This is great paper and has photograhic quality. I also love the thickness of the paper.

I bought the paper to do our annual holiday letter with narrative on one side and pictures on the other. I print several hundred copies of the letter myself with an ink jet printer. The pictures were clear and vibrant and there were no instances of the colors bleeding through. The black type was clear and crisp. The paper fed wonderfully in the printer and there were no jams, whatsoever. Overall, I could not be more pleased and will use this paper again next year.

I use this paper to print out small, test shots before printing for camera club competition, exhibits, etc. It is an inexpensive way to see it on paper instead of on my monitor.

This paper is comparable to Epson Presentation Paper Matte, but it is slightly heavier (32lb vs. 27lb) and is printable on both sides. It’s a substantial paper. I use it for flyers that I print on my Epson XP-960 printer and sometimes on the Epson XP-430. The colors are vivid and true and blacks are really black. The results are great. The main thing I like is that if you are laying on a lot of ink (as in a large solid black area) the paper lies flatter than the thinner paper. It is about 10% more expensive, but that’s reasonable.

I’ve used this paper exclusively for years and use it for all my printing. If I’m giving a presentation to a small church group I belong to, I print out a copy of the entire presentation, including any pictures, for each person. Each time they remark that wow, this is such good paper. And I also use it to print something that I want to keep and put in a file. It holds up so beautifully. I don’t want to file something that is going to get bent and look tacky. It is a 32lb weight, a good strength. Most people use a 20lb paper that will never always look like you just printed it. This one will. I don’t print huge amounts all day long, so I don’t worry about the expense. I don’t mind it. It’s one of those things that is worth it. I use it to print recipes, and when I use it, it lays flat, it’s so easy to handle, and it files away beautifully. I wouldn’t think of using another paper.

I used this for making a photo class directory. It is double sided and lighter weight than what I previously used. The other paper didn’t feed well in the printer, but this one has not been a problem. This is not for making framed photos but works well for brochures. Note: It is rare for me to give anything 5 stars.

This is great paper-very smooth surface, substantial weight that any printer can handle, and perfect for double-sided printing. I use it for everyday printing as well as for presentation work.

I like this paper because it is printable on both sides. HP very wisely puts this in over-sized cartons so that even careless shippers like B& H Photo cant mess up the corners.
