Beautiful. Who would've thunk. The paper makes all the difference.
Thank you so much for doing this video. I can't wait to check my paper in the morning to see if this is also my problem.
omg holding two papers next to eachother to find the whiter side was life saving, i'm over here confused which side looks whiter lol . thanks!
OMG I just saved and saved and finally bought myself an Epson printer a couple of weeks ago, THEN you did a video telling us all about the best deal ever on the best paper ever for our printers at B&H so I ended up getting 10(TEN)packs at $5ea! With free shipping! And now I see this video! This is awesome! I just set up my new printer and haven't printed yet on it. So this is perfect! Thank you so much for taking the time to do a video on this!
Thank you, I recently brought this paper and realized the the difference in the two sided. Decided to buy the two sided for my digitals.
Thank you for the much needed info! Have a great weekend!
Thank you for a very good video for those of us who want to upgrade out printers and paper. Xx
OMG thank you so much, I've been struggling so much with the quality !!
Glad I could help!
Great explanation and review!!! Very clear and helpful.❤
I have the same printer. Thank you for this video. It has been a great help to me. Hugs!!
Thank you so much Dawn, that’s so very helpful and useful. I really will be having a look at the internet and see what I can find. xxxx Mags
Thank you! Great explanation!!!
What a great video. I learned a lot!
Thank u so much for this video, im still trying to figure out the process and tools for doing this, and im so happy i clicked on this video, so helpful!!!❤❤
I am so glad you did this video. Just yesterday (NO KIDDING) I was printing out a few pages for the journal I'm working on. I noticed that one print was perfect with a lot of detail and great color. The next few of the same image, (from ArtyMaze btw) was not the same quality. I couldn't figure out why. My ink was full, I adjusted my settings of my printer for the best quality printing. So now because of this info. I now know my paper isn't double sided! TYFS! :)
I cannot thank you enough!! I just bought the Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Matte paper. Was confused as to which side was white (terrible lighting in the middle of the night), so I looked on Amazon under the Q&A section for questions regarding the proper side. I kid you not, every single person who asked "which side is correct?" was told to print on the smoother side. There was such conviction there that I thought that surely must have been the right side! Five failed prints later, hours scanning the internet, and buckets of tears of frustration later I find this video. My jaw-dropped when I heard you say it was the rough side to print on. I jumped out of bed and did one last print. The difference is night and day and it looks SO much better than the horrible prints I'd made earlier. Should have tested it on the other side, but I was worried about ruining the printer! (Ironic that I was potentially "ruining the printer" that whole time before haha!)
I'm so glad it helped you! 🤗💙
tank you so much for sharing !!!!!!!
Thank you so much!!!!!!! Your video was the answer I needed. I have an Epson printer, I have the Epson paper (one sided) and couldn’t figured out what the problem was with my prints! I was always using the paper out of the plastic bag the wrong side! Yes its clear as day which side is the WHITEST!!! I too didn’t read the enclosed papers :-( I am so grateful for your video I love to print and cut with my Silhouette Cameo!!! Thank you, Thank you!!!
Will have to check this out here in Australia. Thank you for the information. Sue💜
Thank you for the info on the two sides. I saw a different video, of yours, where you told about the difference. What I do is when I open a new pack, I do not take the whole stack of paper out. The whole stack is put in there with either the brightest up or the other. Pull 1 sheet out of the stack and turn the second over and determine which side is the brightest and write on the clear sleeve, this side up or the whitest and pull them out in that order. Just keep them together and put straight in the printer, with white side down. Also that info sheet said not to get this paper wet. I have not tried to tea dye. Thanks again for all your info. Very helpful
Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this info! 🤗
Thanks so much for this video Dawn, I noticed that everyone was screaming out for this information! It's so hard to get the combo of papers verses settings correct! 😊❤
Thank you so much! Great short cut
Thank you, great information.
Thanks so much for sharing this info! 🙋🏼🍷😘
Great info. Thanks for sharing 🌴😍
I got my paper order today and did a test run. It really DOES make a difference. TFS!
It sure does!
@@thebookvandalshop5592 Thank you again for the info. Keep on with the great video's. Very much appreciated. And love the promoting others idea too.
Thanks so much for this excellent info, I will be shopping around for better prices instead of just ordering from epson. I also did not know anything about single sided and double sided I just know the quality of the paper makes such a big difference I just got my printer about 3 months ago and I am loving it. I figured out what I was spending on ink refills and decided I could have this printer payed for in under a year by not having to buy refill ink. So Thanks a bunch for sharing. Take Care
Hugs and Smiles
Thank you for the video. I also have a Epson 2650 I also will have to check my paper. I also thought maybe it was my settings. I have not downloaded any digi's yet but I have tried printing some of my own papers and pictures and I just wasn't happy with it. Will do some checking. Thanks again.
Great information thank you🙂🙂👍💗
Thanks you, It is very helpful info.
Thanks for sharing ☺👍
Thank you!, I used this papers & I knew about the the one sided, what I didn’t know is that there is double sided, paper, some times I make a mistake on positioning the paper LOL! Will start buying the double sided
Thanks Dawn😉
Thanks Dawn for this video. I have a couple of digital kits yet I haven't printed any of them as I was also wondering what printer and paper will give me the best results. Thanks to your video, I am not ready to print my digikits 🙂
OMG! What a helpful video! Thank you I bought the Epson Eco Tank printer....ok uses less ink, but still not as good. Then I bought this same paper......yes one-sided...on sale on Amazon last week $5.99. So I bought a bunch....not realizing it was single sided.....I have a hard time deciding which side to print, duh....your idea is brilliant.....I thought I was smarter but nope! I am going right back to my craft room & checking this out! BUT wait.......not before I went to that website of yours yup....on sale....plus the ink is cheaper....bingo! Thanks so much! Gotta finish my order! I have learned so much from all of you wonderful crafters! I am making better journals....of course practice makes perfect but what gives me so much more is the positive feedback! Everyone helps everyone! There is no competition! Everyone is genuine! Amazing! Love making these journals & love all of my wonderful crafter “friends”! Thanks again!
Awww! It's comments like these that make me remember why I do what I do on here. Thank you 💜
Thank you very much!
So informative - I have an HP printer and the cartridges are ridiculous. Bought long before the instant ink was available and of course my model isn't on that program. I did discover better prints with presentation paper but haven't tried weights that high. This should be very helpful to those who struggle with ink refills. Love printing but hate the cost.
I asked on an earlier video about your printer and I took your advice. I bought the Epson ET3760 and some of the Epson Premium Presentation papers and I love how my papers look now. Thank you so much.
Oh good! Glad you are getting great results!! 💜
where did you but your printer/ink? TY
Diane Goolsby I ordered it from Amazon, the cost was about the same everywhere I looked but I have Prime.
TheBookVandalShop ❤️
Best Buy and Office/Max are about equal price as well. You will love one!!!!
Thanks for this really helpful information 😁I had an Epson ET 7700 for Christmas couple of years ago and it’s out of date already but I love being able to keep printing virtually forever without having to refill the tanks. My papers seem to print out quite dark - I’ve got this same Vectoria Designs kit. I’m going to order this paper and see if it helps 🤞 P.S. I’m ordering on Amazon and at the moment it’s cheaper to by it from the US ‘Fulfilled by Amazon’ than from the UK, even when you take import and taxes into account!
I bought my Epson ET2700 last September, after I spent more than $200 in about 4 months buying replacement cartridges for my previous Epson. It had gotten to the point where I was having to buy new color cartridges every week! I've printed hundreds of pages with my ET2700 since then, and the ink isn't even 1/4 gone! I use different paper than you do, but it's also premium white presentation paper, in two different weights (60 and 80 lb) depending on what I'm printing.
BlaizC what paper do you use BlaizC? I am really liking the 48 lb presentation paper. I think it makes my journals so much better & looks better too.
@@cheryl2455 I use Hammermill paper because it's whiter than the others I've tried. I use the 20 pound copy paper (not printer paper), and 60 and 80 pound cardstock, depending on what I'm printing. I also have some 100 pound cardstock left over from my cardmaking days, but I don't know what brand it is. It's not as white as the Hammermill paper.
Thnx for this 👍
Ty for this video! So helpful. I have HP Inject printer . My images are horrible, I feel it’s my paper . Not sure what to get or weight of paper. I heard the weight makes a difference as well . Ty
This paper is supposed to work for all inkjet printers, not just Epsons. Maybe give it a try and see if it helps?
Thank you so much for explaining this, please could you explain how to design a digital kit. Jackie from the uk
Hi. I'm sorry I don't know anything about designing digital kits. Have never done that before
TFS!!! This was so informative! I have an Epson printer also and am not impressed with the color. Now I Know!!!
Is there a glossy epson paper that does have a water mark or logo on the back? 8.5 x 11 size?
Thank you , I just ordered
my paper. Now to figure out the settings 🤨lol
If you can, use a presentation paper setting as your paper, and typically standard quality works great as high quality just saturates the paper with more ink
TheBookVandalShop thank you I will do that . I have the Epson ET 3760 so I’m sure this will be the ticket . I’m so glad I found your channel
Love this video, thank you. We are not able to get this in Australia and to purchase it on Amazon can cost over $100 for 1 pack.
Thank you for this video!! I have the hardest time figuring out what side paper to use as well. I considered just buying the double sided even though my 2550 only prints one side 😂😂
Seems you may have the newer model of the printer I have and was wondering if you’d do a video sharing what settings you use when printing your digitals.
Thanks again!!
My printer only prints one side too. You just have to turn your papers around after the 1st print and put back in the printer and print on the blank side the way you would a new sheet of paper. You just have to pay attention to which way "up" is when the printer spits it out so you can make sure you load it back in the right way "up".
I just make sure I choose "presentation paper" in the print menu and I use standard quality.
High quality only saturates the paper with more ink and isn't necessary
@@thebookvandalshop5592 I'm glad you wrote the settings because I didn't think I heard what Andrea helped you figure out within the settings! Thanks for a great video.
Hello how do you know which Epson papers don't have their name printed on the backside of the paper??
Hi dear I hope you will see this even though i am writing a year after you released the video..i want to ask if you know what type of paper has a texture that feel almost velvety, its very matte I guess you could say..and I have seen other women use it to print ephemera in the junk journal i bought from them. And I want to buy that paper but I cannot figure out what kind of paper it is so hopefully you may know what it is thanks
Is the printable with the corner pocket with a butterfly on it from cectoria designs and if it is do you know which kit it is.thanks
I forgot to put the link in my description box. Thanks for the reminder

Hi. Thank you for this video. I am going to be getting an Epsom eco tank and this is such Useful information! Question I have is, have you ever dyed any of this paper and then printed on it? Thank you so much again for the video. X-Susan
I have not. So i cant give any advice on that
What exactly do you have your printer printing options set on? I have tried every possible setting and it still does not print as good as my hp printer. I see that you set it on Presentation Paper/normal, but do you change the other settings?
Thank you.
Im not sure what the "other settings" are you mean. I just make sure that both the printer and the settings on my computer screen say "Presentation Paper Matte" and I use "standard" setting. I get beautiful results with this paper and those settings. Sorry if that doesn't help answer your question. I'm not the most tech savvy of people ☺
It seems that they are the same price. Is there a reason why you wouldn't just get the double sided?
Great video. Your supplier does not ship to Australia :( and it so hard to find
Sorry for that! Perhaps Epson ships to Australia. I occasionally buy it directly through them.
Another quick question, I have the double sided paper but does it matter which side I print on or are they the exact same?
On the double sided paper, you can print on both sides of the paper and in no particular order. They are exactly the same. If your printer doesn't have the double sided printing option, just run the blank second side back through your printer again and voila!
@@thebookvandalshop5592 Okay I figured it all out thank you!
👍
Question, this paper smudges for me even after like 3 days of drying from my hand oils but very easily, is that a problem everyone has?
Never had that problem and I use it exclusively. Are you putting it through an inkjet or a laser? Are you printing on the correct side. Also use standard quality. High quality or photo settings will put down way to much ink
@@thebookvandalshop5592 I'm using inkjet and I was using standard printing settings from files which I think is the problem, I'm currently downloading the driver for it and I was using the whiter side
Well hope it works for you. Sorry I'm not much help. It really is a great paper and changed by digital printing from meh okay to fabulous.
Is the matte presentation matte paper coated?
Yes it is. There's a single sided and double sided option. Right now, a pkg of double sided with 50 sheets is on sale at B&H Photo website for $7.99 !
@@thebookvandalshop5592 Thank you. I've actually used it before and it looked beautiful but it scratched easily.
how often do you have to replace your ink.
Epson estimates that you can get 7500 black and white printouts, and 6,000 color printouts. I've been using mine for months, have printed hundreds of pages, and I haven't even used 1/4 of the ink. The replacement ink isn't even more expensive than the cartridges I used to use, so that's even better.
Just like BlaizC said, it's not often at all and when you do, it's super cheap. All 4 colors cost about 45$ total. And you print TONS.
Be aware. When my printer hit 3499 pages Epson shut it down and a message came across my little window stating that my waste ink pad was full!! 😤😡😱. And to contact Epson. Did that. My printer was registered the minute you set it up to a computer. They knew my name, everything. Pay shipping to send it to them or throw it. Cheaper to buy the Et-2750. Still love my Epson
@@lornamikkelson5690 Thanks for that info. Now, I won't be shocked when it happens to me. I won't be too upset, though, since I will have saved a lot of money using it instead of the replacement cartridges for my older Epson. I think I only got about 100 prints from the $200 I spent on cartridges before I bought the ET2700.
What about printing on cardstock? Will the printer print on heavy paper?
I have put both 65# cardstock and thin vellum through this printer without issue.
I usually print on 60#, 80# or even 100# cardstock (leftover from my card making days) and they all work great. The only problem I had was with ink jet transparencies -- I had to tape it onto a carrier sheet to get it to go through the printer.
TY for your video--I NEEDED THIS SOOOOO MUCH!! I'm about ready to drop-kick my Cannon All In One out the door! It scans OK; it copies beautifully--BUT I don't use these features very much--I NEED A GOOD PRINTER to print out digital kits for JJs. Cannon even helped me download one of their 'premium' programs to print out these. It WAS a little better but still not the quality of everyone else's prints. So I'm taking your advice about this double sided paper from bhphotovideo.com. So even if it doesn't improve my Cannon printer's digi's quality I'm going to get an Epson eco printer at my first opportunity. I was going to order some SINGLE SIDED too but it was over 2 times as much s the DOUBLE SIDED paper so I'll use the DS'ed for pockets/tags too--no brainer--ssssoooo long story-long------THANK YOU!!!!!
Yes sometimes the double-sided is cheaper. But pay attention to the page count of the package. Most of the time, the single sided box is double the amount.
omg the prize in Denmark is three to four times as high....
😔sorry for that....
@@thebookvandalshop5592 I'll try using some matte photo paper and see what happens :)
Laser printer???
No, it's an inkjet
Thank you
