I am an amateur photographer and want to use quality paper to print pictures of grandchildren, pets, etc. This paper gives me the professional look I strive for. It prints well on my Photosmart and have not had to worry about running, blurring or touch sensitive prints. I can give prints directly from the printer to my waiting grandchildren and that makes the difference for me !!
Great replacement for semi-gloss paper. Since the product is sold in Canada, all the package language has to be both in English and French. The French name is semi-glace. French semi means half so I don't know why they had to change the name from half gloss to soft gloss in English.
I have purchased over 400 sheets of this HP Premium Glossy Photo Paper 8.5 x 11.0 inches. The results has been compared to any professional photo I have had made and well below the cost comparison. My HP4500 Officejet should also get some of the credit, because it takes two to tangle. !!! I have stoped purchasing other brands of photo paper. richard 2013
I think any problems other reviewers may have had with Premium Plus Soft-gloss may be with HP's communication, not with the paper itself. When I bought my HP Photosmart 7510 printer almost a year ago, an HP representative told me it was calibrated for the new version of Premium Plus. At the time, I took that claim with a grain of salt.
Only recently did I take the printer out of the box and start using it. I can report that my prints on both the new Premium Plus Soft-gloss and Glossy have been nothing short of stunning. To get the sharpest prints, with the most saturated and accurate colors, I find I have to set the printer's Preferences as follows: Media: "HP Premium Plus Photo Papers" and, under Advanced, Output Quality: "Maximum dpi" and Real Life Technologies (sharpness): "On."
I learned this partly by trial and error, partly by finding and downloading the User Guide from the HP web site, and partly from links in the User Guide to HP Support. I only wish this information had been included in the printed brochure that came with the printer.
I wanted the 4x6 with the tab. What I got didn't have the tab. The discription on your web site should have stated with or without the tab. There is no way to tell by the picture shown.
