Epson Premium Luster 260gsm

Epson Premium Luster 260gsm delivers professional photo lab quality at large format. An RC (resin-coated) paper at 260gsm with a luster orange-peel texture, it produces highly saturated, high-contrast prints with a D-Max that matches what you'd see from a traditional silver halide lab — deep blacks, brilliant whites, vivid colour. The luster finish handles fingerprints and glare better than full gloss while retaining the sheen and impact that flat matte papers can't provide.

The RC base gives prints a photographic feel, dimensionally stable, cockle-free, and instant-drying. At 97% ISO brightness with full dye and pigment ink compatibility, it's the go-to when a client wants their photography to look exactly like a professional print — the kind of output a portrait studio, wedding photographer, or commercial photographer would deliver to a client.

At GPP, Epson Premium Luster is one of our most popular papers for portrait work, event photography, and commercial print orders. It balances visual impact, longevity, and the familiar photo-paper feel that clients instinctively recognise as "quality" when they pick up the print. If you're printing for a client who doesn't have a specific paper preference, this is often the safest choice.
