Q: 1. is this paper acid free?

A: This paper is not acid free.

Q: 2. Is this archival quality?

A: No. I use it for proofing.

Q: 3. How does this surface compare with the now discontinued Gold Fibre Silk?

A: Its essentially just an updated version.

Q: 4. Does this replace Gold Mono Silk?

Q: 5. Hello , What is this material core size ?

A: This has a 3 inch core.

Q: 6. can this paper be printed on both sides?

A: No, it cannot. The Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Matte Inkjet Paper is not double-sided paper; it only has the matte printing surface on one side of the paper.

Q: 7. Is this paper archival?

A: It depends on what you mean by archival. (By the way, I'm an archivist, and write from that point of view.) How long something will last depends on many factors: light, atmosphere, moisture, the inks used, and how the item is stored or displayed. Epson (whose marketing doesn't use the A word) has a permanence rating chart on their web site. (B&H won't allow posting of URLs, but search those two words.) Pay special attention to the information about storage at the bottom of the page. Properly handled and conserved, your prints should last a very long time.

Q: 8. What's the closest paper to Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte that is two sided? I've tried the Epson Premium (not Ultra) and it is too thin.

A: From Epson there is no such paper. The closest thing to it from Epson is Epson Premium Presentation Paper Matte Double-Sided which you rejected on being too thin. From Moab there is a Lasal Photo Matte with a 235GSM weight, but it's just NOT as inexpensive as the Epson papers. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/502417-REG/Moab_F01_LSM235851150_Lasal_Photo_Matte_Paper.html

Q: 9. In anticipation of receiving this paper (I just ordered it), I went to Ilford's website to download the icc profile for my Canon ipf6400 printer (the description says "The paper is compatible with both dye and pigment based ink systems..." When I select the paper on Ilford's website and put in my printer and this paper combination there's no profile associated for this printer / paper combo. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

A: They may not have made a profile for the Canon IPF6400 printer. So in that case I would suggest using the closest Canon option. Canon Premium Fine Art Smooth.

Q: 10. How many pounds is this paper? Do you think it will go through the Canon Pixma Pro9000 mark ii?

A: This paper is 13mil or 310 gsm. It is within the thickness tolerance for the p9000 II.
