Koala Thick Photo Paper 8.5x11 Inches Heavyweight Double Sided High Glossy 100 Sheets 260gsm only Compatible with Inkjet Printer

Things to like, things to pay attention to.First off (and most important), this paper makes gorgeous prints. Exquisite details, beautiful color, Handles flawlessly. Heavy stock, no doubt archival quality.Things to pay attention to: surprisingly, Koala does not offer ICC profiles, which are printer/media specific, but not all printers print colors the same way in their "native" states, and even then, will render color and detail differently on different papers. So the first thing I did when I got this stock was to pull out the trusty Datacolor Spyder and make an ICC profile for this stock. And so my prints are spectacular.Only downside: of the first 14 pages I printed, two had slight smears. I'm printing with an Epson EC-8550 and using Epson Eco Tank ink. Could be the ink, could be a hiccup in feeding (double-sided glossy), won't now until several hundred prints down the road. I like the way my prints render on the double-sided stock so much, that I have ordered some single-sided heavy stock (for framing vs. booklets).My first and very satisfying outing with Koala. Since most of the premium photo stock paper producers offer ICC profiles for a wide range of printers, I was surprised that Koala does not. OK, the Datacolor Spyder that you use to make an ICC profile is not free, but it talks only about ten minutes to make a custom ICC profile with the Spyder. You print a target, scan it with the Spyder, Datacolor creates the profile, and even puts it into the correct location for your printer. Making the ICC profile for your new stock is just part of the process.OK, one more step. Most print routines suggest you use color management as determined by the app (Photoshop, Affinity Photo, InDesign, Affinity Designers, etc), so you have to change the color management when you print - to Managed by Printer, and then select the specific printer/media ICC profile. OK, that's what the pros do.Be a pro.

The media could not be loaded. I’m a small business owner and I bought this paper to make my own business cards and they came out amazing! Printed on both sides and the ink never came out or had issues drying out. Also I used it to make cards and other stuff and colors were vibrant, the picture quality was great! No issues at all during printing because thickness or smearing.Absolutely 100% recommended and I would buy it again!

The media could not be loaded. I was very skeptical about purchasing this paper as the reviews were a mix of good and bad.1. The gloss on this paper is very smooth and even on both sides2. The thickness is perfect for invitations, business cards, photos, crafts etc.3. Compatible with Epson eco tank 2400 and 2720Standard ink provided with the printer no smearing or smudging4. Color is vibrant5. I ordered 3 packs they all came in same packaging, no damages to the paper.6. Edges did fray with the Cricut paper cutter, but we’re smooth and neat with fiskars paper cutterI will definitely be ordering more.

best thickness and print quality!! my now go to paper for all my craftingdries quickly, no smearing compatible with my epson 8550 love this paper

I used this paper with a Canon Pro-100 printer and Canon inks. The heavy weight is not a problem with this printer. The image dried quickly and I printed the back side after about 60 seconds. While the image was not quite as rich compared to the Canon paper I normally use, it was quite acceptable for the greeting cards I was producing. I need to work on a better system for scoring in order to fold, but my rotary scoring wheel did an acceptable job. Given the low cost of this paper, I am very pleased with my purchase.

I had been searching for a good thick stock paper with a gloss for multiple purposes ESPECIALLY cover pages. I saw an ad on facebook for this paper but used for creating TCG packs. (Also on my list ) gave it a shot and it worked perfectly! My 4 star reflects the packaging and minor damages upon arrival.This works and feeds with an ET-2803. No smudgingMake sure you select glossy, and standard print. Otherwise your paper will be oversaturated and smudge instead of drying quickly.

Arrived FastNo damageLooks Great

We used these for my daughter's wedding invitations. The pictures printed as good as any photo I've sent out for (and even better than some of those). I had no issues with smearing using my ET-4800. Just make sure your black ink is dye-based. They fed through the printer with no issues.
