Love that it's water-resistant!

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

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.

Great Paper with HP Photosmart 7960 Printer

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.
