5.0 out of 5 stars Best glossy I've used for HP 900 series., August 16, 2002

I've tried numerous papers on my aging HP 970 CXi and HP 930C printers, and for glossy prints Kodak Ultima is by far the best. The paper is thick, heavy, and relatively durable. Even heavy black areas dry quickly. Greyscale looks like greyscale, not like sepia as it does on many other papers. Colors are vibrant with sharp edges, and true to the original, especially when the saturation is boosted one notch in the print driver. I have not been able to test the paper on other printers, but if it's anything like this you won't be dissapointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing photo quality paper., December 19, 2002

I use an Epson Photo 780 and I take my photographs seriously, so Kodak was my first choice and I expected the best quality from them. Although I own an EOS D30 digital camera, I still prefer to use Kodachrome in my EOS 5 and prefer Kodak paper for my analog prints.

I was both surprised and disappointed to find I got better results from the Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper and the Jet Print Professional Photo Paper, Superior Glossy Finish (International Paper). The color looks good on the Kodak paper and I love the thickness of this stock, but the finish is not as smooth and photo-finish like as the other two papers. The images on this paper look like they were computer printed with inkjet; a slight embossed appearance, when viewed from the edge. With the other two papers, the photos have a perfectly smooth surface and feel like they were analog photo printed. In addition, in my experience the Jet Print paper from International Paper was considerably less expensive too!

As a non-pro I've tried just about every type of paper offered at the retail "giants" and have found KODAK ULTIMA to be the best. Unfortunately it is not available in my area at this time. I hope Kodak has not discontinued this line of paper. I used to find the 8 1/2 x 11 ULTIMA at SAM'S all of the time. Now I cant find it available even at AMAZON.
