Customer Reviews

quality not meeting my expectation
I just bought 2 packs(200 sheets total). I compared the same EPSON and Canon photo paper pro print with HP one, they are way better than HP Premium Photo Paper. EPSON ultra premium photo and Canon photo
paper pro, a bit expensive but print quality are way better. And some people pointed put, perforated edge is something that was never mentioned and I would have never purchased if it was mentioned.

Why The Tear-off Tab?
Other brands of photo paper and even the trial suppy provided with my HP printer were 4 X 6 and printed as expected. I didn't realize that my latest purchase of HP photo paper had a perforated tab until I noticed the stack of borderless photos I had just printed were white on the edge. Not the perforated edge! So, I looked into it and discovered that a tab was intended to ease handling of the wet prints. I then inserted the paper with the edge facing out(tear off tab outside the printed area of the paper). But the tear off tab was not presented after printing - it was positioned deep in the output tray where it was inaccesible. After tearing away the perforated tab, several photos retained jagged edges where the tab did not separate cleanly.

"pixel cracks" on shadowed area of printed photo
I purchased this paper to print on both my HP photosmart 7350 (very old model) and Canon PIXMA pro9000 printers (professional injet printer). The outcome of the prints are quite the same with everything set to the best printing quality, that you can find areas of what I will call "pixel cracks" show up especially where you have low light(but not completely black)area in your picture. However, areas in the picture that have bright light do not have this problem.

Thinking that this may be because my picture does not have high enough resolution, I went to frys and got a pack of Canon photo plus, glossy photo paper and tested on both printers again. The different is quite clear, the Canon PIXMA pro9000 gives me a photo I can not distinguish from those done in professional photo print store with the canon photo paper plus. Even the HP photosmart 7350 give me reasonally good photo with much less "pixel cracks" on the photo with the canon photo paper.

The funny thing is, I also purchased the HP Q7854A Advanced Glossy Paper/100-Sheet 8.5" x 11" and this paper seems to be much better.

To my opinion, I will pick the Canon photo papers instead of this one.
