Fantastic paper, looks great, but what a curl [Posted on 2002-09-06]
I have used two whole rolls of this in my (new last year) Epson Photo 890 printer. I printed about ~40 Christmas photos last year and nobody could tell these were not professional prints.

You do have to read and remember the procedure to align the paper and the paper handling mechanisms, but that's to be expected. Also, it takes a little hunting to find the proper settings in all the print dialog setup windows, but it's pretty easy overall.

One complaint: it takes a lot of effort to get the curl out of the prints.

Great quality, bad curl [Posted on 2002-09-17]
I like the other reviewers had much luck with this paper. The quality is gorgeous, people can't tell that my prints are from a printer and not from a developer. I have an Epson 890 printer and a Kodak DX3900 3.1 Megapixel camera.

I did notice a couple of things, the colors come out much richer than they appear on the screen. It takes some playing around with the settings on the printer. Another thing is that prints look a little different right out of the machine then they do when they dry. And it does say to allow 24 hours to dry.

Some advice, cut the prints as you go, otherwise you have a 4 foot long curl and you have to touch all of the prints to seperate them for proper drying.

Also the curl is BAD. They give you a plastic sheet to wrap your photos in to unravel the curls but it takes two or three times to make them lay flat. Its like a poster, you have to roll it the wrong way to make the curl come out. I suggest waiting until the photos are dry and rolling them as tight as possible. Even then the curl isn't completely out for good. Its out enough to hang them on the wall (I hang mine with only one magnet). The ends curled up again a little after a couple of minutes but its not bad enough to make the photos separate themselves from the wall.

The quality is great, the prints are great, if you're going to mount them in frames or an album then you will have no problems. Even with the curl its not bad enough to make me not buy another roll.

Use the roll paper ! [Posted on 2002-09-27]
I use an Epson 1280. The prints are great.

In order to have borderless prints at 2880 dpi, your only alternative is to use the roll paper. If you want borderless prints and you use sheets, then you can only print at 1440 dpi. With the roll paper, you can achieve that at 2880dpi. That's why it is best to use the roll paper.

I have read some reviews here that complain about the curl of the paper. It is simple to correct this. I do my prints and then let them stay on a long roll for 24 hours to dry. Then you simply roll the paper in the opposite direction of the curl and then when you unroll, the paper is straight and ready to be cut. It's that simple.

Paper curl [Posted on 2002-10-24]
Great paper. Convenient to print large numbers of prints. But, it comes off the roll curved and no amount of effort can straighten it. Wish it were not so.

Paper great; Curls Not great [Posted on 2002-12-18]
This is great paper for printing 4x6 pictures. I used it on my 785EPX and also on my 825. You can't tell the difference between photolab & the printed one. The quality is EXCELLENT. Unfortunately, you can't get the pictures to lie flat no matter what you do. I've laid heavy books on the pictures and the still pop-up. It's easier to use Epson 4 X 6 Borderless Photo Paper, same quality, but the pictures are flat.
