Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great for everday digital photos
Review: I use this for my everyday photos - the ones that go in my albums I print from my computer's printer (HP 900 series)
Pros:
1. Not-so-glossy finish. Every other brand I've tried is so glossy that they shine and have a glare, unlike the pictures you would get from a professional developer (even the ones that aren't "high gloss") - one exception is the Kodak Ultima Satin which is similar to this with a much heavier weight and higher price. OR they have no shine - watch out for "matte photo paper" which usually has no shine at all.
2. Cheap. Just about the cheapest you can find, even compared to no-name brands.
3. Easy to cut. Since it is a lighter weight, I can cut my sheets of photos easier with less wear on cutting tools.
4. Two sided gloss. I've never used both sides, but it's there if you want it and you don't have to worry about which way to feed the paper, it can print on either side.

Con:
Lighter weight paper. If you want the feel of studio type paper (like you get when you get your family photos done at a professional studio), this is not the paper for you. I like the Kodak Ultima line - the "satin" finish has a similar not-so-glossy finish like this one. These papers are much more expensive, I usually save it for pictures I am going to give away.

Summary: Great for presentation prints but only good for photo
Review: This is a good paper for the price. It can handle photo print-out alright. It is definitely not the best photo paper, just above average. I mainly use it for color presentation that use color graphics, images, and texts.

I use this paper on an Epson 820 and 1200 and it printed out great. I use this on my Canon i960 and the print-out comes out fuzzy. Maybe Canon uses too much ink and the paper can not soak it up fast enough. I can't recommend this paper for Canon's printers.

You should buy a couple or the 25 sheets and see if it works with your printer. I find this paper best for presentation graphic.
