Customer Reviews

Good Paper- But not made for your HP printer
This HP paper is good. The 5 megapixel photos that I print from my HP Photosmart 7960 come out very well on this paper except for one thing. The little metal rollers that are inside most HP printers leave little dots that are visible on your photos (more visible with darker pictures). After calling HP about this, they said you need to get Premium PLUS photo paper and that the premium plus paper will correct the problem. If you don't mind having little white dots on your photos, then this paper is amazing. If you do mind then go with the Premium Plus.

Great prints of snap pictures
I purchased this paper to print snaps of family and friends. The paper has worked great, though did require me to configure the paper type of the software I am using(Photoshop), though this is not something unique to this paper.

Though most folks who print photos regularly know this well, it took me a few tries to learn how to correctly adjust the ink and paper settings. In Windows this setting is typically in the 'Advanced' printing options. Here just choose the paper type 'HP Premium Glossy'. Oh, and don't forget to choose at least 1200dpi for your prints which will be an available option after choosing 'best' print quality. On my Mac these settings were untuitively found under the 'Paper' tab in the print options.

Now that I know how to print I need to learn how to take better photos...

White dots on HP Premium Paper, Glossy
I also encountered the white dot problem with HP Premium glossy photo paper on my HP PSC 2355 printer. I even changed my printers at Best Buy, thinking that I have a defective printer, but still the same result. The pictures look good, but the white dots are quite annoying. They are virtualy imperceptible on lighter colors, but are glaring on dark colors, especially black. I would not recommend using this paper if you have an HP printer similar to mine (2355, 2175, 1315, 1350, etc.). Premium PLUS paper indeed corrects this problem, but it is almost twice as expensive. (If one looks very intently the white dots are still present even on Premium plus paper, they are just not conspicuous.) Because of this, I am now thinking of returning my HP printer, even thought the overall picture quality, as well as the product reliability, is quite high.
