Koala Ultra Premium Photo Paper 8.5 x 11 In Satin Photo Printer Paper for Inkjet Printer Water-Resistant Semi Gloss 50 Sheets 72lb

Excellent quality! Just as good as prints from a professional store, but at a much lower price. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great results without spending a lot.

If you don't want to read this entire review, I would say that for color accuracy, texture, thickness, price, and drying time, this paper is excellent.I am using this paper on an Epson Expression Photo XP-8600 and it's OEM Claria dye-based inks. My general paper is Epson Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster, followed by Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl for larger 8x10 and 8.5x11 prints. But Epson doesn't make that paper in 5x7, and the Ilfor can be hard to come by in 5x7. So I decided to try this Koala paper given it's cheap price.I tend to be pretty picky, and print via Photoshop, Photoshop manages color, with an ICC profile specifically for the printer and paper combination. My first concern was not being able to locate ann ICC profile for this paper. So, I just tested it using the same profile as the Epson UPPPL paper (sometimes, profile differences are miniscule). To my surprise, the very first print came out pretty well, fairly bright and with a small color tint.Now, this slight color tint was noticed by some family memebers I asked, but one sided with me on a slight green. But here's the run: the tint wasn't really noticably under 2 of the 3 light sources I used (cloudy natural light, LED balanced bulbs, incandescent bulb). My experience with the Epson and Ilford papers is also a slight tint, just a little less so than this paper. I find that most people are impressed and happy with the photo rather than criticizing color accuracy as I might be.The thickness and texture of the paper leave a positive feel, like a developed film print. Not the thickest paper, but still a professional feel. The shine/gloss is well controlled, suitable for without or under a glass cover. I ran some water under a print and it had no impact at all. Printed out some portraits and landscapes and I have no complaints.I'm probably going to buy a few more packs, maybe even letter size if I can find it. Well worth it in my opinion.

This premium 11×17 satin photo paper delivers exactly what it promises. Colors pop beautifully, prints dry instantly with no smearing, and the finish looks professional. Perfect for high-quality photo prints—reliable and exactly as described.

Pretty good paper. Had issues when I first used the paper, because I didn't read the directions correctly and my pictures came out all smeared and distorted. When I FINALLY figured it out, the pictures came out clear, however the quality of the picture could be better (and I have a very nice HP photo printer). Overall, it's an okay photo paper

This is my go-to photo paper now. They are not very expensive but they do turn out excellent. I use them in my traveler's notebook when I document vacations and gatherings. I print an Canon Pixma inkjet and the images always turn out excellent.

Have used this photo photo for years. It is really good paper.

Nice solid paper, images print very nicely, like the shine, I use this for certain prints that I feel can benefit from the extra shine. I can recommend this paper, have also used other from the same brand and they also are fine products.

This is the first time I tried this brand; they are pretty good quality for the price. The grain is very even, and the texture feels nice. The slight shine on the paper a nice touch but not too glossy that it would reflect light. The color is quite nice, and the ink dry instantly for me. You can tell which side is the right side to print on, based on the grainy texture. I have not tested the waterproof claim but maybe I will one of these days to see how well it holds up. So far the paper is great, no creasing on arrival or anything like that, so packaging was also good. I will definitely buy it again.
