I have to say I was a bit hesitant ordering photo paper online, so I decided to try the sampler packs. When the paper arrived I was blown away by the quality, shine, sheen and luster of the paper! The Polar Pearl Metallic is absolutely AMAZING!
Im only giving 4 stars because of one problem I have with the sampler... You print the "name" of the paper type on the print side of the paper, which prohibits me from making a full 8x10 print with the paper type I choose. In my opinion, you should put the name on the back of the paper, so I can actually use the paper to the fullest to see if I really like it. I now have to downsize my images from a border-less 8x10 to something "custom".
I am hoping that if I decide to purchase a single package of one of the papers that is in the sampler pack, I will be able to use the whole page!
Papers with the Archival designtation can take many forms. They can be glossy, matte, canvas, or an artistic product. These papers are acid free, lignin free and can be made of virgin tree fiber (alpha cellulose) or 25-100% cotton rag. They are likely to have optical or fluorescent brightening agents (OBAs) - chemicals that make the paper appear brighter white. Presence of OBAs does not indicate your image will fade faster. It does predict a slow change in the white point of your paper, especially if it is displayed without UV filter glass or acrylic.

Photographic Grade Paper
Photo Grade products are designed to look and feel like modern photo lab paper. Most photo grade media are resin coated, which means they have a paper core covered by a thin layer of polyethelene (plastic) . Plastic gives the paper its photo feel, stability (flatness), water resistance, handling resistance, and excellent feed consistency.
Prints on photo grade media are stable over long periods. With pigment inks in a protected environment, you can see up to 80 years on-display life. All RC papers are Photo Grade for two reasons. Plastic content is not technically archival by museum standards. Also, the inkjet coating of all RC papers is slightly acidic. It facilitates instant drying and does not actually change the stability of your inks over time. Virtually all RC papers have optical brightening agents (OBAs).
