220 Sheets Inkjet Glossy Thin Paper 8.5x11 inch 30lb 120gsm A4 Letter Size For Brochure Printing, CustomChip Bag Party Favors,Single Side, Suitable for All Dye Ink HP001

I've been looking for a double-sided glossy white paper that looks great and that I could use to mock up a book that I'm working on. It used to be you could go to Staples and find what you need--not any longer. And, if you can find double-sided glossy paper on Staples.com, it will be more than twice the price of this. So I opted for the 32 lb. weight double-side glossy Hartwii paper.I have three color printers here, a Canon PixmaPro 9000 (8 inks), an Epson ET 8550 (six inks) and Epson ET 3600 (4 inks). This paper was easy to set up and run through the Canon at Glossy-High quality--and looks great. You can run it through the ET-3600 and Glossy High Quality--and it's slightly less rich in color than the Canon. But you would expect that: eight inks vs. four.Now the ET-8550 is another story. I tried Glossy-High setting, with a +5 on density to match the Canon--and the quality was great--EXCEPT--I got smudges here and there on the print surface. After half a dozen test prints on the 8550, I adjusted the settings for +5 density, and Glossy-Standard. The emerged print look fantastic, comparing favorably with the PixmaPro 9000. This printer is fussy on the settings, but once you get it, it looks great. One particular note on this printer. If you set the printer for any higher quality "glossy" paper, the printer assumes thicker paper, and the tracking will be terrible with this lighter weight paper. I will probably try the heavier weight Hartwii paper, and I expect the problem will go away.So overall, the bright white of this paper gives it extra range--and prints look great. But for some printers, it may take some careful testing to get the setup right. One piece of advice--once you get the settings perfect, save it, so you can easily get back to it.The 32-lb. paper has no show-through lying on a flat surface. Of course, if you hold it up to the light, you will see some show-through. I have not yet tried the double-sided printing feature on either the ET-8550 or the ET-3600 with this paper. This will be a later test for both automatic double-sided printing and manual.---------------------Since writing this review, I have tried the heavier 44-lb paper with the Epson ET-8550 with good results. In printing this paper on both sides, the first side should be allowed to dry for at least two minutes or so before printing on the other side. I have used driver settings at "Photo paper glossy" and "High Quality," which provides excellent results with a color test print. Also, no black streaks were noted. I also reduced density by -10 and found that to be satisfactory as well. With the heavier weight 44-lb. paper, it will be less prone to not going through the printer unevenly. The lighter weight (32 -lb.) paper may work better if left to dry until completely flat before printing the other side--this could take at least 15 minutes. Obviously, if you're using the single-sided paper products, you should experience no issues with this supplier's paper.Since there are no real recommendations by the manufacturer on where to set your printer driver, experimentation will probably be required to get the best results for your specific printer. Too much ink can cause messy problems. I had no problems with any of my three printers on color balance--they were all spot on. Having done color darkroom work several years ago with Ektacolor RC print papers and their associated chemical processing, today's technologies produce results you could have spent hours to get right in the darkroom--even with densitometers and the like. This paper produces brilliant results, but of course, the test of time will show whether it yellows or has other problems. But for monitoring pages of a book I'm creating, the paper does an excellent job.

We have used these for a trifold brochure for more than a year. Always good quality. ONLY issue is sometimes you will find one deep in the stack that was printed on that was meant to be the top one denoting the company info and paper description.

I’m not sure if it’s the type of ink I have but with this paper + my ink, when cutting out said pictures the ink gets everywhere and can be easily rubbed off but I don’t blame the paper on that :)

First of all, this is a very good glossy photo paper. As with the best Canon or HP papers, it presents brilliant colors and dries immediately. The fact that you can print on both sides gives it a special appeal. I use it to print half-fold photo greeting cards. The only shortcoming, and it is a minor one, is that the packaging is fragile. I have to apply tape to the box after a bit of handling to keep it from coming completely apart.

Excellent product but a little slim

Did the job

One side prints OK, but reverse side lacks same intensity of gloss coating. Side 2 jams nearly every time so I am upgrading to better quality. This paper may work for you in a different printer. I am professional artist & photographer & print publisher & demand higher quality that will cost more money. I was using this paper just for promotional flyers, not print production of titles for sale.

The paper is good quality. It’s quite thick and worked just fine in my inkjet printer.
