Not for Quality Photographs
on May 2, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
This Matte Paper should not be used to produce quality photographic prints. I used this paper with a HP Printer and received a rather dull print. It most likely is due to the fact that the ink die is absorbed into the paper fibers and loes vibrance from the way the screen is displaying the image. I wanted to purchase a satin or glossy finish but Staples did not carry in store.
Shhh... This is my best kept secret! This paper is the best value on the market. Often I go out of my way to buy this product and I am never disappointed with the outcome. The color prints out as I expect. I am never surpised and the weight is perfect. It's heavy but plyable. I've used this paper on HP and Epson printers and highly recommend it.
This is really nice heavy matte paper. Illustration prints look great on this paper. My inkjet HP printer and this paper together really brings out truly vivid colors every time. My favorite print paper to date. My HP printer is a little finicky about the size and settings. My printer works best if I leave an inch border all the way around. I'll keep ordering this paper as long as the quality continues to be the same. The price is a plus as well and I can either pick it up locally at my Staples store or order it online. The shipping is always fast so it saves times having it delivered to my door.
I use this paper to print photographs that I sell at a local gallery. Because of the nature of my work I prefer a matte finish and this paper fits the bill. I have found it not have any issues with ink smears and I have not seen any fading on images I printed over two-years ago. I get very vibrant colors using my Canon Pro9000 II inkjet printer. The only concern I have with the paper is if it will last as an archival product. It is a very bright white and I know that sometimes the bleaching process used to make the paper can also decrease the long-term life of the paper. So far I have not seen any issues with the paper.
