Really? You are planning to use paper that cost $12.75 for 300 sheets and want it to be top notch non-fading paper? You are funny.
I’d only get this for quick prints that you aren’t planning to pass on to your great-great-great-grandkids. However, I’m sure its fine for everyday prints to give to your kids friends and stuff.
I got some of this from one of the woot site (can’t remember off hand), and used it in my Epson R200. No matter what settings I used the ink would ?over saturate? the paper. I don’t know how else to discribe it, but there were little beads of ink covering every square mm of the paper.
I’m in unison with the “GSI” statement in terms of image quality but the bad part of that was that the inclosed CD left a minor indent into the 8.5 x 11 paper.
This stuff is great for making your own printed circuit boards. Use a laser copier to copy the inverse of your board onto this paper, iron onto your copper, dissolve and enjoy!
I bought some last time this came around (I think it was the exact same thing) and the paper jams in my printer because, I think, it is too thick. I’d stay away.
Here’s how you pick paper for your photo printer:
Epson printer —> get Epson paper.
Canon printer —> get Canon paper.
HP printer —> get HP paper.
Therefore, only get this if you have a Starlite printer.
I’m convinced the inks and paper are designed to work with each other. I tried a house brand paper for my first photo prints on an Epson printer, and the result was just like you said, the ink just sat on top of the paper. I figured, like someone else said, home color printers were just crummy like that.
Then I tried some Epson printers, and suddenly couldn’t tell my prints apart from ones I got at the photo lab.
