Kirkland Photo Paper

I was just at Costco and saw that they have some Glossy Photo Paper under the Kirkland brand. I was just wondering if anyone has tried it yet and what you think.

Haven't seen that yet.

In general, I find Costco's Kirkland products to be equal to their name-brand counterparts - oftentimes, the Kirkland brand is the exact same product, simply repackaged and sized in bulk for Costco. So it may very well be the same Kodak paper they already carry, just repackaged/renamed. For example, their canned cat food was the Iams brand canned food repackaged. (Can't find it at our store anymore, though)

I have had my pictures done at Costco for years both "old fashioned" and digital. I have been very happy with all of them. Of course, when given the choice I choose the cheaper Kirkland brand and was never disappointed in it. I can't remember what they use for their one hour digit prints.

Oh, it just occured to me you meant printer paper. In that case, I haven't used it but I do know what Trinity said about the Kirkland brand is true.

Epson/Kirkland

I just found by searching online that Epson manufacturers the Kirkland paper which makes me a happy camper because I always bought my Epson paper at Costco and was so bummed when they stopped selling it, but now I know it was just private labeled...

My in-laws use Kirkland paper, and it prints beautifully. I'd forgotten to ask where they got it, so glad I found this thread. Now to convince DH that we really do need a Costco membership as well as a Sam's membership.

Offtopic, but feel good about shopping at Costco :)

Let the Sam's one run out - I don't have a membership at either and haven't been to Costco in years, but Costco treats its employees very well compared to most companies in discount retail. If companies see that customers value stores that pay living wages, maybe others will follow suit - and who knows which people you love will work in retail someday and need that health insurance.
