Summary: Too much red on photos printed from HP PSC 2210
Review: I used it on my HP PSC 2210 multifunction machine with 6-ink photo printing. The photos come out with too much red. The HP premium photo paper, on the other hand, produced photos that look exactly like the once developed in the local 1-hour photo lab. In short, avoid the Kodak premium photo paper if you have HP printers.

Review: I wish they would lower the price a little.
But my pictures do come out beautifully.

Summary: Poor quality on Canon S800 printer
Review: The paper says it works with all brands of inkjet printer. I went to Kodak's website and set up my printer settings exactly as instructed for my printer (Canon S800). Even though this paper is very white, smooth, and glossy (all good things), the print quality of the output is significantly inferior to comparably priced Epson Photo Paper and Canon Glossy Photo Paper. Needless to say, I am very disappointed with the print quality. I can see lots of the individual pixels, especially on human flesh. Now I am stuck with a 50-sheet pack of expensive, nearly unusable paper. If you have a Canon S800 printer, stay away from this paper!

Summary: Hits the mark!
Review: This paper does what it is intended to do. It provides an affordable, quality option for printing snap shots. Would I use it to reproduce images to present in a gallery? No. But for images that require the highest quality prints I upload and print at a professional digital lab. However for printing snap shots to be sent to relatives and for my wife to use for scrapbooking this paper has proven to be the best. I have tried several papers on my Canon S520 printer, including canon's own line. I like this Kodak paper the best. With this paper I always get a reliable reproduction of my images. I would caution that it is important to follow Kodak's advandced settings recommendations to get the best prints. These are available in the package and at Kodak's web site. Kodak also offers free software to assist with the printing that will optimize the printer settings for the paper automatically. My wife (who is not computer savy) has found this program to be helpful in printing photos. I have found it helpful in that I no longer am needed to assist her every time she wants to print.

Summary: Hits the mark!
Review: Using my Canon i560s printer, Kodak's recommended printer driver settings, and Kodak's free software for printing, this paper produces near flawless photos. They are semi-gloss (not high-gloss like Canon's Photo Paper Plus Glossy that comes with the printer). This paper has been reformulated recently (according to the packaging) and I will continue to use it for all photos. I have been unable to get Canon's software to print accurate colors on this paper - so use Kodak's! Canon's software (Easy Photo Print) won't print accurate colors even on their own Photo Paper Plus Glossy paper (and there is no way to manually tinker with the color settings in Easy Photo Print - you can in the Kodak software via the Canon print driver). If you run a comparison, you will see that Kodak has got the color thing nailed cold and Canon does not, regardless of paper type.

The only detectable flaw I've seen in any print on Kodak's Premium Picture Paper is on photos with very dark/black areas. If you hold the print at a sharp angle in bright light (you never would unless looking for this flaw) you can see a slight decrease in the reflectivness of these really dark areas that you don't see using the Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy paper.

Nobody who has looked at my prints (except me) has noticed this flaw - so don't worry about it. By the way, I much prefer the semi-glossy nature of this paper to Canon's Photo Paper Plus Glossy which truly is so glossy it can be annoying in some lighting conditions.

The Canon i560s uses dye-based ink for printing photos. I think pigment-based ink will have different results (Canon mixes the 3 dye-based colors to produce black when printing photos, as the black cartridge is pigment based in this printer).
