As a full-time artist, I've been making art prints of my paintings for over 15 years. I share the best paper for art prints (best because it balances affordability with quality results). So it is one of my favorites with one exception... watch to learn about this paper for fine art prints and save money when you are making art prints at home or in your studio.
If you're wondering what is the best paper for art prints or which is the best matte paper for wall art prints, then this video will help!

⚠ Correction: In this video, I talk about both Epson Premium Presentation Paper Matte and Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte and refer to them as archival. I’ve since learned that neither paper is officially labeled archival or acid free by Epson. That said, I’ve used them for over 10 years with great results — no fading, and many of my prints from 2007–2008 made with the Ultra version still look perfect today. If you need certified archival paper, check out Epson’s Hot Press Bright or Cold Press options. All are linked below.
