HP photo paper is photastic!

Advantages: Good quality paper produces a shop quality print
Disadvantages: Tear off side can be a bit ragged

...This product is premium quality photo paper with each sheet weighing 240 g/m² (which is quite heavy). It is pre-cut on three sides like normal paper but with a perforated tear-off tab down the fourth side so you can handle the print without touching the photo itself. It aims to give you a finished product that looks like a traditional glossy photograph and claims to be optimised print quality and reliability with HP inkjet printers. "What the manufacturer says about this product: (taken from their web site)": The HP Premium Photo Paper is designed especially for home users who want the look and feel of traditional photographs when producing reprints, enlargements or photos for sharing as well as business users for whom high quality, high impact outputs are vital.

Review of HP Premium Glossy Photo Paper

Hp's Premium Photo Paper.

Advantages: Excellent high-quality photo paper, produces high quality prints.
Disadvantages: None whatsoever.

...Last week, I was asked to journey to my local Office World to buy paper for some holiday snaps. After some shelve browsing I came across the Hewlett Packard Premium photo paper. I bought it purely due to the fact the packaging seemed to reach out, and in one swift promotional swing, forced me to purchase the product. Well okay I'm exaggurating, the main thing which attracted me to the product was the price tag. Office World have always been pretty good on prices, and the 6.79 I paid for a 10 sheet A4 pack of this left me feeling most impressed, infact I picked up two packs worth to cover all the pictures! The paper's appearance is of particular high quality. Its extremely glossy, and resembles the sort of paper you find on the covers of magazines, yet much thicker. Of course, I was highly skeptical of the results when used in...

Great glossy photo paper by Epson

Advantages: excellent quality. durable and easy to use
Disadvantages: high price, low number of sheets (20) per pack

...Having Just an Epson printer to print photographs from my pc, I decided to use the manufacturers approved paper. Epson Durabrite Photo Paper is excellent for printing glossy high quality photos. And with DuraBrite pigment ink for a better bright and detailed print together with its 200gsm weight means it's ideal for photos. I bought the 20-sheet pack on line for £7.34 online and at this price its only going to be used for special photos, I also paid £1.50 for postage and packaging. This price equates to 34- 40 pence a photo so any mistakes printing are costly, but the quality is good and I haven’t had any problems as yet. So if you need to print quality pictures and you have an Epsom printer (would work in any printer as it I standard A4) I would highly recommend this paper with its glossy coating and durable...

IS PAPER JUST PAPER ?

Advantages: PROFESSIONAL FINISH
Disadvantages: PRICEY

...THIS REVIEW IS BEING MOVED BY CIAO. When I decided to write this review, I had to ask myself whether paper merited 120 words or half an hour of my time, and whether I could actually say anything that had not been said that was worth saying about it. WELL I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU Since buying my HP photosmart printer, there is a slot for A3 paper as well as the standard A4. I had been accustomed to printing photographs and cutting them down to size, and I decided that as this feature was part of my new machine, I should use it, instead of ending up with photographs that looked amateur and not too square. BUYING THE PAPER The paper was on special offer, and I took advantage of this, and yes it works out pretty expensive in the order of things, and certainly more expensive than cardboard which prints nice matt photos, so when...

Review of Kodak - photo paper - 25 sheet(s)

Paper at it's best.

Advantages: great quality, easy to find, great with other epson products
Disadvantages: Can get quite expensive

...So reviewing paper isn't exactly that interesting and there may not be much to say about paper. Or is there? When you buy a pack of Epson Glossy Photo Paper your getting some top quality paper, which is very important if your going to be printing out those special pictures that you will want to keep forever. With this improved lightfast photo paper you can create high gloss colour pictures which look and feel like a photograph. It also features a resin coating that provides a feel and texture almost identical to that of professional photographers. It also has rapid drying which is great because fingerprints don't get all over it and smudge it as soon as its out of the printer and improved water fastness, providing minimal leakage even when the image is wet. One pack of this paper contains 20 sheets, which is all you need to...

I'm in love with... Premium Glossy Photo Paper??

Advantages: The quality is excellent - looks just like "proper" photos
Disadvantages: You may have to fiddle with photos before printing to get it to fit!

...As I'm pretty new here I'm taking on all the comments people have given me as they come. Thought this review could do with an edit - hope it's better now! I bought this photo paper along with my new Epson Stylus Photo R300 Printer. Being slightly new to the exciting world of "print your own" photos, I thought maybe the paper made by the same company as the printer (which, incidentally, is excellent also) would be a safe bet for the first time. I am happy to say that next time I'll be buying it again. A couple of weeks ago I bought a new digital camera that takes photos of a sufficient quality to print A4 size. Of course, the traditional charming 'family and friends' photos that you take when first trying out a camera have to be printed and shown off (!) so I finally got round to setting up the printer and getting out the paper...

High Street Photo Developers Worst Nightmare

Advantages: Glossy photo paper. Size 6x4 Excellent colour repoduction.
Disadvantages: Cannot leave printer when printing muliple photos.

...Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper Paper Weight 255 g/m2 Paper Size 10x15cm (6x4in) Pack Size 20 or 50 sheets Fact Sheet Written in multiple languages Made In Japan Resolution Up to 1440 dpi Product Code S041729 No more high street developers for me, at last i have found a photo paper that is compariable with the professionals. You cannot rely just on the paper for good photo prints you also need a high megapixel camera and photo printer. Camera Richo Caplio R1 Printer Canon Pixma IP5000 These have both been reviewed by me. The photo paper is non-perferated so if your printer does not do edge to edge printing you would be better off going for the perferated type. The paper is bright white and very glossy...

Review of Epson Premium - glossy photo paper - 20 sheet(s)

Digi camera, photo printer and...

Advantages: Good feeling of real photograph.
Disadvantages: Running out fast.

...Finally you have your new digital camera you've always dreamt of, and then you bought the new, fantastic photo quality printer by Epson, or Canon, or Hewlett-Packard, etc? Well, it doesn't really mater what is the maker, is it big name or not that well known name. What maters, and makes you proud off, is the fact that it is Photo Quality and you are able to print your own photographs, of course the best ones, which you friends would be jealous of. You don't need to pop out to the local lab any more; you have the lab at home, small, nice lab; professional darkroom. Quality of the prints is excellent, well, you hope so? Have a close look and? small disappointment, you can see it is a print, not a photograph! What's the matter? Now, what paper have you bought? Sure photo quality, what is the maker? You don't know!? Is it suitable...

Daphne and her Paper Factory

Advantages: Educational visit
Disadvantages: It's not exactly Disney Land

...very charming and authentic but ultimately not very useful. If you've ever tried to write on handmade papers, then you'll know what I mean. It's not an easy experience and they are probably wise to use most of the paper for those lampshades. We emerged without spending anything but we were somewhat wiser. The man in the shop knew the translation of daphne and showed us photos of the tree from which the paper is made. Daphne, it turned out, it the botanical name for Mulberry, something that we don't have in England so we felt less guilty for not knowing about it. Clearly it's got more uses than just feeding silk-worms. As a totally irrelevant aside, I learned when trying to sell raspberry flavours to a major Chinese confectionery firm, that China doesn't have raspberries and mulberries are as close as they get - there you go, my...

Review of Jungshi Handmade Paper Factory, Thimphu

Just like the photos from the chemist!

Advantages: Gives a similar look and feel to traditional photos
Disadvantages: Quite expensive for 20 sheets of paper

...Hewlett Packard produces this premium glossy paper to work specifically with their range of Inkjet printers. We use HP 940c and HP5550 deskjet printers at my office, and so this paper is very handy for use with these printers, especially when our HP 4500 colour Laserjet printer is tied up with a big print job from someone! This paper can be purchased for around the £14.99 mark, although if you shop around you may find a cheaper price than this. Specs The paper has a satin-matt photo glossy finish to it. According to HP, the premium status of this paper indicates that it should give very high print quality and allow your deskjet printer to run at its highest resolution.. The weight of the paper is 240 g/m2, which means that it is about the same thickness as a traditional printed photograph. HP claim that this...
