Things to like, things to pay attention to.First off (and most important), this paper makes gorgeous prints. Exquisite details, beautiful color, Handles flawlessly. Heavy stock, no doubt archival quality.Things to pay attention to: surprisingly, Koala does not offer ICC profiles, which are printer/media specific, but not all printers print colors the same way in their "native" states, and even then, will render color and detail differently on different papers. So the first thing I did when I got this stock was to pull out the trusty Datacolor Spyder and make an ICC profile for this stock. And so my prints are spectacular.Only downside: of the first 14 pages I printed, two had slight smears. I'm printing with an Epson EC-8550 and using Epson Eco Tank ink. Could be the ink, could be a hiccup in feeding (double-sided glossy), won't now until several hundred prints down the road. I like the way my prints render on the double-sided stock so much, that I have ordered some single-sided heavy stock (for framing vs. booklets).My first and very satisfying outing with Koala. Since most of the premium photo stock paper producers offer ICC profiles for a wide range of printers, I was surprised that Koala does not. OK, the Datacolor Spyder that you use to make an ICC profile is not free, but it talks only about ten minutes to make a custom ICC profile with the Spyder. You print a target, scan it with the Spyder, Datacolor creates the profile, and even puts it into the correct location for your printer. Making the ICC profile for your new stock is just part of the process.OK, one more step. Most print routines suggest you use color management as determined by the app (Photoshop, Affinity Photo, InDesign, Affinity Designers, etc), so you have to change the color management when you print - to Managed by Printer, and then select the specific printer/media ICC profile. OK, that's what the pros do.Be a pro.

I decided to start making coloring books for my small business and I wasn’t sure what kind of cover to use. This works nice. One small qualm is it can kinda stick to your fingers but it’s not really a big deal. Prints great with an inkjet and looks nice

I used this paper with a Canon Pro-100 printer and Canon inks. The heavy weight is not a problem with this printer. The image dried quickly and I printed the back side after about 60 seconds. While the image was not quite as rich compared to the Canon paper I normally use, it was quite acceptable for the greeting cards I was producing. I need to work on a better system for scoring in order to fold, but my rotary scoring wheel did an acceptable job. Given the low cost of this paper, I am very pleased with my purchase.

I had been searching for a good thick stock paper with a gloss for multiple purposes ESPECIALLY cover pages. I saw an ad on facebook for this paper but used for creating TCG packs. (Also on my list ) gave it a shot and it worked perfectly! My 4 star reflects the packaging and minor damages upon arrival.This works and feeds with an ET-2803. No smudgingMake sure you select glossy, and standard print. Otherwise your paper will be oversaturated and smudge instead of drying quickly.

I bought this paper for making thank you cards for my small business. The paper is very thick and feels great to hold, print quality is super nice. I have a front feed printer and it still goes through, but of course check with your printer that it will feed!One negative that I will say is that each side has a slightly different texture. One side is smooth and one side has a slight texture to it. No big deal to me but keep that in mind if something like that would bother you!
