It would be great and is great for photographs, but I make my own prints from my art work and it is no good for that. It is great paper, but not for what I need it for.
I use these all the time to update my portfolio book. Like all of Epson's other Ultra Premium Luster Photo Papers, this product is magnificent. The color reproduction is phenomenal, the paper thickness is great.
(I think ImagePrint does better with non-Epson papers). What I really like (as I buy another batch today) is that by simply enlarging the native image width to 10" from the native 9.4" and letting the length increase proportionally one gets a perfect center fit with a nice white border. Also, this paper's Premium ICC Profile provided by Epson for my Epson Photo R2400 gives me picture-perfect output from Photoshop CS3, even better than using the expensive ImagePrint RIP program. Superb paper. If you have a D300 and want perfect images in a convenient size for display or for giving to friends, this is it. I am not a pro, but I do print on Crane and Hahnemuehle papers as well. And the size is a perfect fit for an out-of-the-camera image from the D300. Matted and behind glass, this Epson paper certainly holds its own.
If you can afford Silver Rag, go with that, but this paper is very nice. I have printed on this paper with an Epson 3800 and 4000, and the print quality is great. Even black and white looks fantastic, and there is a minimal amount of bronzing.
When it was completely dry there was barely any sign of a water ring.infact I had to really examine the paper to see the tiny mark that was left behind. I then removed the glass, blotted the water up and let it dry. These photo papers are absolutely the best when it comes to quality printing that you want to last. I tried an experiment on the premium luster paper by setting a water glass that was sweating on a photograph I had printed and let it sit for 10 minutes or so.
