Jet Print Photo Satin-Finish Photo Paper

Summary: Professional quality paper
Review: I recently purchased a Canon i550 printer, and needed to be able to print professional, lab-quality results on 4 x 6 of wedding photos. My local Staples offered Jet PrintPhoto as well as offerings by Canon (Photo Paper Pro), HP (HP Premium Plus) and Staples (Premium Photo Paper) own in house brand. Jet PrintPhoto stood well above HP and Staples brand in terms of weight (the paper is noticeably thicker) and color quality (the others appear less vivid than the Jet. Canon's was pretty close, and would make an adequate substitute. If you're looking for paper and print quality to rival a photo lab, and you're not on a budget, this is the one to get!

Summary: Loved it, but check for right side up
Review: Loved the paper, color came out well, paper didn't curl and the satin finish is great because it gives the pics more of the matte finish you get when you send film in for developing while leaving it a bit shiny. I highly recommend it. However.....While printing pictures from my digital camera I have a tendency to grab all 15 sheets from the pkg and put them straight in my printer. Not all the papers straight from the pkg were facing the same way, the satin finish is only on one side and I ruined a couple papers before I realized what happened. After that, I checked the papers to make sure they were all facing the same way before I put them in the printer. Some pkgs were ok but I've found several where 1 or 2 sheets were turned the wrong way, so my recommendation is to check them all because good photo paper is to expensive to waste even one.
