Customer Reviews:
"I really enjoy using HP's premium photo paper. In my opinion, it's one of the best photo papers around. I love the new and improved gloosy finish. I've received excellent results with this paper. When I set my Canon i320 printer on "photo paper plus glossy", my photos look a though they were talken by a studio photographer. My family and friends love their pictures and keep asking for more. I'm currently working on a new family photo album and it's been having a ball because my pictures turned out so pretty on this paper. I highly recommend it. " – L. Curtis "Millicent Y. Curtis"

Customer Reviews:
"This is a reasonably priced product that produces very good photos. I am happy with it, and it's a lot less expensive than buying smaller packs. I found that Canon photo papers work best with Canon printers, so I don't buy other brands anymore. " – Dotti
Customer Reviews:
"Better than any other paper I have tried. Compared it to "professionally" printed Kodak prints and it blew them away. Pricey, but how many are you going to frame - that's what these are for. " – Jeffrey Osborn

"Canon photo paper Plus II gives me amazing results on my Canon printer.
I've tried Costco photo paper (returned it) and HP photo glossy (It's OK, but doesn't seem to give the same depth.)
Canon papers have always treated me well and I'm sticking with them! " – Aaron D. Christianson "acinthecity"

"I've been a user of Epson glossy photo papers for over a decade.I've never had a problem with them.Colors are brilliant and don't fade.Granted, some of that is ink performance, but the paper clearly lets the ink succeed!If you have an Epson printer and are using Epson ink, look no further! " – J. York

Customer Reviews:
"After buying my first HP photo printer, I ordered this paper. First - it's very inexpensive, compared to buying it at Staples or Office Depot - about half the price. Second - the print quality is really fantastic. It's not quite as glossy as the HP premier plus paper (which I recommend if the prints are for something you want framed)- but it's just as good as anything you'd get at a lab. Actually - it's better considering you can edit the photo any way you like, if the hard copy isn't exactly what you wanted. I highly recommend this product. FYI- If you buy it directly from HP - it's the same price and no shipping costs either. " – E. Lacy "Liz"
Customer Reviews:
"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. " – Colin Armstrong
It has been a favorite throughout photographic history, the shine to it is attractive and adds a certain amount of pop to the picture. It is used to print pictures on. The paper has a shine to it that leaves the picture shiny as opposed to the flat matte finish. It comes in a variety of sizes.
All glossy photo paper is shiny; the weight is the differentiating factor. The heavier the weight of the paper the more expensive it will be. The heavier the weight of the paper the longer the photo will last. Also the size as in the length and the width will also vary and will play a considerable roll in the cost of the glossy photo paper.

"The photo paper appears to be the same quality in every way as the kind my photos have been printed up on at the drug store.
If that's what you're looking for, buy with confidence. " – Artemis
Customer Reviews:
"This is the thickest of the hp paper, and honestly the best I've ever seen used for photos. I would highly recommend it for use in picture frames. I would not recommend using it for regular photo albums, because of cost. PLus the fact that regular photos are better glossy. I used this paper with my HP photosmart 8750, and got the museum photo quality it suggest. Hope I helped your decision. " – Scott R. Beaulieu
Customer Reviews:
"I have personally printed 4 photos using this paper (13x19) with a Canon 9500. The quality is fantastic. It is hard to believe how well this paper handles the color ink. I read some of the reviews on other sites about this paper. It was said the colors will last a 100 years. Well, that is good enough for me, knowing that I will hang around that long to find out.
I take a lot of photos at air shows and from one of the shows; I chose one of my favorite photos and printed using this paper. The results were more that I had expected. I was so impressed; I went on line and bought 3 more packets. Good paper for the price.
My girlfriend liked the paper too... especially the picture I printed of her. Good enough for her, good enough for me.

Customer Reviews:
"I use this paper on my Epson 2200.I've used the 8.5.11 and 13.19 sheets, but this roll is perfect for panorama prints.This is what I use the roll for. It's difficult to get the roll paper loaded in the printer, but once loaded, it's a great paper.Just be careful about bending it and fingerprints.The paper crimps very easily, so keep it flat until framed.
Produces great results!

"Produces excellent glossy photos on my Epson R1800. " – TruePhil
Customer Reviews:
"This photo paper is Great.Using my Canon MP620 printer, I was able to print out amazing pictures that I created using my SLR Camera.It captured the colors perfectly and it has a nice glossy look.In fact, the printed photos looked so much better than what I saw on my LCD.This is half the price of the Pro Platinum, and I must say there's no difference in quality. By far Amazon have the best price anywhere and for less than ten dollar per 100 copies, it beats any other photo paper brand out there in term of price and quality.I highly recommend this to anyone who likes to print high quality pictures while saving their money.

"I needed some extra sheets of 4x6 photo paper to run the ink cartridge in my Picturemate down to empty.So I thought I would try this premium paper.The Epson website is very vague about what paper will work in the Picturemate.Well my experiment shows that the S041727 paper works better than the T5570 paper that comes with the refill kit.The S041727 paper is thicker and whiter than standard picturemate paper. " – Sinisa Spasenoski
Customer Reviews:
"I really love the semi-gloss look for 8X10 portrait work.Less of a glare than the glossy paper, and not as dry looking as the matte paper.It is a bit expensive in comparison to the glossy paper, but I use it for portrait work, rather than everyday family pics.Highly recommend it for its great quality and look. " – K. Barros "Hamtaro"

"The paper is heavy professional quality and it makes great digital photos. I have bought thousand of sheet of photo paper but none better at any price.
It works well on all 5 of my printers. I may buy all of it. " – john of art "john of art"
The cost is generally around ten cents a sheet. It is a lot cheaper to buy and print out pictures at home than it is to send out pictures so that they will be printed.
It is a little more expensive than matte finished photo paper. It also comes in larger quantities, which are a great option for larger projects and to keep some on hand. It typically comes in several quantity options. Some of the quantities options only contain ten sheets, which is a good deal if there are only one or two pictures you want to print out.
Glossy photo paper is a great option for printing pictures at home; there are some specifications for some printers that have to be adhered to when choosing it. Some printers cannot use any other brand without causing damage to the printer.
Every photo printer needs the right type of glossy printer paper to function properly. Visit my website to learn more about finding high quality printer paper for your needs.
