AI-generated summary
If you’re doing Epson large-format work where you want that “proper fine art” look—clean gradients, controlled blacks, and a surface that doesn’t fight your ink—this UltraSmooth roll is a sensible choice. At £102 ex-VAT for a 17" roll, the cost per usable meter works out competitively versus a lot of branded art papers, and the consistency from one print to the next is the big win for anyone producing runs for galleries, photographers, or repeat client jobs. The 250gsm weight also feels substantial enough for display work without being a pain to handle on typical roll setups.
That said, it’s not the cheapest way to print, so I wouldn’t buy this if you’re mostly proofing, producing drafts, or doing high-volume posters where “good enough” media will do. Also, paper is where you either nail the look or blame the printer—so only go for this if you’re prepared to profile/line up your settings properly; otherwise you won’t get the smoothness you’re paying for. Bottom line: buy it if your output is meant to look finished and you care about print quality. Skip it if price-per-print is the priority, or if you don’t plan to dial in your workflow.
