Box was partially opened and damaged on one side right out of the Amazon plastic shipping bag - not sure if it was caused in the delivery and handling since we have some Amazon drivers in our area who like to sling our packages from half way up the sidewalk some days. Or could have already been shipped out damaged…from reading other reviews this wouldn’t be surprising. Luckily the ink and cards where still intact and both in their sealed sleeves and I purchased kit on sale so I opted to go ahead and try them out.They do have the post card look to the one side with a stamp box in the upper corner and a divider line in the center. Would have been nice if the address lines were there but that would be getting nit picky.The backside is a little different texture for writing - almost has more of a paper like feel so we will see how easy writing on them will be.They printed the same as the regular Canon sheets do for the Selphy printer. No issues there. Not a lot of direction anywhere on how to use them or design them if you are needing that type of info…you’ll have to search.Overall they worked pretty good for what I needed them for. Printed onto easy. Still have to write on them and mail them but can update with that info later.Would I buy this pack again…probably not. The price and amount you get - isn’t really worth it especially when there are better packages and deals where you get a lot more for your money and the thickness of these isn’t really postcard thickness or size so my expectations for them to really hold up isn’t really worth the more expensive price tag.I love how easy to use the SELPHY C910 printer is - the form factor is small and the ink and paper come in pre-measured amounts like this pack of 36 so I know that I will always have enough ink for the number of prints I am making. I use this set up to print pet photos during fundraisers for a local animal rescue. People really like that they get a photo to take with them and I like that I don't have to bring a larger printer and a lot more supplies to be able to do that. The only issue that I have ran into is that occasionally a stray pet hair will get on the paper and create a flaw in a print, but that only happens maybe once per event, so not a bit issue when there are lots of pets around. The image quality is about the same as what you would get from the local one hour print lab. The price isn't too bad when you consider that it includes both the paper and the ink costs. And you don't have to worry about the ink drying out between uses. If you need an easy way to print decent looking 4x6 images, this is the way to go.The 36 pack is overpriced (~25% more) compared to the 108 packs, and I wanted the Credit Card size paper but got postcard backed 4x6" paper. The tiny, blurry pictures of these items on Amazon makes it easy to confuse the different paper sizes. Their photo for the 108IN is even wrong, showing the 108IP. Here's a complete list. Take a look and make sure you don't get your part number one little letter wrong.Canon currently offers seven ink and paper sets for Selphy:KP-108IN (4 x 6" paper, 108 sheets)KP-108IP (4 x 6" paper, 108 sheets, postcard back)KP-36IP (4 x 6" paper, 36 sheets, postcard back) <- You Are HereKC-36IP (Credit card size paper, 36 sheets)KC-18IF (Credit card size/full label, 18 sheets)KC-18IL (Credit card size/mini label, 18 sheets)KW-24IP (4 x 8" paper, 24 sheets)The KC-18IL has eight 1x0.75" labels per sheetThe KC-36IP and KC-108IP have postcard backs.KP is for Postcard (4"x6") paper.KC is for credit card (2"x3") paper, and requires the PCC-CP300 Credit Card Size Paper Cassette.KW is for the Wide (4"x8") paper.I haven't used this printer paper in years because I no longer print my photos (I keep digital versions), but when I was using the Canon photo printer, this paper was very reliable and gave good results. I thought it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it to get my pictures printed immediately in true photo format. However, once it became easier/cheaper to upload photos to a local store and have them printed in an hour, I found myself using this printer and paper less and less. Still, if you prefer to print your own photos, I recommend this paper--it's true Canon quality.I have the newest (at this time) Selphy CP800 in black I bought this paper for my Selphy CP910. It's the same size as the regular paper I use for the printer, but instead of having "Canon" repeated across the back, it has the postcard outline. It is the same quality as the regular Canon Selphy paper, and I wish it was a bit firmer. Otherwise, this is great! The price on Amazon fluctuates between $11-15. I keep a supply of this with my printer, and only select this paper one sheet at a time so I don't accidentally use it for regular pictures! ?This kit gives you the ability to create very high quality prints from your Canon printer. Using a dye-sublimation process, each piece of 6 x 4 paper goes through the printer three times, with a different colour being added each time. There is no drying time after the process is complete. Each print has thin white right and left borders, which you can either leave on for ease of handling, or remove (via the perforations) for optimum display.The only drawback is the high price per print. So this solution is for those who print selectively. If you tend to print a large percentage of your photos, you might be better off taking the memory card to a photo processing shop and getting them printed in a batch. On the other hand, the quality of the prints from this kit is at least as high, and you will the satisfaction of having done them yourself!Hmmm, it is expensive but it's nice to be able to print photos and have something physical. Digital photography means you can take as many as you like without getting more expensive, but having more means less time (or not bothering) to look at each photo. Going through and printing the photos into a physical format means you pick a few good ones and you have something to hold and display, not a file hidden away on your computer.In terms of printing quality, there are little errors and spots of weird colours, but it can look okay - almost adding to the analogue feel.Great for using in a Canon Selphy CP-1300. Very good quality print images, on par with a High St. photo lab. It is a little pricey but not as expensive as the High St.I bought two Selphy printers for one photographic job a year ago. Around sixty 6x4 prints were required quickly at a function at least an hour's drive from the nearest photo lab. Quality of print shocked me - wish they made a bigger version. I rarely print 6x4 so for same engagement this year bought the postcard paper which I can use as a promotional tool or simply for family oddments. Second time round I took the printers out of storage loaded new media and left an assistant to it with five minutes "training". Great results.Disappointed, this package does not contain the paperwhich is plain on the back like my previous purchases of paper and ink.
