THIS TIME OF year is a busy one for
printing photos, greeting cards, party
invitations, etc. And printing these items
from an inkjet printer onto glossy photo
paper makes those colors jump out. But
photo paper can be expensive.
Comparable to, or surpassing brand-name products, Kirkland Signature™
Professional Glossy Photo Paper is a
high-quality, premium-weight, resin-coated media that dries instantly and
consistently produces vivid color prints,
but it won’t break your budget.
“For the 8½ x 11-inch paper, you’ll
find packages under name brands for as
much as $29.82 for a pack of 100 sheets.
Kirkland Signature Photo Paper delivers
150 sheets for $18.99—about a 40 percent
savings,” says Colin Wes, Costco’s office
products buyer.
The price doesn’t mean a sacrifice of
quality. “Our supplier has exceeded the
specifications we gave them, especially in
regard to opaqueness and brightness,”
says Colin. “They came up with a unique
special emulsion process that makes the
paper dry quickly and has superior water
resistance. And it’s compatible with all
inkjet printers.
“It features a smooth high-gloss finish and the look and feel of fine photographic paper, with the perfect balance of
weight and thickness. If you make it too
thin, it’s flimsy; too thick and it jams the
printer,” Colin adds.
In the warehouses, you’ll find the
8½ x 11-inch paper. Costco.com offers
that and other sizes, from 4 x 6 inches to
13 x 19 inches.
A quick look at the reviews on
Costco.com shows how pleased members
are at the cost and results of printing on
Kirkland Signature Photo Paper.
“Jcook” in South Padre, Texas, writes,
“I am a seasonal photographer who takes
between 3,000 to 5,000 photos a summer.
I have tried a lot of photo paper, but
penny for penny this paper is the best I
have used.”—Steve Fisher
