Not for Pro's... 
2007-11-27
Well, it's genuine Canon... It's all dependes what you expect from this paper. If you used to "matte" in meaning of Ilford or Kodak or HP you will be disappointed because this paper looks and feels like heavy weight high resolution paper-definately not "photo" paper. I personally recommend Ilford...
okay 2007-10-29
when i think matte i think professional pictures, but that is not what this is at all. it is a very dull photo paper.
Not For Photo Printing 
2007-08-06
This paper is only good for printing invitations or test pictures. It feels flimsy and the pictures quality is poor. It is like using good quality letter paper for pictures. I have used other photo paper (Epson & Kodak) which have been far superior and would recommend if you want beautiful quality, long lasting pics. Buy this only if you want a quick post card, invitation, cheap holiday pictures, etc.
Matte 4x6 Canon Photo Paper disappointed me big time 
2007-08-01
I expected the matte style to be similar to that I received at the Fotomat where I paid for prints. This is much more like printing on cardboard. As my wife said when she first viewed, "it looks like you printed on the back of a legal tablet. It looks that flat, dull, unappealing, even with a beautiful color image to print.
I am so disappointed I try to give it away to a couple of friends who have their own printers. When I showed them my results, without telling them first what I thought of it, they simply declined saying they preferred the glossy look. When I told them I hated the look, they breathed a sigh of relief and told me how horrible they too thought they looked. I also showed them some semi-gloss and glossy Canon prints from my PIXMA Pro9000, they thought they were marvelous.
Don't buy unless you see an example first in person, otherwise, you too might have wasted good money. I still have one more pack let and am debating to send it back to Amazon or not, as I am not the type to often complain or ask for a refund.
One last negative comment, and believe me, I have no positive comments to make about this paper, is that you can't even tel which side is the correct side to print. Other Canon paper has the words Canon written all over the back of the paper, but you don't need it as the glossy really stands out, but on this paper, where you really have a difficult time telling front from back, their is no writing to help you. I actually had to print on the back of one paper and then the other side in order to tell, and then there was very little difference, thus showing just how bad this paper is!
highly recommend

I highly recommend this paper. I managed a high end pro photo lab for 10 years and now that I am a hobbyist and like to print at home this is my favorite paper to use. Just be sure to load it in the printer correctly. If you print on the wrong side it looks very bad.
Not photo paper. 2008-05-26
I should have believed the plethora of reviews stating that this is cardstock, not photo paper. I thought "Canon can't be deceiving loyal customers who just spent hundreds of dollars on a new printer." I was wrong.
This is not Photo Paper! This is cardstock!! 2008-03-23
I purchased this paper with the assumption that this would be photo paper - that is what it says in the description after all. I just opened this and what do I find, not photo paper, but cardstock. Do not buy this product. It is not what it says it is. Shame on you Canon!
Great quality IF YOU USE THE RIGHT SIDE 2008-03-16
This photo paper makes excellent quality matte photos ONLY if you use the right side of the paper. I mistakenly used the wrong side and the photo was terrible. I redid the photo on the right side and the results were wonderful!
You must be sure you are printing on the BRITE WHITE side of the paper and not the yellower side as already stated in an earlier review.
If you like matte photos you should really like this paper if you use it properly.
overpriced cardstock 2008-01-11
Save yourself the money and buy cardstock. This does not look like a professionally printed matte photo. It's just a bunch of cardstock. Way overpriced!
High Quality Matte Photo Paper 
2007-12-29
These bad boys are thick and sturdy, very bright, and contains the printed image beautifully.
High Gloss Ultra Premium Professional Photo Paper (or any other of its 10,000 other names) might be the fashion trend with the status quo nowadays, but for me I prefer printing on matte paper any day.
The ink dries instantaneously, and the colors, contrast, etc. pop out like no other - no more waiting forever for glossy prints to dry, no more smudgy fingers!
I'm not a professional printer, but in my experience nothing beats printing on matte paper, and these Canon papers are simply awesome.
BTW - I live in Hawaii and all the big local office supply stores (Office Max, Office Depot, CompUSA, Walmart, etc.) simply don't carry 4x6 matte photo paper anymore. The answers I get are like, "oh, they just don't send us anymore so we don't carry them."
I don't even know who else besides Canon makes them, but it will be a very sad day if they ever decide to cease producing them.
Don't let 4x6 matte photo paper go into extinction!
