Canon 7981A004 Photo Paper Plus, Matte, 8-1/2 x 11 (Pack of 50 Sheets)

Amazing paper, great thickness and vibrant prints. Fast drying on my inkjet and no curls. Only downfall is that it isnt waterproof... but overall good for the price

I'm printing on an Epson ET-2550, which uses pigment based inks.I've been testing a lot of papers for a very specific purpose in printing my own trading card game, and for this process, I need an adhesive paper and a paper that can print on both sides. At least one side needs to be a high quality print. I have also been looking for a very specific feature of being able to easily slide cards against each other without having to do anything extra to them to make that happen, but understandably, no paper is ever going to tell me whether it can do that before I try it. Out of all the photo papers I looked at, this looked like the most affordable, so I figured I might as well give it a try.* Print quality is as good or better than any other matte photo paper I have tried.* It's the best price I've seen on photo paper.* You can print on both sides, but the back is like regular paper quality.* I tested its water resistance by getting my finger wet and gently rubbing the print a couple of time, and it looked like it discolored it at first, but after it dried, I can hardly see any difference.For my card game, it doesn't slide against other paper any better than regular paper, but it's not any worse either. I can make it work pretty easily with my current method by rubbing it for a few seconds with the wax paper backing from the sticker paper that goes on the other side of the card. I am worried that it is a bit thinner than some other photo papers, and there might be too much difference between the thickness of my holographic cards and my regular cards. I haven't made final decisions on my holographic paper yet either, but right now at this price point, this paper is a winning choice for the project or for any other matte photo paper needs.

This paper is extremely good for printing images that don't require a glossy look to them. -- I print reproduction art that i have drawn over the years, and the paper's matte quality blows the regular photo paper i use out of the water.I will say, it does take time to get used to the paper's single sided quality. (The brightest side of the paper is the printable matte side, and the back side is an off-white/beige (This side is printable, but will be very muted and mottled)-- (The best way to tell if you have the paper facing the right way, is to take 2 pages and flip one around; look to see which side of the paper is the brightest. ... Or print and find out...)Before you start printing, you may want to adjust your printer's settings to get the best results for the paper. You can normally do this by printing an image on the paper, then gauging if you need to make it darker or lighter or tweak any other options you have.*Important side note: The setting(s) below may require more ink to be used, and will be slow to print*( Printing with the printer's "Media Type: Photopapers> Matte Photo Paper *Print Quality: Standard*) - Or equivalent setting will improve the image quality a lot, This setting basically tells the printer to add more ink to the paper than normal because of the paper type (ink will soak into the page, where as with glossy photo paper, the ink "sits" on top of the page, so glossy photo paper doesn't need as much ink)Print speed will be slow with this setting as the printer will print in tighter lines (good results do take time) - I wouldn't change the print quality from standard, though; as if you print in "High" it just takes more time to print and doesn't look any different.- ( I wouldn't use this print setting on the backside of the paper however, it will print too dark and it won't look as good, so print with the regular "Media Type: Plain Paper" setting if you're printing on the back of the paper.)(I tend to print darker, deep rich shades of color with this paper. I use a word processor (WPS); for all of the printing i do.)I do plan on purchasing more in the future, the price is fabulous, and the quality is great

I recently purchased the Canon 7981A004 Photo Paper Plus, and overall, I’m quite pleased with its performance. The matte finish provides a professional look to my prints, and the colors come out vibrant and true to life. The paper is slightly heavier than standard photo paper, which adds a nice touch of durability without being too thick.One of the standout features is how well it handles ink. The prints dry quickly, and there’s no smudging, which is a big plus for me. I’ve used it for various projects, including photo albums and craft projects, and it has consistently delivered good results.However, I did notice that the paper can sometimes feel a bit like lightweight cardstock rather than traditional photo paper. This isn’t a major issue, but it’s something to keep in mind depending on your specific needs. For high-gloss, ultra-crisp photo prints, you might want to consider a different option.Overall, this photo paper is a solid choice for everyday printing needs, offering good quality at a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for reliable matte photo paper.Thank

Been looking to start making art prints at home and it seems I've found the perfect starter paper! I'm printing on a Canon Pixma G6000, and have found that I only need to make very slight color adjustments based on what I'm printing. Quality seems great, and is the perfect weight I'm looking for (a little sturdier than regular printer paper).I will, however, agree with the comments that this isn't really photo paper. I got this looking to make art prints, and would definitely recommend it for that- especially if this is your first go-around and are looking for an affordable option. But I cannot imagine using this if you're seeking out high quality PHOTO prints. This paper is definitely more suitable for art prints or various crafting projects.Also DO NOT FORGET THAT THIS HAS NON-PRINTABLE INSERTS ON BOTH ENDS OF THE STACK. I had read reviews before purchasing that said this and still forgot, and it had me feeling crazy that my quality was bad and that the ink was bleeding/smudging like crazy ha. If you open the pack from the back side with the open tab, the front side will be facing down. The differences between sides are nearly imperceptible as others have said, but I find bending the paper and looking at it in a good light can help. The back side will appear to have more visual "texture" than the front, which is a completely smooth, clean white.

Good quality paper with no ink bleeding.

It was basically cardstock. I purchased this to print my own passport photos and they were declined because they were “not on photo paper” I assured them it was and they said matte photo paper still has some gloss and this was not it.

Impressive good quality

並行輸入品で安価である。印刷もきれいである。

At first was terrified it felt like cardstock. But those are just protective pieces covering the actual sheets. The sheets are perfect! They're matte and work great with canon inkjet. I love this more than glossy paper for particular projects.

So disappointed! The print outcome is virtually identical to the much cheaper cardstock I buy from Spotlight. Good thick paper, but not photo quality in my experience.

Este producto es muy bueno lo uso de manera frecuente

Almost can't tell which side is the print-side. Both sides equally matte.The matte is not photographic grade matte, but paper cardboard kind of matte. Too rough for my liking but it holds colour well.For school projects ok. Not for photographic enthusiasts.
