Disappointing
Eddie Edwards, Apr 29, 2026
Very disappointed in the change to the weight of this stock. Printed about 300 prints on the 47lb. and then ordered this to print the balance of the run. Description indicated that this is the same paper, but it is not.
Good Print Paper
George Krisik, Apr 23, 2026
I think it’s a very nice paper. It was thinner than I expected, although the website clearly told me the thickness. My prince turned out beautiful. The whites were bright and the colors were vivid. My black and white were also bright and rich. I should’ve gotten the sampler pack sooner. I am still experimenting with different papers. Overall, I love these papers.

I use this paper exclusively for customers who want beautiful prints for a low price. Holds color very well and has never let me down.
