Is this paper glossy? Does the ink smear if you make 2 sided color copies?

It is not glossy, but a full-color print will have a sheen (at least in my laser printer). I'm sorry I don't know about double-sided copies.

No, it isn't gloss and I've never had the ink smear. I did find a source about 50% cheaper than this one, but still buy the same brand of paper for the last two years. Try DiscountOfficeItems.com. And I always make double-sided copies with lots of color--never once had a laser copy bleed through or smear.

The paper is a bright matte finish. The heaviness of the paper makes it perfect for two-sided printing. I use it for two-sided printing on both inkjet and laser printers. It does not bleed through the way 20-24 lb paper does.

paper isn't glossy and I've been using it for 2 sided color copies without the ink running through. It's definitely an excellent paper to use.

No. The paper is not glossy. So far, it has not smeared, and I occasionally do two-sided printing. The only time I had a smear issue is when I printed on standard envelopes. A call to Canon (I have a Pixma inkjet printer) and they suggested changing my settings when I print envelopes. Their suggestion worked perfectly. After I printed my envelopes, I went back to my normal settings. Canon support is excellent, even for Canon products beyond warranty. If you have a smearing issue, I suggest calling the printer manufacturer. Hope this is helpful.

I have not tried double sided printing with it, but it does not feel any more thin than any other regular copy and printing paper does. Its not card stock as you know, but does not seem extra "thin" as others have stated. I have not had any trouble printing or copying with it. Never gets stuck while printing either.

Yes it is. We just printed our Christmas letter on both sides. Pics and printing are crisp. The ink dries fast with no smudges. This is not glossy photo paper but brochure paper.

It's not like a glossy paper or a glossy photo. It's not completely matte either though. It has some type of coating. But I use glossy paper all the time and this is not.

I have not noticed any coating as they have a matte finish. There is a smooth finish but not slick or glossy. I have never had any problem with using an ink jet printer and never any smearing of ink on the cards I use. I've used this product for many years and am completely satisfied.

When you choose matte or glossy paper the inks will switch to the correct ink. Be aware that the system flushes the lines every time you switch and that users a lot of ink, so if you can print all of one kind then all of the other as opposed to switching back and forth all the time

I print on the shinier side and I have had no problem. I use Canon ink. Could it be your ink instead of your settings? I hope you can solve your problem. I really like the paper.

I use glossy paper for photos. When you select glossy paper you'll see and advisory that duplex printing can cause paper jams with that paper. Otherwise it works wonderfully.

It does great double sided printing...I do it all the time and am very happy with it. I haven't tried to do copies that way so I cannot say for sure about that.

It does print double sided and I've printer a word document double side.But if the document is complicated with pictures, columns or tables, my experience is that the printer does A LOT of jamming.

Hmmmm...not sure I understand.It's good paper, 4x6, and depending on your printer configuration, it will print the entire area of the paper.I don't know about the matte, I bought the glossy.But usually, the finish covers the entire side of the paper. :-)

No its not glossy, its more of a smooth sheen. I really recommend it highly, its thicker than most card stock and I got raves about the quality of my Christmas cards. Plus the price is reasonable.

I don't think they are. There is no glossy side; one can print on either side. It is a "matte finish". I like them.

I didn't see any mention of it being special paper. It is a nice thick, smooth (semi-gloss) paper. I scanned my prints so that I have an electronic copy as well so I could just print it in case anything happens to the original.

Unfortunately I cannot help you there. I am using it on an inkjet. However I would think it wouldn't smear because it is a matte finish and not glossy. I would think it would smear if this paper was glossy. But unfortunatly I haven't been able to use it on a color last printer.

Hi Mciver. I haven't tried printing on a glossy card stock yet, so I'm not sure if it will show a glossy or smooth finish, but I think I know exactly what you're asking. I have seen some prints that have a glossy finish from laser printers, even if it is just on a regular paper. The prints on this one has a more luster/matter finish instead of glossy (when printing pictures).

It is not glossy. It is regular paper and somewhat heavyweight (not flimsy.)
