I was happy with this paper until I got the Ilford Galerie Smooth Gloss paper and it can not compare. Good value at Costco which used to sell it in a pack of 100 for $20 but for eye popping results go with Canon or Ilford glossy paper. More expensive but you get what you pay for.

I use this photo paper to make flip calendars. It is the only product I've found so far that allows me to print glossy photos on one side and the calendar on the back side. The only problem I've had is that the photos tend to fade overtime.

I shot about 4.000 pictures within the last 3 months and printed over 1.200 of them. What paper do I use? This is one! It is my absolute favorite! Not only do I achieve an unbelievable color accuracy and picture quality but also the price is unbeatable! Sure, there are papers out there that are thicker and have a glossier finish but why would you want pay twice as much for that? Or more importantly, why do you need thicker paper and a glossier finish? 50 sheets for about $15 is as good as it gets! Generally I recommend Epson paper over HP, Kodak and Canon. Stay away from Staples and Hammermill paper. I use a HP 7760 printer and a Sony F717 camera.

I printed quite a few pictures for my daughters and after 3 to 4 months the color faded so fast you can barely see the pictures any longer. I have used the HP 4X6 paper and this has never happened with HP.

There are many other papers available but, for the price, this is the best I have found for most photographs. A large variety of other papers are available for special applications or gallery prints but for everyday use, this one is best for Epson printers.

This photo paper works great. I am able to print on both sides when making cards. Excellent photo paper for the money.

I have never been a big fan of Epson papers, this one is
no exception. Has a tendency to deform even under 200 ppi.
For unbeatable quality get the HP premium photo matte. That
paper rocks !
