In my old HPofficejet Pro 6000 Plus, one puts the Glossy side Up in the printer tray and it works fine. In my new HP Officejet Pro 8720 I have to put the Glossy side face down in the paper tray. I have to remove all the printer paper 1st then insert one piece face down, otherwise the glossy side will drag a piece of printer paper along with it and ruin the print. A very stupid design mistake by HP on the 8720. I still give the paper 5 stars as we're not reviewing printers here.
I love to use my photos to make personalized greeting cards for friends and family. Using the soft-gloss paper gives my photos a more artistic look and the cards are much nicer.
I have used this this photo paper ever since I have been doing my own printing. I like the way the photos turn out and how quickly the ink dries on the paper.
