I had been using regular cardstock to print a lot of my party favors. The quality was okay but not what I wanted. I also use laser for candy wrappers and the glossy paper I had was just OK. I am so glad I stumbled upon Red River. The quality of print with my Epson 2000 is unbelievable for both the matte photo and the glossy paper. I love this paper and I doubt I will ever go back to what I used at first.
