1 Kodak Ultima A4 paper
This is excellent paper for colour and b/w photographs on a Canon i560. It is far superior, especially with dark colours, to the equivalent Fuji 270g paper.
2 Just requires some tweaking
I agree with the other reviews...canon paper for canon printers is best..but you CAN get decent quality from Kodak...just go to their site and write down the recommended settings and voila!
3 Disappointing
VERY disappointing. Canon 4x6 paper pro is way better.
4 The absolute worst photo paper
We just purchased a new Canon printer and it came with a sample pack of Canon 4x6 photo pro paper. We were printing the same photo with different color settings to see how vivid we could make the photo and ran out of the Canon paper. So, we opened the package of Kodak 4x6 paper we purchased and the size is not even the same. Kodak 4x6 paper is actually 4x6.5
The quality of the photo compared to the other 3 we printed on the Canon paper is absolutely horrible. I belive it is b/c the paper does not absorb the ink quickly enough and beads up on the surface of the paper.
Buy Canon paper it is much better.
5 Waste of Money
This is my first review on Amazon. I decided to write it because I am completely dissatisfied with the Kodak Ultima Paper. As other reviews have mentioned, the labeling is misleading. It is NOT 4x6 paper. When you print, there is a small white band remaining. Furthermore, the quality and gloss of the paper are horrible. Stick with the Canon paper. This is a waste of money.
6 Far inferior to Canon Photo Paper Pro
My Canon S750 had come with 5 sheets of Canon Photo Paper Pro, which produced excellent, borderless photos. After depleting those five, I'd purchased a 75-pack (!) of this Kodak Ultima paper -- a complete mistake.
As others have indicated, the paper is not actually 4x6, which is entirely misleading. Additionally, the "gloss" on this paper is nowhere near true-photo glossiness, as Canon's paper had been.
When these 75 are gone (ugh), I'll stick to Canon.
7 Misleading Packaging
If it says 4x6, isn't that what you should get! I wanted to make borderless prints on my Canon i850 and ended up with a white band on top. I thought my printer was having problems till I measured the kodak paper and found out that it was much bigger. Thinking I had got a bad batch, as nowhere on the package did it say 4x7, I e-mailed Kodak and they were not responsive. Luckily it is only paper. Imagine a higher priced item with such a neglect of information or bad service! Stick with the canon paper....
8 Best paper
This paper is far superior to others I've tried (HP, Epson) on my Canon S820 printer. Really quite a dramatic difference to the comparable high quality papers from those other manufacturers.
9 Great Paper Strange Size
This is top quality paper. Prints come out great using the Canon I850 Printer. The only problem is the paper is not 4 x 6. It is 4 x 6 1/2. This leaves some blank space on the end of the paper. If it wasn't for this problem I would say this was the best paper available.
10 Adequate for testing
After further review, I've changed my rating.
I got this sample pack of Kodak paper free when I purchased my Canon i850 (which also came with a sample pack of the Canon Photo Paper Pro).
The Kodak paper is not as good as the Photo Paper Pro. I've had the best success printing on it with the paper type set to Photo Paper Pro. The pictures printed on it are less glossy then those printed on the Photo Paper Pro and show banding. Also the paper seems to respond poorly to chnages in temperature and humidity.
The paper itself is 1/2" too long (4"x6.5") which can leave a white border on one end if you don't adjust for it.
I wouldn't buy this paper, but it's worth getting the free package to try for yourself.
