I recently picked up a refurb Epson R1800 printer. I've been printing with the Premium Photo Paper Glossy, and am happy with the output.
I normally prefer matte, so picked up some 11x14 Premium Presentation Paper Matte. I am very unhappy with it so far. The colors are fine, but it seems that the has lower detail--details are missing when I print on the Matte paper that show up on glossy paper. This doesn't make sense to me, as I use Lightroom for both, with the same settings outside of paper size & paper type.
It's possible I could be printing on the wrong side of the paper, as it's difficult to tell the difference. I'm sure I'm not taking into account something simple. I also realize I'm probably not giving enough information.
I'm also surprised that the paper feels more like "construction paper" than a photo paper.
Does anyone prefer other matte papers?
Thanks...
