Review 1 of 3

Price Paid: $20.00 from COSTCO

Summary:

What is the best paper? Silly question.. What is a better car- A Ferrari, A Lotus, or a Honda? For the money, plain old cheap Epson Glossy Photo Paper can not be beat. It's like a Honda Civic. What paper come's close to quality, color accuracy, at 120 sheets for $20 (COSTCO)--- NOTHING. I have used this paper for years for all kinds of uses. It has a slight texture and not perfectly smooth, but is anybody using a magnifying glass to look at your prints? It is thick enough for most uses. Please see my Inkjet Paper and Printer review (many details) at http://www.neilslade.com/papers/inkjetstuff.html 850,000 visitors.

Review 2 of 3

Price Paid: $20.00 from Costco

Summary:

This paper is correctly named Epson Glossy Photo Paper. It works extremely well with Canon dye base printers such as the S900 and i850. Other papers such as some HP or Kodak brands will puddle and pool and take days to dry on a Canon printer. The Epson behaves similar to Canon paper and is an absolute bargain in price, $20 per 100 at Costco.

Strengths:

With Canon printers, no pooling, dries instantly. Very fade resistant.

Weaknesses:

For this kind of price, none.

Similar Products Used:

Canon matte paper

Review 3 of 3

Price Paid: $0.00

Summary:

This is a fairly light-weight photo paper. It works fine on Epson printers, however, it does not so well with HP 900 series printers and should be avoided for use with them. Blacks do not tend to be very highly saturated with this paper.

Strengths:

Inexpensive
