This paper is extremely good for printing images that don't require a glossy look to them. -- I print reproduction art that i have drawn over the years, and the paper's matte quality blows the regular photo paper i use out of the water.I will say, it does take time to get used to the paper's single sided quality. (The brightest side of the paper is the printable matte side, and the back side is an off-white/beige (This side is printable, but will be very muted and mottled)-- (The best way to tell if you have the paper facing the right way, is to take 2 pages and flip one around; look to see which side of the paper is the brightest. ... Or print and find out...)Before you start printing, you may want to adjust your printer's settings to get the best results for the paper. You can normally do this by printing an image on the paper, then gauging if you need to make it darker or lighter or tweak any other options you have.*Important side note: The setting(s) below may require more ink to be used, and will be slow to print*( Printing with the printer's "Media Type: Photopapers> Matte Photo Paper *Print Quality: Standard*) - Or equivalent setting will improve the image quality a lot, This setting basically tells the printer to add more ink to the paper than normal because of the paper type (ink will soak into the page, where as with glossy photo paper, the ink "sits" on top of the page, so glossy photo paper doesn't need as much ink)Print speed will be slow with this setting as the printer will print in tighter lines (good results do take time) - I wouldn't change the print quality from standard, though; as if you print in "High" it just takes more time to print and doesn't look any different.- ( I wouldn't use this print setting on the backside of the paper however, it will print too dark and it won't look as good, so print with the regular "Media Type: Plain Paper" setting if you're printing on the back of the paper.)(I tend to print darker, deep rich shades of color with this paper. I use a word processor (WPS); for all of the printing i do.)I do plan on purchasing more in the future, the price is fabulous, and the quality is great

Great paper for laser printer.I think for the price this paper is great! Love the matte finish. this is my first printing with a laser printer. I did not know they could print photos so wonderful.

Definitely test both sides of the paper to get the best quality print. The bottom picture was printed on the wrong side and I think you can see that in the quality of the Pic. Great value for my money, dries instantly with the matt finish and a no trainer easy to use. Fits my Canon pixma printer perfectly.

Nice matte photo paper. Was compatible with my printer. Dries quickly. It did not smear at all. Nice weight. And pretty cheap for the amount of printer sheets. I do plan to buy plenty of these in the near future. I do recommend

As someone who prints all the things for junk journaling—tags, ephemera, embellishments, you name it—this paper has been a total game changer. The quality is fantastic, with vibrant colors and crisp details that make every piece pop. It’s perfect for those of us who demand a polished look for our creative chaos.What really sold me? It’s economical. I can churn out prints for days without crying over the cost of supplies. Durable and reliable, this paper stands up to whatever crafty abuse I throw at it—trimming, gluing, layering, you get the idea.If you’re into junk journaling or just need something affordable that doesn’t skimp on quality, Canon’s photo paper delivers big time. Highly recommend!

The paper quality is definitely good, but I have to agree with most of the reviews that this is not a photo paper. It’s more like a card stock so if you’re printing artwork or crafts, this might work out for you, but I would not recommend this for actual portraits unless you are looking for a newspaper like result
