Customer Reviews

Purchased this paper to create a paper cd holder with specialized info, for a CD promo give-away at a product fair. Paper went through my HP photosmart printer without any jams or issues other than I ran out of ink. It didn't smear and folded very nicely. I was concerned going with a glossy vs a matte paper, but id worked beautifully. Paper was a little more expensive than desired, but fit the needs of my project! I was happy to find someone who actually sold it in quantities greater than 50 per package!

Even though I have an inkjet printer, I took a chance on this "laser printer" paper because I wanted something better than regular paper but less expensive than photo paper for the calendars I am making for friends and family using photos that I have taken. This is my first venture into home publishing. My printer is a Canon Pixma ix6520 and the calendars are being made from a template that was included on the printer's software. Half the 8.5x11 sheet is picture, half is calendar. All in all I am pleased with the finished product. The weight and glossy appearance of the paper is a major reason for my satisfaction.
For purposes of this review I am going to speak separately about printing text and photos with an inkjet printer.
Text. Prints very well and looks much better than on regular paper. The black letters are darker and where colored ink is use the letters are darker and brighter. Sheets come out of the printer dry, no problem with smearing, etc. No hesitation about using this paper in an inkjet printer for brochures and things that are mostly text. I am very pleased with the appearance of the calendar portion of my project.
Photos: The paper is not photo paper and you can see the difference. They are usable, and most likely I'm more critical as the photographer than those who receive the calendars will be, but I wish they were brighter and more colorful. Nevertheless, they are usable and look better than on plain paper. Whether they look better if printed with a laser printer, I am unable to say. But I did see comments in the previous reviews indicating that also with a laser printer they were less than what you get on photo paper. For best results under the circumstances use, when you can, photos that are bright and where the subject stands out from the background and has good colors. Some of the photos I had planned to use had to be replaced because they looked kind of muddy and the subject didn't stand out. Be sure to print some test sheets before starting the printing, especially if photos are included. After trying the various paper setting choices offered by the printer I found that the glossy plus or glossy photo paper setting worked the best. Photos are more ink intensive than text, but this paper seems to handle it well on my inkjet printer.
Regarding the paper, I can confirm that you can print on either side or both sides of the paper. I wasn't paying attention and discovered to my horror than the pages for a few months were 2011. Worried that I would not have enough paper I tried printing on the other side of the useless sheets and they printed just like they were fresh sheets.
To sum up, the text print quality on an inkjet printer is very good, much better than on regular printer paper. For photos, not photo paper quality but much better than on regular paper, at least on my printer. Also, the ink you use can make a difference, just as it does on photo paper.
My printer handles the weight of the paper with ease and I have had no problems with paper jams.
I'm pleased with the paper and will buy more. The quantity that you get for the price makes this paper an excellent value. It is not a replacement for photo paper (though a lot more affordable), but for brochures, calendars, etc. with all text or a combination of text and photos it is a good choice.
