It was exactly what i needed and they sent is ASAP. Now that's fast service!

Buying this was my first adventure in using name brand photo paper. Although I've owned a Canon Pixma 6000D printer for several years, I'd been using glossy and semi-gloss knock-off brand photo paper to save money on my many printing projects. After deciding to spring for the manufacturer's paper, I was thrilled to discover that this paper produces vivid photo prints every time. The matte finish means almost instant drying, and no smudges or streaks. For the extra money, I save time and avoid the frustration of having to tweak the printer settings to accomodate the knock-off brands. The one disadvantage of matte paper I've encountered is that you need a very sharp blade in your rotary trimmer to avoid the slight fraying of the edges that will occur with a dull blade. A dull blade is more forgiving on glossy and semi-gloss, since they have a plastic-like coating, but as long as your blade is sharp, this matte paper will give you excellent prints that trim like a charm!

This is great scrap book paper.
Its heavy weight--but its not a good choice for photo paper.
I wish they had advertised that this was scrapbook paper instead of photo paper.
I ended up running to Office Depot and getting some quality photo paper...that didn't cost me shipping ;)

I have a Hewlett-Packard printer that has always given great results with my color and black-and-white photos. I've been buying my printer photo paper at local department stores and have had good results no matter what the brand. Since I constantly seek "more bang for my buck"--without sacrificing quality--I decided to try this product.

That's part of the fun of shopping, don'tcha think?

Because of mixed reviews by Amazon's value-savvy customers, I kept my fingers crossed when ordering this photo paper. I'm not a professional photographer, so I did not do product tests; I simply compared the photos to my previous print-outs.

I can honestly report that my crossed fingers switched to "thumbs-up" the moment I saw the lovely, quality prints produced on this paper. The colors are so sharp, so true-to-life, I find myself reaching out to touch my beloved subjects ... little gestures of love that warm my heart.

Taking photographs to treasure is part of the fun of day-to-day living, not to mention vacations. I recall once when visiting Nevada, my granddaughter Melinda taught me how to "pump gas" for the very first time. We laughed when she said, "Oh, Gram-cracker"--her personal pet name for me--"I wish I had my camera. This is a Kodak moment!"

Highly recommended! Excellent results! Great value!

I have been a fan of this matte paper for a few years now and it continues to work for me. It holds the details and shades well, carries the color and looks great under glass. I usual print on the 8.5 X 11 to proof before I print to the 13 X 19.
