand (feel) and all are very much like 140 lb. watercolor paper as far as the feel in the hand goes, Inkpress delivers more consistent, well defined, truer color prints.

Excellent if you know what you are doing

This is a great dual sided paper, very heavy and excellent to make a 11x14 portfolio without any acetate pages. I'm printing on an Epson R2400 with a CIS ink system. Due to the fact that the paper IS VERY STIFF AND THICK you can NOT USE THE REGULAR PAPER FEED! The only ways to load this paper is either using the front loading option or feeding it from the back. The front option is not so good since the printhead is elevated and the output is not in 'focus' sharp as normally. In my experience the best results are made by feeding the paper from the rear by the help of the paper feed attachment. You basicly feed it in manually till the printer catches it and moves it to the right position. This does only work with larger cut's such as 11x14. Please be aware that one side of the paper is smoother that the other.

Great Paper, Misleading Quantity

Great with my Epson 2200 too, but for whatever reason Inkpress includes only 25 physical sheets in the box, even though they say 50. Maybe they count both sides....?

Awesome quality

Use it for follow up cards to clients. Great because it is matte and you can handwrite on it, nice heavy stock. Only problem is that it's time consuming to print because my printer Epson 2200 will only take it if I hand feed it.

too thick to print

This product is too thick to print!! I tried to print it out by my brand new Epson printer, however, failed MANY times. In addition to the thickness, the paper was not straight, but curved. Because of these two reasons, it stuck at the printer's feeding slit and made me stressed out. The tones, also, are not sharp as I expected. The only good point of this product is the rareness. It is uncommon that paper's weight is 300 grams and it is both printable. If you really need VERY thick and both-sided paper, this is the one.
