My ColorLife paper never ready feels dry but you have to be real careful with it right out of the printer. Made a one time attemp to do B&W on it and wasn't happy at all, Epson photo paper was much nicer, I'm not real fussy but I like the ColorLife paper for color work, just wish it didn't always feel some what tacky.
