HP Premium Plus High-gloss 8 1/2 Inch11 Inch Photo Paper 50 Sheets (Q1785A) Reviews

• Works on Canon printers too

  
  By A2V99RXY8L0HL7 on 2005-08-17
  I had about 25 sheets of this paper left over when my HP printer died. No big loss as far as I'm concerned. It only lasted about a year with light usage and was well out of the 90 day warranty period.
  
  Anyway, I wasn't about to throw away a half package of good photo paper. Quite simply, it works great in my Canon Pixma 3000 and the prints are nicer than those I was getting from the HP.
  
  So much for blindly sticking with the printer manufacturers paper.
  
  

• Best photo paper

  
  By A29O9K3PHZH9HK on 2003-10-24
  I've tried many different brands of photo paper, but this is by far the best. I have a HP 7550 Photo printer and with this paper the photos turn out just like store-developed ones. The weight of paper is thicker than any other paper I've tried and the colors come out the truest. It is more expensive than other brands, but I think it is worth the money.
  
  

• Superior to the Ilford paper.

  
  By A24F1UX8ZT5IXY on 2005-12-12
  I had a free pack of this stuff that came with my HP printer a couple of years ago and just got around to trying it out -- because it took me forever to get through the package of "premium quality" Ilford paper I had been using.
  
  This HP paper is superior in every way; from the color, to the image resolution, to the great backing which makes it so easy to handle. It is so much better, in fact, that I now can't wait to print out my pictures. And the price is very reasonable here at Amazon.
  
  No, I don't work for HP! I am just a very satisfied customer. For once!
  
  

• Best out there

  
  By A2GD81JR4J4LJF on 2003-11-16
  I have tried many different kinds of photo paper and I can say with confidence this is by far the best. Many other kinds of photo paper stick together when you put more than two sheets in your printer at a time, which ends up wasting a lot of paper and time. This HP paper has no such problem. Other papers feel very thin and some are even slightly see through; with this paper it is as thick if not thicker than developed photos! I use an HP D145 and with this paper my photos come out of the printer looking like they were just developed. Although it is slightly more expensive than others, this photo paper is well worth it; the results you get are just amazing.
  
  

• Expensive, but you get what you pay for.

  Yeah, this paper is more expensive than the competition, but the results are well worth it (at least if you have an HP printer -- I can't attest for other printers). The quality is amazing and this paper holds up very well. Save this paper for your BEST photographs.
  
  
• Love the print quality, but
  By A23NJM48UDZH8I on 2005-12-05
  I do love the way my HP printer prints on this paper, but my only problem is the sizing. Why don't manufacturers make 8x10 photo paper? Ever try to find a frame for an 8.5x11 picture? I could only find ONE frame that size compared to dozens and dozens of 8x10 frame choices. It makes no sense at all.
  
  But, if 8.5x11 is fine with you, this paper is an excellent choice. I'm just going to have to trim them down to 8x10.
  
  
• works well with inkjet printers

  i tried this on both inkjet and color laser printers. picture quality is nicer on inkjet printer (of course.) otherwise, paper & photo quality is expected.
  
  
• HP Premium Plus Photo Paper - Excellent
  By A1EJA2K6IY1OYR on 2005-10-17
  Although a bit more expensive than desired, HP Premium Plus Photo Paper gives very good results especially when using HP printers (I use HP photosmart7760). The special coating on the back to prevent sticking is also a very good innovation.
  I would recommend this photo paper, especially if the extra cost is not a problem and a good HP printer is used.
  
  
• Great Product
  By A1QK60GILR3HJH on 2005-10-02
  As advertised work well with my printer the quality was there. I just wish it was a little less expensive. Delivery was prompt.
  
  
• HP Premium Plus Photo Paper
  By A3RDKCPR9ATRE2 on 2007-03-08
  I have a HP Photosmart 8750 printer and would never consider any other photo paper except HP and the Premium Plus is the best by far. Getting this paper at an affortable price is my only issue, and I found the solution by shopping at Amazon. Even the less expensive shipping is fast. Recommend highly.
  
  
• Save for larger pictures
  By ABNOVT0MBI09K on 2005-08-01
  If you are printing lots of 5x7 and 4x6 prints it is much cheaper to just put your pictures on a CD and take them to your local Target, Walmart etc. You will get real chemical process prints in a fraction of the time it takes to print on a deskjet at maximum dpi resolution. That said, if you have a higher megapixel camera and really want to print large files in larger sizes, this is a better bet because most of the photo kiosks have an upper limit on file size for printing.
  
  
• Excellent HP Premium Plus Photp Paper, Glossy

  It is a great product to print high quality photos and a good enough product to frame and sell.
  
  
• Quality does not cost -- It pays!
  By A2PWZEW9WTNXS5 on 2006-01-30
  HP Premium Plus photo paper is the only way to go if you desire tremendous photos from your home printer without any scratching, scuffing or blemishes. I have tried less expensive paper from HP as well as other manufacturers. The difference in quality is obvious. If you want friends and family to think you know what you are doing, share photo's on HP Premium Plus glossy paper.

• HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, High Gloss

  I am very happy with the delivery service and good price of this top quality photo paper.
  
  
• Brilliant Photos
  By A3P969K133IDIR on 2007-05-12
  I wrote a review about this paper (4x6 in).
  
  Good heavy paper - feels very good. Photos are beautiful but HP needs to upgrade their ink technology - photos are too sticky for too long and they're not waterproof.
  
  
• Paper is A-OK; Amazon merchant is not recommended
  By A2ZWJVKITA32OV on 2008-04-13
  HP printers generally print pictures best on HP papers with HP ink or toner. So, I have been using HP photo papers for years, and this batch did not disappoint. However, I ordered it through an Amazon merchant that was new to the Amazon supply chain, and they did disappoint. The package was a plain brown envelope, kludged with a plain paper insert and Scotch tape on the side to accept the thicker box of photo paper, and it got damaged in shipping. Several of the sheets of photo paper were visibly damaged in the corner. I wrote to the merchant asking for resolution, but they never replied. I gave them a less than stellar rating elsewhere in the Amazon system.
  
  
• HP Auto Sense ruins this paper
  By A17ST72FLF6LBM on 2008-08-28
  The paper itself is great but HP has a new feature called Auto Sense. This is a small barcode on all 4 corners on the underside of the paper. But when they packaged the paper, the ink on the bar code wasn't dry yet so the barcode ink has dried on the print-side of the next sheet in the pack. After printing you can still clearly see these marks because the printer ink doesn't stick to the already dried bar-code ink. The marks are especially visible if the corner of your photo is one color, like the sky.
  And on Premium Plus photo paper at 0.70 per sheet I'd expect better.
  I'm returning mine.
  
  
• Best Paper
  By A8E0XXXK6IDXR on 2006-07-19
  HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, High Gloss is the only paper I use for my photos. Nothing else compares with the quality. I've been using this brand for some years and I highly recommend.
  Thanks,
  Lisa
  
  
• Great, though I still have one wish
  By ATWZKPNP3ZVW3 on 2007-01-03
  I only wish the satin finish HP Premium Plus Photo Paper was also available in this 50-sheet, 8.5 x 11 quantity! Top notch product and well packaged.
  
  
• HP Premium Plus for Great Photos
  By A2ZSSQFMRETLQ on 2007-08-04
  If you liked Kodak Ultima Hi-Gloss photo paper (which is no longer available ) then this is the paper for you. It prints beautiful photos and comes in 8-1/2x 11 sheets, with a stiff non-stick paper backing that stand up very well in photo albums. It does take time to dry--but well worth it for the professional look of your photos.
