Scratches and bleeds. Watch video!

Absolutely horrible quality paper. Stay away. I print stuff daily. It's literally my business. I was going to make a calendar as a side project to raise money for charity and I decided to try this paper. I tuned my printer for the recommended settings and fired off a test page. Immediately as the page emerged my heart sunk. Yellow bleeding all around my text. More paper came out, more bleeding. I use a permanent, dye based ink so it wasn't that. I tried another test to see the quality of the papers surface, which is to stick a piece of tape to it and peel it off. My usual high quality photo paper will have no problem peeling off the tape, and leaving the image perfectly intact. Maybe a little bit of glue marks here and there. I did the same test on this paper and it immediately ripped up not only the ink but the entire surface of the paper as well. So of course I did a gentle scratch test with my fingernail which, as expected resulted in immediate destruction. This paper is practically useless unless you plan on printing it and immediately putting it in a frame and never touching the surface of it again. Even the quality of the surface has some fine scratches just from touching the other pages in its packaging.Lesson learned, don't try to save money on cheaper paper, because you will end up basically throwing it all away. DO NOT BUY THIS PAPER

Pros
  • This paper is great for double printing of pictures and invitations.
Cons
  • This paper is not environmentally friendly and contributes to deforestation
