KOALA PAPER Pearl Glossy Thin Photo 8.5x11 Inches 40 Sheets 30lbs Shiny for Diy Chip Bag Compatible with Inkjet and Laser Printer Use DYE INK

In the process of looking for good paper for color laser printing photos, I found this interesting medium.The result has a really interesting shine to it -- the white/very light areas glow a bit in the light, and the whole effect is somewhat reminiscent of those photos printed on metal you may have seen.There's a tiny bit of visual texture to it, so I'd steer clear if all you're looking for is the absolutely highest fidelity reproduction. If you want to produce some cool novelties that look good, I'd recommend trying it.(I have no idea what all this printing of "chip bags" is that they go on about in the product page, or in some of the reviews. But apparently it's good for that. And I guess I can kinda see how the material would work in that context)

There is nothing on the product package that confirms it is suitable for use in laser printers, even though the Amazon description says it is. So I was a little wary using it in my Canon imageclass. But it printed beautifully. I used a heavyweight paper setting to allow more time in the fuser for the toner to set and the manual feed tray to reduce curling. The pearl sheen is subtle when printed, which suits my needs. I hadn't bought "thin" paper before so the paper weight is actually heavier than I expected. It was a little bit heavy for chip bags but useable and is perfect for printing photos to use in crafting.

I used these for my granddaughter chip bag. Came out nice and glossy.

Adds a little something extra to your projects. Prints beautiful colours and has a slight sparkle finish to it. Perfect for use with "Print and Cut" using a Cricut. Works out to about 40 cents a sheet Canadian and is worth every penny!

Absolutely LOOOOOOVE this pearl paper!!!
