Premium Matte paper

2005-02-20 by Paul Roark

I uploaded a few curves for Premier Art's Premium Matte paper and UT2.  The
paper prints rather well on the C86 with sliders at 0.

 

Premier Matte is the bargain acid free paper.  Photo Warehouse has it priced
at $12.95 of 50 letter-size sheets.  This is for the 210 gsm, 11.2 mil
version.  See http://www.photowarehouse.biz/premier.html.   There is also a
thinner version.

 

The paper has a dmax of 1.7.  Among acid free papers, only Photo Rag can
match it.  Not bad for a paper that is priced down at the EEM level.  For
your snapshots that might end up in family albums, I think EEM ought to be
avoided. 

 

Premier Matte is very bright white and prints cold.  It reminds me of old
Brightcube Eclipse Satine, Moab Entrada BW, and Condor (all the same
coatings).  By the way, Photo Warehouse also bought the old Eclipse
inventory from the Brightcube liquidation and has that paper at bargain
prices. 

 

Premier Matte is coated on both sides.  The convex side is a bit smoother.

 

The paper comes in all the usual sizes, including rolls.
