Quality photo printing.
By Noname
When it comes to photo printing, paper is everything. To bring out the best photo capabilities in a printer, the right paper is needed.
HP Premium Plus is a very thick and heavyweight photo paper. The photos come out beautifully without smudging and smearing. There is a coating on the backside of the paper that HP touts would prevent photos from sticking, which is always a concern of mine. So far, we’ve stacked some photos and haven’t any problems with sticking. The photos do feel a little tacky, which they always seem to feel regardless of photo paper used. I do think it’s less sticky than I’ve sometimes experienced with other photo papers.
The tab feature makes it easy to have a place to hold and label photos. It doesn’t tear cleanly enough for my tastes, but perforated tabs never do. I just cut with my paper cutter.
This is a nice quality paper. I will buy it again in the future.

UPDATE: I brought out the photos to show my mother-in-law how nicely the photos print out of a printer with the right kind of paper. My one caveat to her was that I could never find photo paper that isn’t tacky when printed on. Sometimes, the photos even stick together when placed in a pile. I just never touch the surface where the picture is because I don’t like the sensation. Well, was I surprised that the photos were not sticky at all. They felt like regular photos printed at the store. Whoa! That is a first. I just needed to let them dry completely. I thought they were dry before, but apparently not. Other photo papers really stay tacky forever, as I have tried touching them days later. This is the best. I’ll be buying it from now on.
Oh, and my mother-in-law showed me photos she printed out on her photo paper and there is a huge difference. The photos on HP photo paper look like real photos from the store, no pixelation at all.

UPDATE: I thought what I had was good, but I am getting even more stunning results from my Epson WorkForce 630 Color Inkjet All-in-One (C11CB07201) (my previous one was a Brother MFC-420CN Color Inkjet Network Multifunction). The details pop. I absolutely cannot tell this photo from the ones Snapfish sends me. Actually, I think these are better! Ink dries so quickly, it’s touchable straight from the printer. If you are not getting good results, try a different printer. After seeing what an excellent printer can do with this paper, I am raising my review to five stars.

By Oldies Lover
This is one of the best quality photo paper I purchase because of the image quality and fade resistance. For the best adhesion of the printed color, it is best to let it dry at least a couple of hours before placing in your photo album.

HP Photo Paper
By Richard W. Watters
Good product at a reasonable price. The paper is dated 2003 but should work OK. I did notice that it did not have the arrows on the back like newer ones do to help in loading the paper correctly into the paper tray. This is important as the paper does have tabs on one end. Just remember that the tabless end feeds first. The first couple of prints I got it backwards.
