"Thin but flexible." 2009-12-18
By M. A. Dressler (Littlestown, PA, USA)
This photo paper may be thin but for making CD inserts, it is just about perfect. Good printing surface and flexible enough to fold without difficulty. I have bought a second pack of 100 just because it works so well for this purpose.

I own a really good printer, a Canon Pixma, and this paper works well for me. It's a bit thin, but i'm just printing off photos for scrapbooking, so the thickness doesn't matter much. Good paper for the price!
"Good enough, but more satin than glossy" 2009-12-11
By Michael B. Carroll (Pete Townsend, WA USA)
Each year I print photo calendars for Christmas gifts. I use glossy photo paper because it looks best with the photos I use. Normally I buy the big-box office store brand; the paper weight and glossiness is good enough for my use. I ran out of that paper and needed more. When I went back to the store I found this Kodak glossy paper at a significant discount (50% of what you see listed here), so I bought it. This review is mostly comparing the store brand against Kodak.
I use a Canon MP600 printer, with regular (not photo) Canon inks. I use the "standard" quality setting, and the "glossy" paper setting; these provide a good print for my calendar images without using more ink and taking longer to print.
The most significant difference between the two papers is the finish. The store brand is definitely *glossy*. This Kodak paper is significantly less so. It's not matte (that's a separate line of paper), but more like satin. You can notice this even before you print. The satin finish makes my photos look a bit dull compared to the store brand.
Kodak's box says the paper is "optimized for Kodak inkjet printers", but is "compatible with all inkjet printers". The colors on my prints appear "correct" - or close enough that it doesn't matter to me.
The store brand is a bit heavier (49lb vs 48lb) and a bit thicker (7mil vs 6.5mil) than Kodak. For my purposes this is no big deal. However, when the Kodak prints came out of the printer there was a bit of paper "waviness", caused by the amount of ink being laid down. The prints were dry, but wavy. I let them sit flat on a table overnight and they flattened out.
My calendars have an expected lifetime of a year, so I'm not concerned about fading.
Both the store brand and Kodak are listed as being the lowest quality: "standard photo paper" for the store and "photo paper" for Kodak.
Bottom line:
I'm not too disappointed in the Kodak paper. However, given that the Kodak list price at the big-box store is very close to that of the store brand, I would not buy this paper again unless it was significantly discounted like it was this time. The store brand is better for my purposes.
"NOT BUYING THIS AGAIN" 2009-12-03
By Rosalie Smith (japan)
I wish I was able to read these reviews before I purchased this. I got this from our Navy Exchange store, I dont have any other option coz it was the only 8.5x11 size left on the shelf. I was surprised how thin it is, Ive used it with my HP all in one printer, I was sad of the outcome, it doesnt look glossy at all but just plain matte. When I started glossing/glazing the pictures for my crafts, I could see it starting to disintegrate, the material was really flimsy. So I decided I would just use it for my other project since I dont want it to go to waste, but when I printed the whole page, black backgound and white fonts, I was horrified with the results!!!! The words came out blurred and most of it you cant barely read it at all! So I tried printing it again using my hp 4x6 photo paper and the results were brilliant. I thought for a while there that it was my printer that is messed up. I really dont recommend this product at all! A real waste of money.
