5.0 out of 5 stars Bright white paper has great dynamic range
I've been looking for a double-sided glossy white paper that looks great and that I could use to mock up a book that I'm working on. It used to be you could go to Staples and find what you need--not any longer. And, if you can find double-sided glossy paper on Staples.com, it will be more than twice the price of this. So I opted for the 32 lb. weight double-side glossy Hartwii paper.I have three color printers here, a Canon PixmaPro 9000 (8 inks), an Epson ET 8550 (six inks) and Epson ET 3600 (4 inks). This paper was easy to set up and run through the Canon at Glossy-High quality--and looks great. You can run it through the ET-3600 and Glossy High Quality--and it's slightly less rich in color than the Canon. But you would expect that: eight inks vs. four.Now the ET-8550 is another story. I tried Glossy-High setting, with a +5 on density to match the Canon--and the quality was great--EXCEPT--I got smudges here and there on the print surface. After half a dozen test prints on the 8550, I adjusted the settings for +5 density, and Glossy-Standard. The emerged print look fantastic, comparing favorably with the PixmaPro 9000. This printer is fussy on the settings, but once you get it, it looks great. One particular note on this printer. If you set the printer for any higher quality "glossy" paper, the printer assumes thicker paper, and the tracking will be terrible with this lighter weight paper. I will probably try the heavier weight Hartwii paper, and I expect the problem will go away.So overall, the bright white of this paper gives it extra range--and prints look great. But for some printers, it may take some careful testing to get the setup right. One piece of advice--once you get the settings perfect, save it, so you can easily get back to it.The 32-lb. paper has no show-through lying on a flat surface. Of course, if you hold it up to the light, you will see some show-through. I have not yet tried the double-sided printing feature on either the ET-8550 or the ET-3600 with this paper. This will be a later test for both automatic double-sided printing and manual.---------------------Since writing this review, I have tried the heavier 44-lb paper with the Epson ET-8550 with good results. In printing this paper on both sides, the first side should be allowed to dry for at least two minutes or so before printing on the other side. I have used driver settings at "Photo paper glossy" and "High Quality," which provides excellent results with a color test print. Also, no black streaks were noted. I also reduced density by -10 and found that to be satisfactory as well. With the heavier weight 44-lb. paper, it will be less prone to not going through the printer unevenly. The lighter weight (32 -lb.) paper may work better if left to dry until completely flat before printing the other side--this could take at least 15 minutes. Obviously, if you're using the single-sided paper products, you should experience no issues with this supplier's paper.Since there are no real recommendations by the manufacturer on where to set your printer driver, experimentation will probably be required to get the best results for your specific printer. Too much ink can cause messy problems. I had no problems with any of my three printers on color balance--they were all spot on. Having done color darkroom work several years ago with Ektacolor RC print papers and their associated chemical processing, today's technologies produce results you could have spent hours to get right in the darkroom--even with densitometers and the like. This paper produces brilliant results, but of course, the test of time will show whether it yellows or has other problems. But for monitoring pages of a book I'm creating, the paper does an excellent job.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don’t recommend
This paper prints out white sheets then yellow color looking sheets. The product isn’t thick at all these are very flimsy sheets and the quality isn’t there. I will be returning the remaining products.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for taking a project to another level.
This glossy paper works well with vivid color projects. I used it throughout a wedding project, from the Save the Date with a full-color photo to the invitations for brilliant flower colors to the wedding program. All for a very affordable price for the quality and quantity of paper. I recommend this paper for flyers, programs, and booklets.
