Advantages: Cheap, good enough quality
Disadvantages: None

...--Introduction-- This is now my second review on HP printer paper, I know it isn't the most glamorous of things to be writing about. However, I do feel that it is important to choose the correct paper for your computer print outs. The previous review of mine about HP paper, was concerntrating on the Hewlett Packerd Premium Choice paper. That is at the most expensive end of the paper market and is really for use when printing very formal and important documents. The HP office paper on the other hand, is at the extreme opposite end of the spectrum. It is for rough or draft copies which are likely to be for short term use or just to be thrown away. I will compare the attributes of this 'economy' paper with that of the more upmarket paper that I have reviewed before. That way a clear comparison can be drawn between them. --Reason... Read review

Advantages: Print quality, reliability, good value for money
Disadvantages: None really...

...Hewlett Packard produce this soft gloss laser paper to work specifically with their colour laserjet series of printers. At my workplace we use an HP 4500 colour laserjet and when we need to print off high quality photos or reports, this paper comes in very handy, due to the high quality of print that can be produced. This paper is priced at around £15 per box, although it may be cheaper depending on which supplier you use. Specs The paper has a satin gloss finish to it. It is coated with this finish on both sides, which is very handy for producing documents with doubled sided print. According to HP, the paper is finished with higher brightness, which should mean that greys and blacks are produced very clearly on the paper. The weight of the paper is 100 g/m2, which means that it is reasonably thick, but still able... Read review

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...

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...

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... Read review

Advantages: Not Many!!
Disadvantages: Cost, Quality of prints, Not very glossy

...This ' photo quality paper from Kodak is a huge disappointment so there is not much to write about!! First things first on the packet it says 'glossy'. I would hardly call it that. I would say it has a slight shine!! The quality of the photo prints you receive from this paper is very poor indeed. I have a great little 4 mega pixel camera which takes very high standard photos. But if I print those photos on this paper well.....they just don't look like photos!!! The cost of this paper is pretty expensive. The cheapest place I have seen it is at Office 365 and it cost £7.94 there. You could buy a lot better photo paper for that money. The only good thing I have to say about this paper is that you can print on both sides of it. Most photo paper you can only print on one side. All in all this paper has been a huge... Read review

Advantages: Gives stunning results every time
Disadvantages: Too small for a 6x4 inch frame

...I am a big fan of this paper. At 255 gsm it has a really nice, solid feel about it and a nice level of smoothness and shine. Colour reproduction is excellent with vibrant yet natural looking tones consistently achievable with not much call for tedious adjustment in your photo software - unlike some papers I've tried! I generally knock back the magenta a touch for all my prints and get a well balanced result. As with any paper, the highest quality images are achieved using the same manufacturer for your paper as your printer, as they tailor the paper to suit their inks. I have an Epson 890, which is a few years old, but still turns out cracking results. However, I have friends who have other makes of printer (Lexmark and Canon) and they both get excellent results using the Epson paper. The paper is suitable for high density... Read review

Advantages: Top quality print
Disadvantages: quite expensive

...Getting a PC and printer is the start of a great new experience for most enthusiasts. You can print all your own letters and flyers etc. You can make your own Birthday cards and generally have a lot of fun with your new high tech equipment. It can be hard enough trying to find your way through the techno jumble of a PC without having to bother which paper is best suited to your printer or your needs. There are so many brands of paper with different qualities that it can get to the point where you give up. Generally speaking a good quality paper with a GSM of about 90 will give satisfactory result for most of your home projects. The GSM value assigned to paper is rated on firstly the grade of paper, then the surface of the paper and finally the weight of the paper. Generally speaking the higher the GSM value the better the paper... Read review

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: easy to mess up,

...make transfers as large as an A4 sheet or as small as a coin. So, exactly what are Iron T Shirt Transfers? Without stating the obvious, they are sheets of paper which you can print onto , using an Inkjet printer. Most households have these nowadays. When you have printed your design, you simply iron it onto a T Shirt. Enough of the questions already! Let me explain!! The sheets come in a stylish carboard envelope type packaging. The 'Epson Premium Quality' Logo is spread across the front oand back of the package. The majority of the packaging is white with a small band of navy blue at the top. It states that there are ten sheets measuring 210mm x 297mm or in other word, A4. The only requirements for these sheets are: White or light coloured T Shirt or fabric whic are 100% cotton or at least 50% cotton mix. Obviously... Read review

Advantages: Great prints, looks very impressive
Disadvantages: Price?

...--Introduction-- I haven't written a review about printer paper before, or any other printer consumable for that matter. However, I felt compelled to write this review and sing the praises of a great product. I think personally, that the quality of an individual print out relies on three different things. The brand and type of the printer used are very important, along with the paper that you use to print on. They are all essential to achieving the best results and in this review I will concentrate on what part HP Premium Choice printer paper affects the cycle. I first came across this HP printer paper when I was working in my brother’s office. It was a summer job just to earn a bit of extra cash. As I was relatively inexperienced, I was left with the very simple tasks, such as getting jobs sent out, running errands and also... Read review
