Photo paper roll Epson SureLab Pro Paper Luster 285 g/m², 12" (1 roll)

Epson SureLab Pro Paper Luster 285 g/m² is a 12" photographic paper roll designed for professional photo printing and photo-lab workflows. The heavy-weight media combines a luster finish with a gloss level above 12% at 60°, a paper weight of 285 g/m² and a thickness of 240 µm to deliver images with wide color gamut and accurate color reproduction. The base is PE extrusion around a paper core and the paper offers high brightness and neutral tint values that support faithful skin tones and vivid color gradients for gallery prints, proofs and retail photo products.

Advantages

This photo paper roll provides stable handling in roll-fed printers, consistent surface finish and reduced glare from the luster coating while maintaining rich blacks and fine detail. Its heavy weight and 240 µm thickness give prints a substantial feel and resistance to curl, and the high brightness supports precise tonal range and contrast. The absence of a backprint increases flexibility when producing a variety of print products.

When producing gallery or retail products, perform test prints to confirm color accuracy and finish before large batch runs.
