This is great paper for photos! For those not using a Kodak printer (which are also very highly recommended), the extra length is not a problem - you just need to format your own printer, using directions from Kodak's website. The extra space allows for easier handling if you do not want finger smudges on your beautiful prints. Perforations are there so that you can tear off the excess paper.

These prints last so long, and the paper is Kodak quality, producing great pictures!

I use this paper all the time for my competive photos for the Model Horse show hobby. On my HP Photosmart Printer they come out crisp, clean and perfect! I use no other paper with the occasional exception of HPs premium paper which isn't as good as this paper in thickness and durability.

I have a Canon IP3000 and had no problems using this paper. Unlike many reviewers, I am very satisfied with the quality and even the size. The size is 4x6.5, but it's a benefit really, because you don't end up touching the photo when it has finished printing. Instead of smudging the ink or leaving a fingerprint on the photo that extra room along the side or bottom helps... and can easily be cut away later. My pictures look as perfect as they did on the days they were taken and to me, that is satisfying enough to earn it 5 stars.

I got this paper to use with the Kodak C310 photo dock and the paper has no borders to tear off like the ones that came with the camera so the dock will not pull the paper through and keeps saying paper error.

I ran out of Canon Photo Pro Paper while printing my vacation pics, and had a 20 piece trial pack of the Kodak Ultima Picture Paper that I broke out to try. I printed the same picture on both papers and the Kodak doesn't even come close to the quality of the Canon! Both papers were supposed to be glossy, but the Kodak is almost matte. The Kodak paper also seemed to be more pixellated looking, while the Canon paper is photo lab quality. I do not recommend Kodak Ultima Picture Paper (unless you are getting it near free, and giving the pictures to someone you don't really like that much).

I have been using Epson high gloss paper on my Epson Photo RX500 printer and have been delighted with the results. I forget, now, why I ever bought this Kodak paper but when I got around to using it just now I hated the results. As noted by other reviewers, it's 6.5 inches long, not 6 inches. And the image results are flat and washed out compared with the prints I've been getting with Epson high gloss paper. I guess I could spend the day fiddling w/settings to see if I could claw back some of the image quality I've lost by switching to a different paper but why bother? I am going to use this paper for "test prints" and go back to Epson for stuff I want to keep.

I don't know if it's just the pack of paper I got, but these sheets of photo paper are not really 4x6. They're more like 3.5x7. This is extremely annoying when trying to print to 4x6 because it cuts off the top of the picture and then leaves white space on the end of the picture. For it to work you have to change your printer settings and even then, the quality is not that great. I wouldn't suggest this product to anyone. Try Cannon, HP or Epson paper. Much better quality!

After reading the reviews (several negative), I wasn't sure if I should purchase this for my Canon i9900. I am sure glad I purchased this! I bought this because my Canon paper fades so quickly that I was sick of reprinting pictures to keep the colors vibrant.

I printed about thirty pictures of my previous vacation and was so amazed. The color is wonderful, the detail is so much better than on Canon paper, and they all printed up without one bad picture (ie,smears-ink blobs-etc).

I am definitely buying more being an obsessive picture taker.

A definite must for those who take an obscene amount of pictures!!!

I used this paper on a Canon i560. If you go to the Kodak web site and follow the settings recommendation for you specific printer, your results will improve greatly. On my printer, the default printer settings resulted in washed out colors. After adjusting to the recommendations, I got perhaps the most accurate color on this printer so far, including prints made with Canon paper and following the Canon printer recommendations. Others here who say this paper is bad on a Canon have not followed the directions.

This makes no sense. If the industry standard is 4x6, why did they, Kodak, cut the paper to 4x6.5 and then advertise on the carton that it is 4x6 -- yes, I see the fine print on the back side of the carton that reads "actual paper size is 4x6.5"

I still don't understand why they did this.

Now I have cut the pictures down to the correct size...what a waste of my time!!!!!!!!!!
