Summary: 4" roll - photo paper by Epson
Review: First of all very nicely packed, reusable box. Absolutely the same quality as the photo paper in sheets. Easy to use. Excellent printout quality. A little minus, prints tend to keep its original shape, roll. Takes time to flatten 'em. After all they come in the roll. Overall - I'm very satisfied. *****

Summary: This is just so neat
Review: GREAT FOR LOTS OF PHOTOS AT ALL ONE TIME When you have a bunch of photos to print this is the way to go.

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO DO IT (FILM FACTORY) COME WITH THE PRINTER AND WORK GREAT Epson provides instructions how to set this up, so there is just no waste and it prints very smoothly and very quickly.

SINCE NO SEPARATE PAPER FEED PRINTS VERY FAST. Usually the thing that takes a long time in a printer is the paper queuing up. Getting it all set up and then fed in. This eliminates that.

HAVE DONE 40-45 PHOTOS THIS WAY AND ALL TURNED OUT AS EXPECTED I used up the free roll they give you with an order of an Epson 890 (worth about 20 4X6 prints) and then came back for more.

NO WASTE, EASY TO SET UP AND REMOVE This is easy to set up, no waste and easy to take down.

THE ONLY COMPLAINT IS CURL The only negative is the strong curl your prints have. A night or two under a book helps.

Great product, I'm coming back for more.

Summary: Paper curl
Review: Great paper. Convenient to print large numbers of prints. But, it comes off the roll curved and no amount of effort can straighten it. Wish it were not so.

Summary: Its pretty sweet if you use it on a EPSON 440!
Review: I don't think it works that well on most printers, but it works sweet on the EPSON 440. Plus it isn't all that expensive so if you have the EPSON 440 you should definetly get it. The quality is photo-clear and can match with most other photo-papers in the market right now!!!

Summary: Don't buy or use this paper
Review: I have recently purchase the epson 890 injet printer and was trying out the included roll of premium glossy paper. The paper gets jam easily and photos comes out with streaks. I will definitely go for the regular 4X6 paper instead of the roll paper.

Summary: Fantastic paper, looks great, but what a curl
Review: I have used two whole rolls of this in my (new last year) Epson Photo 890 printer. I printed about ~40 Christmas photos last year and nobody could tell these were not professional prints.

You do have to read and remember the procedure to align the paper and the paper handling mechanisms, but that's to be expected. Also, it takes a little hunting to find the proper settings in all the print dialog setup windows, but it's pretty easy overall.

One complaint: it takes a lot of effort to get the curl out of the prints.

Summary: Great quality, bad curl
Review: I like the other reviewers had much luck with this paper. The quality is gorgeous, people can't tell that my prints are from a printer and not from a developer. I have an Epson 890 printer and a Kodak DX3900 3.1 Megapixel camera.

I did notice a couple of things, the colors come out much richer than they appear on the screen. It takes some playing around with the settings on the printer. Another thing is that prints look a little different right out of the machine then they do when they dry. And it does say to allow 24 hours to dry.

Some advice, cut the prints as you go, otherwise you have a 4 foot long curl and you have to touch all of the prints to seperate them for proper drying.

Also the curl is BAD. They give you a plastic sheet to wrap your photos in to unravel the curls but it takes two or three times to make them lay flat. Its like a poster, you have to roll it the wrong way to make the curl come out. I suggest waiting until the photos are dry and rolling them as tight as possible. Even then the curl isn't completely out for good. Its out enough to hang them on the wall (I hang mine with only one magnet). The ends curled up again a little after a couple of minutes but its not bad enough to make the photos separate themselves from the wall.

The quality is great, the prints are great, if you're going to mount them in frames or an album then you will have no problems. Even with the curl its not bad enough to make me not buy another roll.
