Epson S450424 Premium Luster Photo Paper 44″ x 100′ Roll

Overview :

The Epson S450424 is a professional-grade, resin-coated large-format printable photo paper roll engineered for high-volume digital print labs, commercial photographers, portrait studios, and graphic arts production teams. Designed for continuous feed paths, this media resolves common production bottlenecks such as surface glare, fingerprint marking, and sheet cockling under dense ink limits. It provides a robust substrate for gallery exhibitions, high-end wedding portraiture, commercial signage layouts, and photographic proofing.

The media features a specialized Luster E textured surface (often referred to as an orange-peel finish) on a polyethylene-encapsulated base, delivering a 260 gsm basis weight and a 10 mil structural thickness that mimics the tactile hand-feel of traditional silver halide lab prints. This finish delivers high ink absorption and a wide color gamut without producing the intense specular reflections characteristic of full-glossy stock. Its ink-retaining chemistry provides immediate instant-dry performance right off the printhead platen, permitting immediate handling and rolling onto mechanical take-up reels.

The S450424 substrate is specifically fine-tuned for wide-format aqueous inkjet architectures, ensuring precise dot gain and accurate color profiling when loaded with Epson UltraChrome pigment or archival dye ink arrays. It is natively compatible with professional large-format engines, including the Epson SureColor P-Series and Stylus Pro series. This roll features a 3-inch high-tension core configuration and is intended exclusively for aqueous inkjet printing; it must not be used with solvent, eco-solvent, or UV-curable hardware systems.
