Great for copy paper, NOT FOR CARDSTOCK!
585391
After reading the reviews, I was excited to try the Hi-Vision Hi-Yields Toner Cartridge.  I run a preschool and spend about $100 or more per month on toner for my worksheets.  I made several copies on white copy paper and they turned out beautiful. I could honestly not tell the difference between this toner and the more expensive brand. Then I made several copies on white card stock. The copies came our smeared and unusable. The ink also rubbed off on my hands.  So I had to purchase the expensive brand for card stock and use this brand for the white copy paper copies.  I think it will still save me money, but it's a pain to change out toners for different types of paper.

These scissors are only suitable for printer paper. Its not made out titanium because I bought scotch brand to compare at the exact same time. These are not heavy duty scissors if you use it on heavy card stock or cardboard packaging with infused with hard plastic-impossible to open packages. "Amazon's choice" is more like "Amazon's lies". Im glad I ordered scotch to compare, but their weight is significant, these scissors are not made for multipurpose. The whole point of scissors is that I can use them in any situation.

I bought this hoping to print invitations with color photos on them.  The colors were washed out and the blacks were a muddy medium grey color on both my Canon Pixma Pro 9000 Mark II and Pro 10 printers, even with tweaked color profiles and even after heavily boosting the blacks.  I wasn't happy with the print quality at all using those inkjet printers (with dye based and pigment based inks, respectively).

This paper does work beautifully in my HP Laserjet Pro M252dw, but sadly that printer is less than stellar at printing photos.  So my conclusion is that this is a great paper for laser printers, but not so much for inkjets (at least not my higher end photo-specific printers).  If you're happy with the output of your project going through a laserjet, then you'll be very happy with this paper.  It's a nice, almost business card thickness paper, with a smooth surface on both sides.

Very nice quallity and whiteness. My HP Laser printer had some problems with this paper. Some spotting that appeared to be lack of adherence and a stripe like a scratch down one side. Same problem with some other 80# paper I bought elsewhere. I looked up the capacity for printer media and it only takes up to 59 pound cardstock or glossy. I apparently misread the specs on the printer before ordering the paper. I thought cardstock was cardstock, not realizing it varied so much in weight. My printer works perfectly on some EXACT Vellum Cover/Bristol that I had a printer cut down to 7 x 10 for me. It is described as 65# cover and 80# Bristol, just to make it more confusing. However I must hand score this paper, so looking for scored paper.
5 sheets inside the stack had one dinged corner. I used them for test prints.

I purchased this as an upgrade to a vintage inkjet printer. It was easy to set up and I do like some of the upgrades; It's really cool to be able to print from all of my devices including my phone with ease.

However, a month after my purchase I tried to print on card stock and then photo paper for my daughter's school project and the printer would NOT pick up the card stock or photo paper. I tried changing the settings and using different brands of card stock, then I googled the problem...It's a HUGE ISSUE. Google it yourself. "HP Officejet 8600 card stock"

...and yes I use my vintage inkjet to do project and photo printing...SMH

I purchased these business cards as I am starting up my own business.  I also purchased a Canon Pixma MG6120 printer along with these as my last HP Photosmart although good, was getting out dated and I wanted to make sure that I have a good printer to print a lot of my business documents on.  I know it sounds like i'm going on and on about printers but that is a large part about printing these cards in quality fashion but enough about the printer and onto the actual review of the cards.

I've noticed the background picture on my package is slightly different from the picture on Amazon (Maybe out dated) but it gets confusing.  My cards say exactly as followed as to avoid mixing up reviews.  Avery Ink Jet 8869 Print to the edge, clean edge Extra sturdy business cards.  White Matte finish 160 per package 8 per sheet 20 sheet count.

Card weight/quality:  These cards say extra sturdy, suggesting that they would be professional quality.  They are not.  They are not bad but I held up my printed business card next to my wifes professionally made corporate card and it was significantly more flexible.  I would imagine that over time these cards being stored in a wallet or anywhere else will take a beating and shrivel up considerably faster than a true extra sturdy card should.  In Avery's defense, I think they are trying to appeal to a more "generalized" market as a lot of users printers would struggle to feed the heavier weight card thus creating jamming issues and doing more harm than good.  I did not have jamming problems but one sheet refused to be "fed" into my printer for a while until I played with it a bit.

Print to the edge:  Holds true, I was able to print to the edge however I printed past the edge using the 8373 template as suggested by Avery.  It may not be a big deal for low volume printing but wasted ink will make an impact on your wallet should you print out several hundred of these.  Not sure if I can fully blame Avery on this one or if my business card creation software was to blame here, just throwing it out there.

Clean Edge:  I would say about 85% clean edge.  You still have to fold and tear apart.  I was really worried about this as I didn't want my cards "Looking" amateur made and shaggy.  At first glance they came out looking professional until you look up close you can see little tears in the edges of the card.  Not enough to be a deal breaker though.

Overall:  I am starting a mobile automotive detailing business, I am not in the business of making ultra fancy professional quality business cards.  I would recommend these to anyone that owns a small business that would benefit from having a business card.  With that being said, if you are very specific about wanting a professional quality card the only thing I'd be able to suggest is go to someone in the profession of doing just that.  If you're worried about all of the little details it's probably your best bet, but, these sure are nice for someone like me who would just like something to be able to hand out when the opportunity presents itself.

Personal Note:  I will be trying Avery's "Glossy" business cards.  I printed a background color on my cards and due to the paper type the ink sort of "faded" into the paper.  When I mentioned that they weren't the sturdiest card I've ever felt and especially if you are doing a background color where the whole card is colored it shrivels the card just a bit.  It didn't bleed through which I am glad.  Being in automotive detailing the "Gloss effect" is sort of what i'm looking for, a shiny card for a shiny car.  I will update my review when I give these cards a try and compare the two so that maybe someone can make a great decision from the start without having to experiment a bit like me.

Thanks for reading!

Says it's for LASER printer.  However, when I ran this through my HP Color Laser CP2025, I got ghosting since the textured paper does not touch all areas of the drum so what toner doesn't get deposited on the paper when the drum rolls, the toner gets deposited the next time around - where you don't want the toner.  Otherwise, the paper has a nice feel to it and I didn't have trouble feeding the paper through, though I only did one piece (this paper is heavy and might not feed properly if you put a stack of them in at the same time - see other reviewer comments).  Yes, I use genuine HP toner.

Update:  I used this product with an HP Color Laserjet 3500 and it worked well, so if you try it and it doesn't work well, hunt down a different color printer.  (So I upped my star rating since it will print well on some color printers.)

The texture is somewhat similiar to Strathmore's 140 pound 300 series cold press watercolor paper, a bit more shallow a texture though. This paper is usable. I really wanted to like it because of price, and the availability of 12"x18" pre-cut paper.

However, on the post cards at least, it's like they glued 2 different pieces together, one layer that had the texture of watercolor paper, that was super thin, and another that was printable card stock. I use masking tape for clean edges while I paint, and this paper, tore the worst out all the papers I've ever used. While lifting up the tape, that thin watercolor paper texture, tore right off, leaving an even layer of cardstockish paper.

So for my painting style, this paper will be unusable for serious works. My brother suggested that they possibly did that for the printing postcard on the otherside, so I'm curious what their other papers are like, I would love to give it another chance and will update this review, if I ever do.

The paper itself is exactly like high grade 20b copy machine paper. It has that gloss finish just like copy paper. I thought it would be more like good bond stationary, which it is not. For the price I was expecting more. I use sharpies quite a bit, so I tried on this paper. It bled through both sides and onto the next page just so you know.
The cardboard back is not thick enough to use this pad without a clip board if you are using on the go. It will and does bend under its own weight.
If you are using on a desk you are good to go though. The perforations are very micro, and I experienced some tears when I was removing pages.
Some people just love these pads as the greatest thing since sliced bread. I am glad they are happy and satisfied. I am going to keep looking for something a little better experience.

Feel thin for flash card but with double 5 mil film laminate or triple 3 mil film laminate, work great. I did try glued 2 paper sheets together and laminate with single layer 5 mil, I did not satisfy so after this paper pack done I might just use regular A4 with double 5 mil film laminate (it feels sturdy). I wish I could see/touch actual paper st store but no sample anywhere, the price is right,shipping is fast. But beware the laminate corners are sharp, I plan to curve around.

After 4 years, this ol' girl is tired. The Black and Color PCU's need replacing all the time, and it doesn't seem to do textured paper all that well.

BUT, it does wonderful on cardstock (single-sided) and it'll take most weights if you use "Transparency" settings.

Color-wise: It does really well over all... but the variation/gradation of Reds is where it chokes.

It worked in both my laser printers after specifying "heavy" and sliding it in the manual feed slot.  I didn't really understand what "index" meant - this is very heavy paper and it is good for printing placards and documents you don't want to bend.  I think I would have liked a better description like: "this not normal printer paper but very heavy paper".  But it was was reasonably priced and I'm sure I can find uses for it - just don't buy reams of it unless you are posting dog/cat lost posters :)

The content of the flash cards is very good. However, given the poor quality of the paper used I can't give this product more than 2-stars.  The manufacturer didn't use card stock, and in fact the paper feels like it is less than 20 lb. stock.  They really cut corners with the paper and I don't expect these cards to last.  I don't think using a good quality card stock would raise the price very much, but it would be worth it to have these cards last for even one semester.  I purchased these for my daughter who is taking 9th grade geometry.

After getting the Canon i960 printer, I had to try this paper.  One it was cheap.  And two, the diverse reviews here intrigued me to no end.  After making a few prints on this paper, I began to think I knew why the paper was so cheap...it was THAT bad!

Then, when I came to do a review, I fortunately read the one that cautioned printing on the right side of the paper.  There was a right side?  I then read the directions with the paper--there is indeed a right side, and it is whiter than the back.  It will be hard for some to tell the difference.  But the difference from printing on the right side and the wrong side is truly astounding! I'm a big glossy paper fan, but there is a nice look to this matte paper. And it is MUCH cheaper than the Photo Paper Pro.  It is also much cheaper than buying greeting card paper.

But be aware, the money you save not buying more expensive photo paper will be going to buying more ink.  Compared to glossy paper, this paper drinks ink.  I've been making calendars with it, and was shocked to see the way the ink was consumed.  Yet, I can't see making calendars with any paper than this.  It makes beautiful calendars!  I print a borderless 8x10 photo, using my Canon photo software on the bright white side, and a calendar page, using my calendar software, on the opposite side. The pages bind very easily with a 1/4 inch plastic binding comb.  And as I said, it makes a strikingly beautiful photo calendar.

Thus, if you have only one type of Canon paper on hand, I would have this one. But if you can't give up the glossy look for photos, it won't work for you. Personally, I prefer using Kodak paper when making glossy prints on my Canon. And Kodak has a satin finished paper, but there is the Kodak name all over the back.  One of the great things about this Canon paper is you can print on both sides. But do make certain you know the front from the back, before printing a photo.

I ordered this product for the specific purpose of folding brochures printed on 40# brochure paper. All of the research indicates that this is possible with this machine and the previous comments state the same. The manufacturer's website even says this machin ecan handle 16# to 80# paper. At best, I can get maybe 5 pages through it at a time before it overloads. Now it is overloading at 1 and not even completing the fold. I called the manufacturer and spoke with a tech who after doing some trouble shooting concluded that 40# paper is too thick and that only regular copy paper can be used in this machine. Terrible customer service and a huge waste of money. Don't waste your time or money on this unless the only thing you want it to fold are individual (one page) letters printed on nothing more than regular copy paper.

If you do not plan to use any NON-HP photo paper,
you can stop reading here.

I initially was so pleased with this printer:
1) easy to install/setup.
2) very fast.
3) duplex printing.
4) wireless.
5) etc...

UNTIL... I tried printing photos.

I have two type of photo paper Home:
1)Genuine HP "Arm&Leg cost" photo paper.
2)The very popular Costco (kirkland) premium photo paper.

I had no problem with the HP paper.

The only way I managed to have the printer feed the kirkland paper,
was by sticking a piece of masking tape (as found on a forum), on the
back of the paper. This gave enough grip to the picking roller, to
make the paper work with this printer.
The same paper works flawlessly in other HP printers and other brands.

If you plan on using this printer for photo printing without using HP photo
paper, I suggest you to google "hp 8600 will not feed photo paper"

Feel free to share your experiences (successful or not) with me.

This product is for a copy machine only. It will not work on your home printers. After reading the item description, and customer reviews, I thought I would give this a try on my home printer. Don't do it. The customer reviews stating that this does work on there printers are missleading !! You need Translucent Vellum. The item description and customer reviews need to be changed to make this known. I'm sure this will work great for COPY MACHINES. Not your home printers !!
