should i buy Printworks Photo Project Paper reviews

Printworks offers a wide variety of outstanding photo paper for all of your photo printing needs. Printworks Photo Project Paper ensures a professional finish for any printing project. The smooth matte coating of Printworks Photo Project Paper prints images, fine-line graphics and vibrant, bold colors with photo-quality resolution in a low glare finish. And unlike traditional inkjet and laser papers, this heavyweight paper retains its rigidity when printed on both sides with full ink coverage. Printworks paper is perfect for all types of photo printing, including reports, scrapbook pages, flyers, newsletters, presentation covers and school and craft projects. Each pack contains 100 sheets of sturdy, high quality 6.5 mil 8.5 x 11 inch stock. Take any print project from ordinary to extraordinary with your inkjet or laser printer and Printworks Photo Project Paper. Decided to try this for a two-sided presentation based on the product description that touts its rigidity and heft. Unfortunately, the paper is much less rigid than what the description denotes. Printing one side makes the paper curl dramatically (using a Canon Pixma and the settings the paper packaging recommends), and the second side smudges because of the curl.

The image quality if you use the paper on one side only is quite acceptable, though the shape of the paper (no longer flat) makes it unsuitable for any kind of presentation. Their smooth matte finish is rather nice, and the product would go from one star for me to four or five if it were as robust as they claim.

NB the Staples brand two-sided paper is about twice as expensive, but it is rigid enough to withstand print on both sides.

My reliable Canon Pixma printer has printed successfully on paper of all different weights and thicknesses; it even prints on fabric. But it won't feed this stuff. It appears that the paper coating slicks up the feed rollers. Clean the rollers and it can feed & print a few sheets, then it won't feed anymore. When I can get the paper to feed, the output quality is acceptable for the double-sided photographically illustrated manual it was purchased for ... so it's a good enough paper in that regard and certainly the price is right. But if it can't actually be used, what good is it?

I like this paper its just right for name cards Photos just about anything you throw at it
it used to be in stores around here but Not . So as long as my Supplier has stock :):). I'll keep printing just about anything there is Thank you Again :)This paper is miserable my workforce spits out sheet after sheet not even wanting to print on it! i feed it 110lb cardstock all the time and any variety of standard and colleciton of photo papers what makes this one something it doesn't like?

NB the Staples brand two-sided paper is about twice as expensive, but it is rigid enough to withstand print on both sides. I make a lot of cards using personal photos, and I like for the cards to be bright and colorful. This type of paper is what I needed in order to accomplish that, with the additional bonus of being easy to fold into quarters. Paper is great, haven't had any problems with it, however it's not my idea of a "matte" finish--- I found it more like the paper used for magazine pages, with a smooth, seemingly nonporous feel to it. Despite being called Matte it has somewhat of sheen to it, between a gloss and a true matte; I would call it more of an "Eggshell" or "Satin" finish. I was hoping for a totally flat matte, somewhat textured feel (like a normal sheet of standard letter-sized printer paper), but this isn't it. Otherwise it's a great paper, just not what I was looking for for this particular project. I have a laser printer and this paper prints beautiful photos. Couldn't be happier with this product. I just wish they made a glossy paper also for laser printers. My reliable Canon Pixma printer has printed successfully on paper of all different weights and thicknesses; it even prints on fabric.

But if it can't actually be used, what good is it? I like the feel of this paper, but in my personal use, a photo or image with a lot of color winds up curling as it comes out of my printer. I use an HP Inkjet AIO printer and haven't have this problem either with the cheap paper I use regularly or the card stock and photo papers I use for crafting.
It's a shame, because the weight and texture seem ideal for a lot of my projects, but there are other papers I can print on that I don't have to straighten out when it's done printing. Plus it seemed to take a couple minutes for the ink to dry compared to using other papers, so I'm afraid that the curling will cause ink transfer in my projects.
I'll be using the rest of the pack on projects that aren't saturated with ink but I won't be buying more.
