I was wondering if there would be a big difference between the regular size and the plus size, but I printed out two pictures for comparison, one of each size, and me thought they were worth the negligible additional printing cost for the larger photo paper size. This paper works great in our Sprocket Plus printer, the images look good (especially being printed on a tiny portable printer) and while the cost per image isn't low I think it's a reasonable price for one very user-friendly printer is . Instant prints by occasion. It's great not having to worry about separate ink cartridges. Fun for family reunions, social events, etc. If you're looking for a high-volume photo printer, this isn't for you. If you need something to carry in your pocket or purse and use to print photos anywhere, anytime, a sprocket printer and photo paper are great.
