Koala Thick Photo Paper 8.5x11 Inches Heavyweight Double Sided High Glossy 100 Sheets 260gsm only Compatible with Inkjet Printer

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 have purchased this multiple times. This paper prints really beautifully. I never have any transfer. The colors are vivid, and it also cuts really beautifully. I make bookmarks and cards with it and I get a lot of compliments on the quality of this paper.

Great one sided paper. Back side smears, but it’s only designed for one side. Great quality & thickness

Part of our work relies on printing with papers like this. We love its quality and how the printer ink adheres to it. Koala is unparalleled, and we'll be buying many more soon. Highly recommended!

works well, nice vibrant color when printing

This is a great product you can print on both sides of the paper it's very smooth and the printer catches it easily I used it for graduation fans it was good quality I sprayed it with acrylic sealer the photo didn't bleed and it's the test of time it even got wet and the photo is still intact the paper was awesome I would highly recommend if you are looking to print folder photos if you're looking for alternative than to use cardstock you will get a better quality and it was easy to cut with a cricut and or exacto knife

Finally a double sided heavy glossy photo paper stock that not only prints beautifully on my Canon Pixma-200 but also did not smudge and did not crater when it came to moisture! The stock itself resembles a 3 mil lamination, so how does it take to a Scotch 3 mil pouch lamination? Beautifully! I kinda wish the Koala Brand folks would update their consumer videos to match the Koality of their product. Even the packaging has a funky translation which made me kind of leery until the first side of my project printed and then I was delighted. I dampened a tissue and my ink did not smudge or budge. Did a print then cut on a Cricut and my double sided cards look great but have a slightly rubbery finish.

De mis papeles favoritos. Su textura es glossy y agradable. Te funciona para tarjetas de presentación como manualidades con foto.

This Koala thick photo paper feels sturdy, prints sharp images and delivers rich color on both sides. The heavyweight 260gsm thickness gives a premium feel without curling and the high gloss finish makes photos look crisp. If you want reliable double sided photo paper for home printing this pack is excellent value.

Tardo mucho menos de lo estipulado pero el embalaje no me gusto no venia bien protejito es papel fotografico y el paquete venia abiertode su celofan

El papel es de buena calidad, pero llego matratado y manchado , solo envuelto en plastico , pesimo embalaje

The best product for photo paper and creative craft I get used for different products and projects and look incredible

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!
