darryl_romm Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Hi Can anyone confirm that Epson Premium Lustre is in fact the same as Epson Premium Semi Gloss. I'm based in UK, and can't find Premium Lustre at all on the Epson UK website Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenPapai Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I would say they are the same thing as the Premium Luster paper is a semigloss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don_cooper Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 They are different papers, very similar but different, both available here in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_bay Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 The surface of the luster is a bit more pebbly. But otherwise they are pretty similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ira_wunder Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Just a note. With the new K-3 ink-set the remaining spectral highlight problem, or what may be known as the gloss differencial, and the bronzing with grayscale printing on glossy surfaces that has been highly reduced will show more on a RC paper with the most bite, may I suggest a semi-mat RC if a glossy dosen't fit the purpose.

ray Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 These are indeed two different papers. As you can see from <a href="http://www.atlex.com/epson_photo_paper.htm">this table</a>, they have different characteristics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_dendrinos1 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I have printed on both here in the US and they are different papers. They reflect light differently, they have different surfaces, and in my opinion the Luster is a nicer look. I don�t think one would run both types. I think you would select one or the other and go with it. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
