Staples Double-Sided Matte Photo Paper

Since getting into photography recently, I have been spending a lot of time looking at my photos on my computer, but I haven't gotten prints much.I kept hesitating, because I tried a few photo print places, and they all seemed to change the colors on my prints when I wanted them to be just as I had taken them.

I decided to try to print out a couple of black & white and sepia tone photos from my home printer.I happened to have a sheet or two of glossy paper, and I didn't like the shininess of the paper, and when I tried to frame the photo, the glossy paper stuck to the glass.I decided to look for some matte paper instead.

Staples happened to be having a sale on photo paper- half off!So, I picked up this photo supreme matte paper to try it out- it comes with 50 sheets of 8.5 x 11" paper, so it is easy to use in the printer.First of all, when I opened the paper, I was really skeptical, because it definitely is NOT like the matte photo paper you get when you get prints at the store.This basically feels like a thick cardstock, with the surface of the paper being ever so slightly more "rough" feeling than regular paper.

I printed out a test photo- and was very happily surprised!The photo turned out beautifully!The colors stayed very true to what I wanted, and the picture was very crisp and clear.This paper also passed my "framing test" easily- it looked great in the frame, and did not stick to the glass.Since there was no glare from the paper, the photo looks great on the wall.I would definitely recommend this paper to anyone!
