Epson Premium Glossy 8 1/2 x 11 Inch Photo Paper, 50 Sheets (S041667) Reviews

• Love that it's water-resistant!

  
  By A3OJHQ2PHUZYHL on 2004-12-20
  I really love that this paper is water AND smudge resistant, plus it dries instantly and can be handled immediately after printing. I use to print on Kodak Premium picture paper and HP Premium Plus photo paper with my HP Photosmart 7760 printer. Any time even the smallest drop of water would get on the paper, the ink would come right off and I'd have to print the whole thing over again.
  
  With this Epson paper, that's no longer a problem! I even tried spitting on the paper and rubbing it in and the ink stayed right where it should.
  
  Also, because of it's instant drying, I can send a batch job to the printer and not have to worry about hovering over the printer to remove the finished print before the next one lands on top of it.
  
  I highly recommend this paper, especially if your pictures are going to be handled over and over again by various people because you never know if someone with wet, clammy hands is going to touch your print. Also, if you actually like to do other things while your printer is printing a bunch of pictures, the instant drying is a great feature!
  
  

• Excellent low-cost paper

  
  By A65AYP6AZGVP8 on 2004-10-07
  I have an Epson Stylus Photo R300M and this is my first time to print digital photos at home. The quality of the 8x10 and 4x6 photos I've printed out so far are nothing short of magnificent. I guess the highest praise you can give photo paper is the usual "you can't tell if it came from the photo lab". That's certainly true of Epson Premium Glossy Paper. Granted I haven't been able to compare it to the other brands, but I'm not so sure I need to find out, because I am very satisfied with the Epson's paper quality. One thing I do know - it's one of the least expensive photo papers out there. Bottom line is, it's a very cost-effective option for the price-conscious photo enthusuiast.
  
  

• I really like this paper.

  
  By A1WOWD8PT00UHI on 2004-01-31
  I've tried lots of papers for printing out photos, and this is dependably very, very good. I get great color photos and I've also done many in sepia tones of some very old family photos I've scanned. I've been very pleased with the results, and I'd highly recommend this paper.
  
  

• Great photo paper

  
  By AVU8IU5KQKLP6 on 2005-10-23
  I have tried several different brands and types of photo papers for printing out my own color photos. This brand is definitely the best!
  I have seen so many photos people have printed out with other brands of photo paper and none compare to the Epson Premium glossy photo paper. When you order Epson photo paper, make sure you are ordering the "premium" photo paper, as they also make a lower grade photo paper. I have four printers......believe it or not......and I have come to the conclusion that the model of the printer is not really the determining factor when printing out quality photos, but rather the paper quality.
  
  

• Best Paper

  
  By AF8L0B5OZIWMH on 2003-04-02
  Excellent paper at a great price. If they could only get the ink prices at this rate! This is the best paper at the best price.
  
  
• Just as good as Canon Photo Pro for Canon i950
  By A1EVYFUM5T1OSD on 2004-03-11
  I've shopped around a lot for photo paper that is comparable to the Canon Photo Pro paper for my Canon i950, and this one is pretty much equivalent for half the price. I've found that Kodak & HP are poor, Konica QP is mediocre, and this Epson Glossy Photo Paper is the best.
  
  
• The best paper of any I have tried.
  By A1ETKJL5I0NMH6 on 2003-06-10
  This is the only paper I use. I have an HP PSC 750 printer and a kodak LS 443 digital camera. The color and quality of the print on this paper far surpasses HP premium plus paper and Kodak Ultima paper. I can print the same image on one of the other brands and there is no comparison to the Epson premium glossy paper. You cannot go wrong, the price of the 50 pack is a deal.
  
  
• Darn Good Paper
  By A1FR68QH6Z4YZM on 2004-03-22
  Truly the best paper out there for the price. It's sturdy and has a durable high-quality gloss coating. It even feels like real photo paper. It'll work with HP and Canon printers, too.
  
  
• Great paper, but arrived damaged.
  By A23NIYCYUIY7SC on 2007-01-03
  If you have an epson printer and are printing photographs, you should definitely use epson's photo paper and ink. The prints come out great! Unfortunately, Amazon's packaging wasn't very good and some of the sheets had damaged corners. Amazon's packaging has been bad on other orders I've made in the past so I won't buy printer paper from them again.
  
  
• The Best
  By A1UL6SVEZG33OE on 2004-05-23
  I have an Epson printer and have been using digital camera for over two years have tried almost all Epson paper for printing this is the best. They are all great, I prefer the glossy. Excellent. You can't go wrong.
  
  
• Does not work well with HP
  By on 2004-07-13
  I read the reviews. Tried the Epsom Paper. The photos were bland and without the vibrant colors and depth I got with the more expensive HP Photo Paper. Truly disappointing.
  
  
• Great Paper with HP Photosmart 7960 Printer
  By A27AIBUP3NUBHV on 2004-09-25
  Even though the product is intended only for Epson printers I found the paper to be superior for my Hewlett Packard. The HP ink bonds securely to the Epson paper, and does not come off when a droplet of water is allowed to rest on the paper for a while. I do not recommend getting the picture wet, but if that happens it is not an absolute disaster. I compared it to some Kodak paper I bought, and like the Epson paper better. The Kodak paper is good, no problem; but it is easily water-damaged. I rarely buy HP paper, as it is a trifle pricey.
  
  I have also sprayed printed photos with clear acrylic spray from a spray can. That works well for photos that will be handled a lot, but it is difficult to get an even coating without bubbles.
  
  
• Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper
  By A1R4VAO826TIG9 on 2005-08-20
  I own the Epson R800 printer and I find that Epson's Premium Glossy Photo paper delivers the best detail and colors in the high resolution photos I print. I have experimented with other papers and find that none come close in performance. If you have an Epson printer, I recommend this product.
  
  
• Best paper so far.
  By A1M0PG21YK612F on 2006-01-30
  Excellent product when used with the right printer. I use it with the Epson Stylus Photo R800. I prefer black and white photography and this combination works well for me.
  
  
• Highest quality and makes ink waterproof!
  By A2R3MAQQY8NKKP on 2006-10-31
  I'm a professional graphic artist, and I've used this paper for about 10 years since I purchased my first Epson printer. It produces, by far, the highest quality photographic images over every paper I've used including Kodak, Canon, HP, and Kirkland papers. So what sets it apart? (and makes it more expensive?) This paper has a chemical coating on the surface that sets inkjet die virtually on contact. So prints on Epson photo paper are smudge-free and able to be handled right out of the printer. The chemical is why you have to store this paper in its self-sealing pouch until use, because it will otherwise evaporate. But what most people don't know, is that it also makes inkjet dies nearly waterproof. I've actually run a print under the faucet, and when it dried, it was completely unharmed. On other papers, the print was destroyed. This might not seem that important, but it makes your prints resistant to fingerprints and accidental spills.
  
  
• epson paper right for the job
  By A8KNDSO0QNYXM on 2007-01-11
  I have an Epson Photo Printer 820. Maybe because it is old, the only photo paper that works with it is manufactured by Epson. Other papers pool the ink or make bad copies. This paper gives me true photo quality prints.
  
  
• epson premium glossy photo paper
  By AEC5NT9I1M3F9 on 2007-01-12
  I have used the premium glossy for some time now. I have always been happy with the clarity of the pictures. I do black and white prints as well as color.
  
  
• Just what I needed
  By A2LH5JV1WJTESI on 2007-02-17
  I need this for school, most places around want to charge 5-10 more dollars. This is perfect for any epson photo printer
  
  
• My pictures look great!
  By on 2003-06-13
  I recently bought an Epson C82 printer and I am very pleased with what it could do but my photos weren't looking as good as I thought they could on the heavy weight matte paper. I tried using the Kodak glossy paper that I had left over but was rather disapointed so I decided to check out the Epson brand paper after reading some of the postive reviews here. It really does make a huge difference! I used to think using the same brand paper as the printer was a bunch of company hype. Not true with Epson, especially with their Dura Brite ink. I am sticking with this photo paper as long as my printer keeps working!
  
  
• Great Paper
  By AKNK8KAOWAD9O on 2006-03-19
  
  I use this paper in a Canon I470 printer and it works very well. Use canon ink and set paper to Photo Paper Pro and set it to finest print and the results are excellent.
  
  
• I never got the item
  By A2PIESKO8G1FHV on 2006-08-14
  After being put off by Amazon severaltimes and waiting too long to order this paper from another source, Amazon told me they wouldn't be sending it. I had to settle for an inferior product from another source.
  
  
• Photo Paper
  By AK3NNTVNO9PE7 on 2006-08-28
  I have purchased the Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper from Amazon for a long time. I have tried other photo papers and they just do not turn out the quality photos that this paper does. I have won many photo contest using this paper. In my opinon this is a superor quality paper and I would recommend it to anyone.

• If you're really picky like me...
  By A2YFL6NW274MIA on 2008-06-19
  I'm a Graphics person and extremely picky about how my photographs print out. I've tried Kodak, Epson, Generic brands, etc. etc. The absolute BEST photo paper in my opinion is Jet Print Photo paper Professional grade, but I have found this paper to be ALMOST as good and cheaper. So I buy this one now.

• Good paper!
  By on 2004-01-28
  This paper is great for printing photos! I've taken about 8 million pictures of our new baby and keep printing them up to put in frames and give to my family. The pictures look completely professional and if I was better at cutting in a straight line you'd never be able to tell that I printed them myself.
