Great 2-Sided Glossy Photo Option
Robert Adams, Mar 22, 2026
2026 The Pecos River Gloss 320 Duo Photo Paper 8.5x11 is sturdy enough to hold up as a cover and flexible enough to easily progress through my various Canon printers without jamming.
The performance is identical on both sides - absolutely the same images.
The paper is bright and reflective enough to make photos pop. Associated text and fine captions appear sharp without the slightest bleed.
And..my Canon inks dry quickly on this media.
I love this paper and will continue ordering it for any project that requires this high level of 2-sided quality.
