Summary: This is one of a kind 4" x 6" photo paper i ever had. I use it with Sony DPP-EX5 photo printer which produce very good picture quality.

Strengths: Excellent Quality, Reasonable speed, Acceptable Price.

Weaknesses: Ink And paper still a little expensive.

Summary: Using this paper/ink set and a dpp-ex50 Printer you can produce professional quality prints. One would be hard pressed to tell the difference between film prints and digital prints. It still some what expensive at about $0.50 a print but with digital I only print my best pics. Conventional film processing is cheaper per print but I will end up with 32-34 bad pictures I don't want anyway. So in the end its less expensive then film.

Strengths: Great, continuous tone photos more like the real thing. Better than an inkjet printer. Print excellent pics right from home!!

Weaknesses: Cost of the paper/ink is by far the largest drawback. I also accidentally put the paper in the wrong direction and then ended up with a white strip that was not printed on one end. My fault.

Summary: Hands down creates the best prints I've seen for a consumer level product. I am a graphic designer who works with images and printing everyday and these are better prints than from a top of the line inkjet printer. That being said, the only negatives to this paper is how expensive it is. SONY has proprietary shape ink cartridge and dye-sublimation paper that come in this kit and they are expensive compared to inkjet. If you can find this paper for sale cheap (less than ¢50 sheet you are doing good. Other than that a really great paper and printer.
