I'm using this paper with a Canon iP4700 printer. Granted, the paper is thinner than other brands, but I find this means easier, cleaner cuts. Even more, as I like to make colleagues, (putting a tacky spray on the back of the photos to allow for a smooth, ripple-free mounting,) this thin paper makes for excellent, seam-free, nearly invisible joinings. So, people doing photo crafts might wish to consider the handling benefits of this paper over thicker brands?
What impressed me more is the color! Yes, I'm using Canon inks as well! To appreciate the color difference, understand that I enjoy playing with light and shadow. I'd printed a number of photos on different paper (using this same printer and inks) but the shadow was so overwhelming that it actually muted entire features into darkness. To manipulate the brightness to bring these hidden features forth, would mean that the rest of the face would look washed out. I felt like I was between a rock and a hard place.
Reprinting those same photos on Canon glossy paper captured the features in shadow without lessening the warm flesh tones that are in the light. Who knew? I was impressed!
Now, I'm not a professional photographer - this is just a hobby to me. And, I'm sure .00 to .00 a sheet paper will certainly produce far better quality than this paper. But, for the money, I like the results.
Oh, and another feature I didn't factor in originally, but have since learned, "Hey, it happens!" Misprints - we all make mistakes. They won't hurt as much if it's this economical paper you're wasting.
I'm giving Canon glossy paper five stars simply because it hasn't disappointed me in any way.

This product was as represented. If you use the PictureMate you know what to expect. My only wish is that Epson would make a cartridge that would last longer and print more pictures and also that the nozzles wouldn't clog if you don't use it for a month or so.

Unnecessary addon
It is annoying that Epson does not sell cartridges alone, but blackmails you into buying paper even if you need only an Epson cartridge. Next time I will buy a cartridge from a non-Epson supplier that can offer just the cartridge you need, not an obligatory cartridge+paper combination.

Can't beat epson for picture quality and ease of use, just a bit on the expensive side

I saw this item at a local Sam's Club and thought it might be a great addition to my Home Computer system as an third monitor and add the ability to tune into the latest news when needed. By the time I saved enough money for the purchase Sam's had moved them out. Sooo. . . coupled with a nice gift certificate for Father's Day I bought it on Amazon. I actually saved over the Sam's price and the free delivery helped.
As for the purpose of the purchase it works very well. The color is great and nearly matches my main monitor (also a Samsung). In fact if I didn't need the TV I would us it as my main.
As for the TV side I'm happy so far. The only gripe I have is the need to manually switch back and forth between regular (4:3) and HD (16:9) aspect ratios. My 00 plus 42" wall mount plasma does this automatically. Oh well, I guess for less that 0 I can do a lot of button pushing. Somebody mentioned the "tinny" speakers but I run my sound directly from the cable box through a Bose system.

Very good quality paper. I've used the paper in a HP Photosmart B8550 printer and the quality of the photographs is outstanding. I use the ColorMunki Photo - Monitor, Printer & Projector Profiler and the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport for color management. The results are superb color photographs.

Cannon Photo papers
Printing large photos should be divivde. Backed photos can be on light weight paper. This is a medium weight paper and is easy to handle for foam backing board. It can also be framed with out showing weakness. I liked it.
Great photo paper.
Made some wall photos on my Canon Pixma Pro 9000 Mark II. Absolutely beautiful. The price was right. Will be making all my wall photos with this paper.
good paper!
This paper works great! As a plus, the packaging was made so the pages would not bend!
Large size photo paper
the Canon photo paper was delivered quickly and in perfect condition and it produces great quality photos even on a non-Canon printer.

This product is fine, the only problem I have is with HPs goofy system of having three or more different types of photo paper. Apperently this one is intended for quick drying. Photos look great and can be touched right out of the printer without smearing. I haven't compared with their premium paper, but would like to know if those look any different.
I was very happy to find this product in a 100 sheet pack though, and at a good price. Some places are selling 20 packs for the same price.

I am using a Canon MP560. This paper has deeper black, better contrast, more accurate color, and smoother finish than the actual Canon brand papers. It also seems to be more durable and costs less. I've replaced all my Canon paper with this HP advanced, as it is just a lot better. All you have to do is tell the Canon that it is using "Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy" and it comes out perfect.
My only complaint is all the markings on the back side of the paper. Lots of arrows and lines. Not a dealbreaker, but I wish they weren't there.

Prints well
Came as 4 individually wrapped 25 sheet packs. They work well, I just with HP was clearer about the difference between their papers. I believe advanced is supposed to dry faster. Prints look good, and you can touch them right out of the printer without smearing.
Good Experience
The price was good. The film paper was Genuine HP Paper and it arrived on time. Would buy again when needed.
Worked Great
I got this photo paper to try out the HP 6309a Printer's photo printing capabilities. We had some old kodac printing paper around, which worked ok, but I wanted to verify a printing problem wasn't due to that paper (which wasn't meant for that printer). Turns out the printer doesn't print well when it's low/out of ink, so this paper worked great once I got the ink replaced. I like that the paper is borderless and doesn't have pieces to tear off after you print.

Good Quality Printing but the fold was off
I bought these because and found that the print quality was excellent on both the outside and inside of the cards. My one complaint is that the fold was off center so the cards did not fold in half perfectly. Has anyone else experienced this or did I just get a bad batch?
Not as depicted
I was looking for heavy greeting cards, so was impressed when the picture showed the paper was 98 lb glossy. However, what I received says 74 lb glossy. These are nice but not as heavy as I hoped for, nor as depicted.
Great Product of highest quality
I have always used Hallmark's Half Folded Glossy Premium Greeting cards and never have had any problems. My cards are clear and turn out well.
I have used Hallmark products for many years and enjoy their challenge of a new product in making cards etc..

My mother-in-law's favorite hobby is to take family pictures and share the pictures as gifts. She prints the pictures herself at home and she goes through a LOT of photo paper! The great deal we found on Amazon made it easy to be generous and we give her photo paper on nearly every occasion. It makes great prints! She is as happy as can be!

This is a good fast drying paper for use with HP printers. It has tabs that seem to lower the price and I cut them off with a paper cutter prior to use. I use this paper for borderless prints and find it a good match for HP inks and printers with colors that match my calibrated monitor. By the way, if I cut off the tabs prior to printing I have to watch the direction of the arrows on the back carefully when I use it or I'll get a white band where the printer "thinks" the tab still is. To avoid this just make sure that the arrow or the rear points toward the printer when you insert it into the paper carrier. In summary, this paper arrived as promised, works well for me, drys quickly and has good colors.

The reality is different brand of printers likes certain brand of paper. The best result is to match the makers of the same printer and paper together. I used canon, Epson, HP, and generic brand of paper. I find Epson paper to be the most compatible photo paper overall, it prints well on Epson and Canon printers. Canon papers are good too and they print very well on their Canon printers. I used HP photo paper on Epson and Canon and the ink doesn't dry/catch that well on either, it prints fine on its own HP.
Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II
I had great success with the same paper on the 4x6 size, so I decided to get this for 8.5x11; after my Epson Premium Glossy 8 1/2 x 11 Inch Photo Paper 20 Count (S041286) went out. I been using Epson paper on a Canon i950 (got canon MP560 also), because I used to have a couple of older Epson printers. Sadly this paper while looking good didn't have the wow factor that I got from the Epson Premium Glossy. A closer look at the paper surfaces, I think Epson paper looked a little more professional and the price range were similar. I guess I have to use up this pack and go back to Epson paper. The different is very small, but my eyes prefer the Epson more vivid color and sharpness. The color printout on the Canon paper is closer to what I see on my PC screen.
