   I’m a photo teacher and an experienced printer. This paper is strange in a couple ways. For one, the description here on B&H (and in other places) lists it as a double-sided paper. But, as you can see by zooming in on the box cover, it says it’s single sided on the box. When you open the box, the top of the paper (the face-up side) is slightly warm tone. The back is white. Given that, and given the fact that the paper is called warm tone, you’d probably assume that the face-up side is the printable side. But…when you print on that side, you’ll see that your images look washed out and you lose a lot of sharpness compared to any other digital paper. So, I tried printing on the back, the white side, and lo and behold – I get all my rich tones and sharpness back. So, I’m sort of miffed. Who puts paper in a box face down? That seems weird, doesn’t it? Ok, all that said – the paper is super affordable. And the white side is just fine to use. And, it’s the heaviest paper I’ve been able to find, which works great for me because I’m making decorative pieces that aren’t meant to be framed, so I need them to be sturdy. One thing to keep in mind – your printer might not like this paper. I’m printing on my Epson SureColor P800 and it’s working in the sheet feeder, but it’s not supposed to. If you try to feed it in via the back, poster board feeder or the front feeder, it won’t accept 5×7 size.

   It probably is a good paper but its thickness prevents it to getting fed in my Canon Pro 100 printer. It doesn’t flex enough.
