I was wary of this product after reading varied reviews, but many of the negative reviews appear to be based on mistaken expectations. In truth, everything I have printed on this photo paper is beautifully clear and vibrant, from photos to intricate graphics for paper miniatures. The results for graphics are especially stunning. This photo paper is not "just" cardstock, but rather cardstock with a special matte printing surface. Keep in mind that the glossy photo paper is also simply cardstock, but with a glossy printing surface. The matte and glossy photo papers are the same weight (45 lb) so I don't understand complaints about flimsiness. This is just the matte version of the Canon glossy 4x6 photo paper, which currently boasts a 5-star average rating. Things to keep in mind about the matte photo paper: - This is matte photo paper, NOT glossy. Do not expect glossy photos on this paper. - This is cardstock with a matte finish. Remember that glossy photo paper is just cardstock with a glossy finish. - The paper has a front side and a back side, with the printing surface whiter than the back side. - Printers may print differently on glossy and matte photo paper, so be sure to choose "matte photo paper" from your print dialog. This is a beautiful photo paper that yields beautiful photos and graphics.

This photo paper is no bueno. The pictures do not come out well at all. it's great for postcards, but not for pictures of family or friends to hang on the wall or frame.

As a professional photographer for over 40 years, I could not believe that Canon would pass off card stock as photo paper, but it is TRUE! This is not photo paper, don't waste your money on it. I used 1 sheet and I want to find out how to get a refund on a product that is not what it is advertised to be.
