Olmec is our oldest promoted range of inkjet paper. In the past we have sponsored Student Photographic Competitions printed exclusively in school and colleges using their paper so we know the product is exceptional.

It is therefore quite re-assuring that Olmec rose to the challenge of introducing new products to fill the void left by Ilford.

We have been selling their award-winning Heavyweight range for 20 years. It offers excellent image quality and similarity to traditional halide prints, the unquestionable quality coming from the fact that the base of the paper is made by Mitsubishi of Japan. For everyday use, similar to Galerie Premium we would suggest their Heavyweight Photo Gloss 260gsm. However Premium Pearl did not previously have a comparative product as their Satin lacked the lustre of Premium Pearl. Now with Heavyweight Photo Lustre there is a Pearl alternative too.

Penelope R. ★★★★★

Finally got around to printing on this A2 lustre paper and the weight really makes a difference — no curling at the edges at all. The surface holds fine detail beautifully, exactly what my landscape shots needed.

Michael G. ★★★★★

I've been using this paper in my classroom for student portfolios and the lustre finish really brings out the detail in their black and white prints. It handles deep shadows well without losing the subtle midtones I was worried about. The 50-sheet pack is lasting us the whole semester.

Jason ★★★★★

The weight of this paper gives my prints a real gallery feel, and the lustre finish handles blacks without that plasticky glare. Fifty sheets of A2 for the price is a solid deal for any student or artist stocking up for a big project.
