Performance & Testing
I tested the 200G-20S using a variety of printers and ink types, including both dye-based and pigment-based inks. The results were generally positive. The glossy finish produced vibrant, sharp images with excellent color reproduction. The waterproof nature was impressive; after intentionally splashing water on the printed photos, there was minimal color bleeding or smudging. However, I noticed slight differences in print quality depending on the printer and ink used. Pigment-based inks generally produced slightly more saturated and long-lasting prints.
One aspect I carefully considered was the drying time. The paper dried relatively quickly, minimizing the risk of smudging after printing. However, depending on the amount of ink used, it did take a little longer than some other glossy papers I have used in the past.
I also printed some text-heavy documents to check how well the ink held up. The text was crisp and clear, and again, showed excellent resistance to water.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Vibrant colors, sharp image detail, excellent water resistance, convenient A4 size, relatively quick drying.
- Cons: Drying time could be slightly faster, minor variation in print quality depending on printer/ink used, limited quantity in the pack (might need to buy multiple packs for larger projects).
Final Verdict
Overall, the 20 Sheet Waterproof Glossy Inkjet Photo Paper A4 (200G-20S) delivers on its core promise. The waterproof and glossy properties are excellent, making it a great choice for photos and documents that need protection. While there are minor drawbacks concerning drying time and the small pack size, these are easily outweighed by the superior print quality and water resistance.
I would confidently recommend this photo paper for individuals needing high-quality, waterproof prints. It’s a great option for preserving precious memories or creating professional-looking documents. Just be aware that purchasing multiple packs may be necessary for larger projects.
