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

PHOTO PAPER IS OK, NOT GLOSSEY, PRINTED OUT VERY WELL, GOOD PRICE

I am afraid to leave this review because other people will want to buy this photo paper. I have been buying it for years and I love the way images turn on on this paper Of course, it is not glossy and that is another reason I like it. However, understand, you have to be careful on how you load it as one side is not at all printable. And the fact that you get 50 sheets is so much better than most all of the others. But please don't buy it.

I ordered the Canon 7981A004 Photo Paper Plus, Matte, 8-1/2 x 11 (Pack of 50 Sheets) for printing photos and creative projects, and I’m really impressed. The matte finish gives a beautiful, non-glossy look that’s perfect for fine art prints, portfolios, scrapbooking, and presentations. Colors come out rich and true to the original file — no weird shine or glare — and the paper handles ink well without smearing. It fed through my Canon printer smoothly every time with no jams. The weight and feel of the paper are excellent — substantial and professional without being too thick. The pack of 50 sheets is great value, and the individual sheets are easy to work with when printing one at a time. Overall, this is top-notch matte photo paper that delivers excellent results for both photos and graphics. Highly recommend if you want quality prints with a refined matte look.

I guess I am confused about what 45lb paper is. I have 32lb paper and 60lb paper and I expected this paper to be between the two. Boy, was I wrong. This stuff is thick, THICK. It is like cardboard. I couldn't get it to feed through my laser printer at all. Not even a little bit. I tried it in my ink jet (with a rear door, so that it doesn't have to bend at all) and it worked alright. If you have a printer where this paper would need to bend even a little, this is not the paper for you. UPDATE: come to find out in a big dummy, and didn't realize my pack had too many of those stiff cardstock pieces in it. I pulled out one and thought I had reached paper. But there was two. My bad. So, the paper works fine. I printed a few pics on it just now and they look nice. I'm not sure I'm in love with the matte look, but that's my problem, not the paper's. Sorry about the confusion. Feel free to have a chuckle at my expense.

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.

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

Is not the same paper. More lighter .

Good quality paper. Prints nicely. Ink dries quickly.

Good paper will buy again

La blancura del papel se distingue claramente en uno de los lados del papel. El grosor es ideal. Personalmente me equivoque de papel yo esperaba un papel satinado. Pero eso ya fue culpa mía. De ahí en más el producto cumple con lo que dice. Servicio excelente por parte de Amazon.

並行輸入品で安価である。印刷もきれいである。

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.

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.
