Comments by Outback Print Editors

Jack Flesher

My top choice for when I want a luster-surfaced paper.  It holds ink very well, so generates prints with a relatively large color gamut.  I like that it is very bright white.  Works well with color or B&W ink, though in my opinion a B&W print just doesn’t look very good when printed with this surface.

Luster papers never have been my cup of tea. Look great behind glass though.
