I like the product. Have been using for several years now. HOWEVER my major complaint is that you don’t sell this product in a more convenient economical size such as a 100 pack (I also sometimes accidentally order the 25 pack in error).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Soft gloss is the best surface - good saturation and contrast without glare.

Very Poor Product

The changes made to the HP Premium Plus Photo paper are just plain bad. The company took an excellent photograph print paper and reformulated it to a substandard product. Gone is the wonderful heavy weight of the former paper, gone is the wonderful "nubby' backing and gone is the wonderful print surface. All that is left is the price. The product does not perform but the price was not reduced. i returned my full order and I will not purchase this product again. Until the changes, I used this product alnmost daily for three years.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Response from hp.comBy HP Customer Service, January 12, 2012
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the HP Premium Plus Photo Paper.
Situation:
In April 2011, HP started shipping new and improved HP Premium Plus Photo Paper. With this new paper, there are new printing instructions for using new HP Premium Plus Photo Paper on HP printers purchased before October 2011. Customers may notice less bright colors on the new HP Premium Plus Photo Paper when comparing to the old HP Premium Plus Photo Paper if they do not follow the new printing instructions.
Printing Instructions for new HP Premium Plus Photo Paper
For printers purchased prior to October 2011, the recommended print mode for new HP Premium Plus Photo Paper is “HP Advanced Photo”. Customers will see brighter colors when the “Advanced Photo” print mode is used vs. “Premium Plus” print mode when printing on new HP Premium Plus Photo Paper. For instructions on how to change printer preferences to get the best results on HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, along with tips to print bright, colorful photos, visit www.hp.com/go/PremiumPlus
Why did HP change HP Premium Plus Photo Paper?
New and improved HP Premium Plus Photo Paper achieves several major improvements over old Premium Plus Photo Paper:
• Instant dry photo printing
• Smudge-resistant, water-resistant photos
• The paper is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified which indicates that the paper pulp came from a legal, reputable and well managed forest source.
• The paper is recyclable in consumer collection systems that accept mixed paper. (Note: may not be recyclable in all areas)
There are some tradeoffs in going from the old Premium Plus Photo Paper to the new Premium Plus Photo Paper, this includes a slightly lower gloss level. New Premium Plus Photo Paper is “Glossy” while the old Premium Plus Photo Paper was “High Gloss.”
Customers who were previously using old HP Premium Plus Photo Paper and want a photo paper most similar to that type of photo paper, HP recommends HP Premium Photo Paper which has a similar gloss level and color gamut as old the HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, but is slightly thinner.

New and worse than before
on January 24, 2013
Posted by: diskwall
The new paper is definitely inferior to the old ... it doesn't have the crisp image quality, the heft of the old paper, or the same color gamut. The color of pictures printed on the old paper has to be redefined - it's expensive and wastes time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

gets stuck in printer
on November 24, 2012
Posted by: Lennie
I purchased the 4x6 in the soft gloss and have no problems. The 5x7 in the glossy finish gets stuck in my printer and I have wasted lots of paper. I wish you would make the 5x7 in the soft gloss!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not what I wanted
on March 31, 2013
Posted by: Goofus
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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
