I read the review by L. Milaychev and could not believe he was actually looking at the same paper. This has a very nice, bright MATTE coating on one side and produces very high quality prints like all of Canon's papers I have used. I actually use it in a wide format HP printer with great results. Yes, of course one can tear it, after all it is only 45lb paper. On the other hand, it is also not very expensive for a large format paper that produces such great prints. Canon also makes much heavier papers at a higher price, if that is what is desired.

I have been purchasing this paper for years to use for everything from small crafts to posters for community and school events. We have a Cannon i9900 printer and this paper works extraordinarly well with this ink jet. The colors are vibrant and crisp. Blacks are saturated and rich.

This is NOT photo paper and should not be advertised as such. This is a thick grade of regular paper. If you want to print photos, I suggest purchasing Canon's pricier "pro" papers, which are more in line with what you would get if you printed your photos at any commercial outlet. This paper will do fine for school projects or business presentations.

This paper is thin. I printed a picture of a sunset and the paper came out wavy as if it was over saturated with ink. Yes, all of the settings were correct on my printer (canon pro 9000). I have not had this type of problem with other photo paper, but for the price you get what you pay for.

As for which side to print on, it says you need to print on the "whiter" side. That's impossible to figure out if the room lighting isn't super white. I use my bathroom lighting to figure out which side is correct.

I use Canon products from the first shot off of my EOS Rebel digital SLR to the download, into touch-up and finally, to an excellent full size print off of my Canon Pro 9000 printer.

Another reviewer insists that this is not matte paper. I don't know what that person was expecting but this looks like matte to me. It looks like thick paper and doesn't have the glossy finish of the paper used to print photos. There is no trademark on the back like photo paper but only one side is white. The other side is an off-white or taupe but you could probably print on that side as well. I'm using this paper on an HP Officejet 7000 and it works perfectly well. And it's priced right.

We use this paper cut down for 8" x 12" Digital SLR Camera prints. The paper is exactly as advertised. Too bad no one seems to think there is a home market for medium to large photo papers matting and frames in 3:2 aspect ratio.

This paper enables very detailed colorful prints in a great size. Good Quality for your moneys worth.

Some wear and tear from shipping and handling on the packaging containing the paper, though the paper wasn't damaged.

I use this size paper for stained glass patterns. It suits my needs well.
