Easy Sunday Club thanks. I sell on Etsy and I think I made the mistake of giving customers the option to choose watercolor paper to have their prints made because most chose that. It’s expensive and not white enough. It was hard to find a good quality paper that is bright white and affordable. I may just switch all of my print paper to the one your using. www.etsy.com/Southwesternink
@@EasySundayClub They should! I bought my Epson P900 and Perfection V600 scanner based mostly on your recommendation. And I have not been the least bit disappointed in either one. :')
Thank you so much for all of this info! Really helped me as a beginner in printing watercolor. 🙏 Would you recommend the Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Matte Paper a good paper for printing greeting cards?
THanks so much for sharing your experiences! I ran into issues when printing something with lots of green. Cannot seem to get the vibrant colours I need so I will try your epson paper suggestion.
Excellent idea's! Just what Im looking for now that Im retiring and can get into "art", without actually being an "artist", using my MediaChance D.A.P. program and excellent papers like mentioned...exciting! Thank you.
Very good video thank you. My printer is a Brother printer and I am not happy with the prints. I have tried different kinds of paper . Some are better than others but I think it is my printer, not the paper.
I think you are right. There is a printer shortage right now so hard to get a good printer right now. You can see some of my prior printer review videos for reference.
Thanks for watching! We just made a video re: types of paper for greeting cards as well. We found that there are not a lot of deep dive videos about paper out there :)
I have them listed in this video where I also talk about the eco friendly options! There’s a 10% code you can use if you’re in the US. th-cam.com/video/GezOWESn0Z4/w-d-xo.html
An additional question - how archival are your inks? Do you have a video about that and also do you know anything about the canon printer and inks as well? Thanks again!
We use oem (original manufacturer) epson archival ink which is advertised to last over 100 years without fading if the print is kept under glass and away from direct sunlight. My research has found Canon makes good archival inks but the Epson may be a little more fade resistant. However other factors like care of the print and it not being in direct sunlight will play roles in the longevity of the print. Thank you for the support Carol!
Thank you so much!! I have just started watercolor painting and people have asked if I would sell prints. We just purchased a Cannon printer (although I know you use Epson). This has really helped me decide what paper to use!! Your art is amazing!!
Thanks Jean. Lots of our vids u can prob check out that will inform u of next steps: how to make greeting card, how to make art print, our art print workflow video where we go into print settings etc.
Did you try any more textured paper, like cold press? I have the same printer and my new scanner doesnt pick up the texture of the watercolour chpaper, so am going to try out various textured fine art paper to 'put back' the texture of the original! The new scanner is more accurate for colour, but the old one, in picking up the texture, has people believing that prints of mixed media prlictures are 3D!
Thank you so much for this video! Im starting to buy all of the equipement to sell my own watercolor prints. Which printer would you recomend to use for the ultra premium presentation matte? Is it compatible to use with any pro printer or how does this work? :0 thank you guys♡
Hi Ilse! Thank you for the kind words of support. Ultra premium presentation matte is thin enough that it should work with most printers. The printer we use is an Epson SureColor P800. This model has been discontinued and will soon be replaced by the SureColor P900. If you want to get the latest and greatest, wait for the P900. If you are starting out and don't want to spend too much you will be fine with a used P800, new P800, or even the prior model to that, the Epson Stylus Pro 3880. We are releasing the review of our Epson P800 printer in the next couple weeks so stay subscribed for updates. For a list of all the equipment we use here is our resources page: www.easysundayclub.com/pages/resources
I use Epson Velvet Fine Art paper for prints and it is luscious.
I have an art print business and this solved my paper dilemma. Thanks guys ❤️
This was made for creators just like you Jessica! Glad it helped. Let me know what your business name or ig is would love to check it out :)

Thank u so much for ur honest opinion. Very useful.
Thank you for the support Camilla!
This video like all your other videos is great, thank you for that comparison and costing.
Thank you Swetha!
very informative. epson needs to give u guys a sponsorship
We can only dream Neji :p

@@beverliecox4686 That's great to hear they both worked out for you like they did for us! Yes we'd love a sponsorship. ;)
Thank you so much, very helpful video!
Your welcome Mag!
Very helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this video, I really need to know this :)) I also got Epson SCP800, but I'm very new user, hope I will get well with it soon.
Amazing. Excited for your journey. :)
Thank you so much for all of this info! Really helped me as a beginner in printing watercolor. 🙏 Would you recommend the Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Matte Paper a good paper for printing greeting cards?
The ultra premium matte paper is too nice and pricey of paper to use on greeting cards imo. Regular card stock paper is thicker and better fit.
THanks so much for sharing your experiences! I ran into issues when printing something with lots of green. Cannot seem to get the vibrant colours I need so I will try your epson paper suggestion.
Yes. If not then might be the printer : / g luck!!
Hi, I recently bought the Epson Expression XP -15000. Does this all work the same way? Your video was great!
What is the weight of the ultra premium matte paper? Thank you so much for all of this info. Very informative.
192 gsm with a thickness of 10.3 mil . Most art printers should be able to handle this paper :)
Excellent idea's! Just what Im looking for now that Im retiring and can get into "art", without actually being an "artist", using my MediaChance D.A.P. program and excellent papers like mentioned...exciting! Thank you.
Wonderful! You're welcome!

wow! I've been spending way too much on my print paper! lol thank you!
You’re welcome! I printed on “fancy paper” for way too long and under priced myself 🤦🏻♀️.
I love and appreciate you guys! THANK YOU for such great information.

Curious, what tools you use to cut down larger sheets of paper?
Rotatrim paper trimmer. We did a review on it check out our past vids
@@EasySundayClub nice, i have checked out the video, and added the product to my list for a possible future purchase! ty

Does the premium paper matte have any texture on it?
It does not. It is smooth with a matte finish. There is more smooth than an office copier paper but it is uncoated matte.
"Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte " Can use with a laser printer? :D
Yes u can!
@@EasySundayClub Woow thank you so much. You reply so fast!!!
you guys are so cute
You should stop buying sheets and buy rolls. Epson sells rolls of all the papers you use , you can cut to size and it's more economical.
