  This particular paper is good for its price, it is a double-sided 140g matte paper. It is relatively thin but it does not compromise its performance because it has a coating. If the image becomes blurry over time, it is due to the printer ink and not the paper. It may have a photographic coating for better resolution, less smear, and protection, but it cannot work miracles on its own.

  The weight of the papers is not directly related to their thickness. For example, a glossy paper is thinner than a matte paper of the same weight, and a matte paper is thinner than a regular paper of the same weight. This is because the coating makes it heavier. This particular paper reminds me in thickness of the 120g Navigator papers.

  I bought it for less than 6€ for 100 sheets, and for a thin double-sided photographic paper, it is a good value for money.

  ------- WARNING: It is not meant for printing professional photos, it is simply for better color rendering in images because it is matte. If you want professional images, get the glossy one. It is also very important not to set the quality to high when printing because it simply uses more ink and saturates the paper, while the standard setting produces perfect results with all the details, it just uses less ink and doesn't saturate the paper. This is because the paper, although it is of photographic quality, is thin, so it can get a bit saturated. If you want a sturdier paper, there are matte options with 200 and 250 grams, which are like cardboard and you can comfortably use the high settings for printing.

  I bought it to print educational books for my nieces and nephews because the other options in matte dual are 200 and 250 grams, and they are too thick (I use those for covers). I use a metal spiral binding and they turn into notebooks.

  My printer is the Epson EcoTank L850, an amazing printer with 6 inks designed for photographic quality, so the prints are better compared to regular printers, and it really showcases its capabilities with such papers.

  I have bought 5 from Mediarange and so far I am satisfied (I will do reviews for the rest).

  I am providing you with some indicative images from an educational book that I found online for free, it was in English and I translated it and printed it in small notebooks for ease of use.

  The cover is the Mediarange dual matte 250 and the inner pages are the 140 grams Mediarange (the product of this page).
  The bookbinding machine I used is this one:

  The metal spirals I use can be found in the review I did for the bookbinding machine, with a link for each one.

  While at first it seemed perfect, gradually, within a few months, the colors faded completely, without being exposed to sunlight.

  For photo printing, it is thin for an inkjet printer. The paper "soaks" a little. However, it is a good purchase for its price.
