I agree -- to me the term "semi-matte" does not convey the notion of
what I perceive in (the surface of) Epson Premium Luster paper.
However, if you can actually see your face reflected in a Premium
Luster print, I'd say you have a very unusual sample--at least quite
different than my stash of that paper. In any case Premium Luster is
quite a bit more reflective than Premium Semi-Gloss, which to my eye
does have an appearance thst fits the designation of "semi-matte".
