    It is interesting to read that so many of you have ordered the so-called "glossy" paper which is in fact "matt". Equally it is interesting to read that deliveries have been made.

    What does equally interest me is that not one of you have stated your verdict on this "cheapie" paper. I'm not knocking you, but in the past I too have sucumbed to "cheapie" photographic paper and been less than satisfied with it. Now I have draws of the stuff which isn't much use at all.

    Maybe during the next few days, soemone will actually use the stuff and put it to the test.

    Island-man in my first post i said it was matt paper
    It is matt paper but hubby assures me photos still come out nice. Ordered two packs.

    And in my second post I "stated my verdict"
    forgot to say mine came!! They are very good quality

    hope that helps you decide whether or not to get some. :)

    Just done a test print. Paper is great, esp for less than 2pence a sheet. Obviously it is not a premium paper. It is photo quality paper. But it is nice.
    Glossy is still my favourite type tho.

    I got mine, and it looks exactly the same as other cheapie photo paper i've got. Has a bit of a shine on it- is theis normal for 'matt' paper? i was expecting no shine at all.
    i'm still happy tho for £2
    thanks to op ;D

    correction to my earlier post.

    on further investigation, the top copy only os a glossy sheet, obviously in there in error. the rest are matt, just like good quality reasonably thick paper.

    anyway, tried one out, and the photos i get are much better in terms of colour than on my cheap glossy paper ;D
