I don't see what the other users are talking about. I've never had any problems with it peeling (or whatever they said). I have had some paper jams but that is the problem with all printers and think papers. Make sure you have the correct settings on your printer - call support for that. I Like this product.

Not made for all jobs

This product has a coating on the card stock that even though it is lightweight it can jam in machines. This made larger print jobs impossible. We had numerous paper jams and the rollers did not work well with the coated material on this cardstock. It just would not feed right. We replaced rollers on our Xerox just for this job and still it did not work well.
My main beef is that sometimes these postcards are difficult to separate easily. You have to be careful bending them back and forth a couple of times before tearing. As far as printing is concerned I find it is best to follow the hints and tips given in the package (i.e. only feed one sheet at a time into your printer and do not print the second side before the first side has dried). This helps to greatly reduce jamming. If you are in a high-volume business this may not be the best product for you since you do have to feed the sheets one by one but for the at-home business that requires quality I would definitely recommend these postcards. I'm a musician and send out a lot of leads to brides. The bright white and matte feel gives my printed postcards a professional look.
Price was great.Quality great. Only suggestion would be to put some kind of a sign or symble around the boarder on the front side of the page. That would makeit easier to be sure you are putting the correct side up when adding the paper to the printer.

No problems

I did not have any problems as noted by some here. Using a Cannon printer not one jamb. Tearing was easy but the trick is to find which way to start the bend. It bends and tears much better if you only tear from the side the bends easily. For the money just take a little more time when bending to tear.
