Review: Brilliant double-sided matte paper for portfolios, booklets, and art prints - I picked up this Koala A3 230gsm double-sided matte paper for printing high-quality layouts, photo presentations, and portfolios, and it has absolutely exceeded my expectations for the price point. Weight & Feed Quality: At 230gsm, this paper hits the perfect sweet spot. It feels substantial and premium—very much like a heavy cardstock—without being so thick that it struggles to feed. Running large A3 sheets can sometimes cause feed errors on standard inkjet printers, but using the rear manual feed tray, these sheets glide through smoothly with zero jams or multi-sheet pulling. Print Quality & Finish: The matte coating on both sides is exceptionally clean, smooth, and entirely glare-free. Colors come out beautifully saturated, and text is incredibly sharp with crisp edges. What impressed me most was the opacity; even with heavy color graphics and dense blacks printed on one side, there is virtually zero shadow or ink bleeding through to the reverse side. It’s perfect for booklets, calendars, or double-sided portfolio sheets. A Quick Tip for Best Results: To get the most out of this paper, do not leave your printer on the default "Plain Paper" setting, or your prints will look dull and washed out. Switch your printer’s media type to "Matte Photo Paper" or "Premium Matte" and set the quality to "High." This tells the printer to lay down the correct amount of ink, delivering deep blacks and rich, accurate colors. Verdict: If you want ultra-glossy, traditional high-shine photos, look elsewhere. But if you are looking for a professional, understated matte finish for art prints, brochures, presentations, or photo portfolios, this 100-sheet pack is incredible value for money. Will definitely be buying again. Footnote: I used this in a Brother MFC-J5340DW A3 printer using non-Brother inks purchased from desertcart and the results have been really good, better than when using glossy paper (also Koala). Review: great quality and value. - Beautiful very thick high quality photo paper,. it's heavy enough weight to stand as a card when folded, great for printing both sides, feels like a really high quality card finish, holds ink superbly, and I'm blown away by the value, so many sheets for a relatively low price. So fantastic. It's a matte finish, not gloss which is exactly what I want, no high shine finish just beautiful clear images. No smudging when printing, just all round exactly what I needed and wanted. This did need a little wiggling to feed in to my printer... I have a HP deskjet, and much thicker it would possibly not have gone,. but it works well once caught by the rollers. ## Features - Fast Dry, Resists Smudging, Smearing and Scratches.

My Brother printer wouldn't print on it. The paper jammed the printer when I tried to print A4 sheets. **Q: Can we write with pencil on it???** A: I have but it’s not great **Q: Anyone uses on HP envy printer? How is it?** A: Don't know that printer, but on my Canon iX6850 it was best to feed sheets one at a time, 2 or more jamming. Good quality prints though. **Q: does it has a smooth surface? I bought a Satin finish but it was grainy** A: Yes it is exceptionally smooth, feeding can be a problem however with the heavier papers,my printer has a rear feed tray which gives a relatively flat feed path! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant double-sided matte paper for portfolios, booklets, and art prints *by L***Y on 20 May 2026* I picked up this Koala A3 230gsm double-sided matte paper for printing high-quality layouts, photo presentations, and portfolios, and it has absolutely exceeded my expectations for the price point.

So fantastic. It's a matte finish, not gloss which is exactly what I want, no high shine finish just beautiful clear images. No smudging when printing, just all round exactly what I needed and wanted. This did need a little wiggling to feed in to my printer... I have a HP deskjet, and much thicker it would possibly not have gone,. but it works well once caught by the rollers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice heavyweight card, double sided printing *by P***F on 22 March 2024* When this package arrived I was suprised how heavy and deep the box was, over 25mm deep with the 100 sheets of 230gsm inkjet photo paper which is more like card than paper. The quality of this photo paper/card is very good, not bright white but not off white either, the matt surface making it non reflective. When placed in my Canon printer the thickness of the paper is automatically detected and adjustment made, I believe not all printers do this and manual adjustment may need to be made for this heavyweight card. The printed results are very good the big advantage for me is that I needed to print on both sides, this obtained without problem as the ink dries quickly on the matt surface allowing a fast turn around if required, both sides of the paper giving equally good results both in black print and colour photgraphs. My reverse sided printing not attempted via printer auto feed double sided printing as I consider this card to thick and may curl, I prefer to print one side and let the ink dry whilst the card flat and then print the opposite side, smudging not a problem with multiple copies as the ink dry before the next copy printed and landing on top. Whilst results very dependant on quality of ink and printer I found no fault with this paper/card, the printed design on either side as good as the other, for me exactly what I required. ## Frequently Bought Together - KOALA Double Sided Matte Inkjet Photo Paper A4, 230gsm, 100 Sheets for Inkjet Printers.
