Though most folks who print photos regularly know this well, it took me a few tries to learn how to correctly adjust the ink and paper settings. In Windows this setting is typically in the 'Advanced' printing options. Here just choose the paper type 'HP Premium Glossy'. Oh, and don't forget to choose at least 1200dpi for your prints which will be an available option after choosing 'best' print quality. On my Mac these settings were untuitively found under the 'Paper' tab in the print options.I also encountered the white dot problem with HP Premium glossy photo paper on my HP PSC 2355 printer. I even changed my printers at Best Buy, thinking that I have a defective printer, but still the same result. The pictures look good, but the white dots are quite annoying. They are virtualy imperceptible on lighter colors, but are glaring on dark colors, especially black. I would not recommend using this paper if you have an HP printer similar to mine (2355, 2175, 1315, 1350, etc.). Premium PLUS paper indeed corrects this problem, but it is almost twice as expensive. (If one looks very intently the white dots are still present even on Premium plus paper, they are just not conspicuous.) Because of this, I am now thinking of returning my HP printer, even thought the overall picture quality, as well as the product reliability, is quite high. Amazon recently had this item on sale for $6.99 ... which is a good price for 100 sheets compared to other brands I use (Canon, Epson, Kodak). The paper printed fine on my Epson R1800 printer. I'd hoped to buy more, but I see the price is now higher. The paper isn't quite as heavy as the Canon or Epson or Kodak papers, but they run about double the $6.99 price. I had no trouble with smearing or ink not acting properly. I use the HP paper for 'routine' or snapshot type prints or proofs of my RAW processing before printing in larger sizes. This is the one! It's not easy finding your favorite photo paper when the product has been changed. My older version of this "HP Premium Photo Paper, Glossy 4x6", with tab" was a 10ml in weight; this is a 9ml and I worried about that. I can't tell the difference in the weight of the paper at all. And side by side photos of the same subject tells the tale . . no difference in quality of the print at all. Just Beautiful!! The folks having problems with the tab are NOT allowing the paper to dry. I wait exactly 5 min for the photo to be completely dry, bend the tab backward, then bend the tab forward and when I pull, it practically pops off in my hand. Perfect separation and a perfect print every single time. Love it when it works and when it's simple!!I bought a large quntity of this paper not realizing there had been a huge change in "premium plus". The quality of the prints are not usable for my work now. I called HP and asked if there was any of the old paper I could buy and was told they would ship some to me. They shipped about 15 sheets of the "advanced" type, not Premium Plus. Very dissatisfied and must find other paper to use now. No one seemed to care at HP. Having had great luck with HP photo paper in the past I recently bought a large quantity of their HP Premium Photo Paper. Unfortunately the quality is not the same and in my opinion it is pure junk. No matter what settings I adjust (in the past I never had to touch any settings) this paper won't dry and the colors all run together. I even have a professional photo printer and my photos look horrible on this paper. I even called HP Customer Service and the rep told me this is the quality of paper that is being produced by HP now. I said "so you are basically telling me the product is crap?" The rep responded with "yes ma'am". Nice!! Tengo una impresora K550 de HP. Al imprimir mis fotografías quedan espectaculares. He tenido otras marcas de papel fotográfico para impresoras de burbuja, pero este es el mejor. I bought the 4" x 6" photo paper and found it had a perforated tab.
What's this dumb tab for? I can't get it to come off clean.
Before the HP paper I used Canon and Canon is far better!
I'll never buy HP againQuality of prints is not very good. Skin looks much better on Canon paper. The back of the paper is like sand paper. The prints don't slide and I am worried that the back of one is scratching the one below it. Like a really cheap deck of cards. The tab does not tear off very easily and leaves an ugly edge even when it does. Never buying this paper again. I own a high end Canon Pixma Pro 9000 photo printer. I bought a bunch of HP Premium photo paper because it was 2 for 1. Big mistake. The prints had a mottled pattern which was quite ugly. I thought my printer must have clogged jets because the print quality was so low. I cleaned my print heads and tested the alignment, but I kept getting same lousy quality. So I got on the phone with Canon tech support which immediately suspected the HP paper (apparently HP papers are a known problem). They had me print the same photo on Kodak paper I also happened to have on hand and it was beautiful. The Canon tech support person told me that HP, unlike most of the other manufacturers use a different process with the result the paper surface will swell as the ink is applied to it causing image problems. I think the problem occurs with ink formulations which have water in them, but not 100% sure.I have used many photo papers over time, and only a few of them have the weird perforated tab you have to remove after you print. It didn't bother me because I needed printer paper, and EVERY OTHER brand I have ever used tore off cleanly. Not this paper. 8 out of 10 pictures I print tear on one side. Easy to cut off, but very irritating, and it does affect the look of the picture as it looks like cheap paper. The tab is useless, and causes more harm than good. I can't wait to be out of this paper so I can buy the superior Kodak that I prefer to use.I have an older HP Photosmart 7550, a high end model in its day, that when printing 4x6 photos is only supposed to take paper with tabs. This tabless paper was sent to me by mistake, but I tried it anyway and the pictures come out fine. No dots, everything centered. Really good quality for the price. I have an HP Photosmart C7280 printer that will not work with this photo paper. There is a code on the back of the paper that is used for the "Auto Sense" feature. This is designed so the printer can recognize which direction the paper is loaded (in case you loaded some sheets the wrong way). Unfortunately, it is more of a problem than a help. No matter how the settings are changed on the printer, it will always print on the perforated tab and leave a blank bar at the end of the picture. I spend about an hour with tech support and they could not get the issue resolved. I strongly recommend against this product. Purchase photo paper that does not have the tab on it. I just bought 2 packs(200 sheets total). I compared the same EPSON and Canon photo paper pro print with HP one, they are way better than HP Premium Photo Paper. EPSON ultra premium photo and Canon photo
paper pro, a bit expensive but print quality are way better. And some people pointed put, perforated edge is something that was never mentioned and I would have never purchased if it was mentioned. Other brands of photo paper and even the trial suppy provided with my HP printer were 4 X 6 and printed as expected. I didn't realize that my latest purchase of HP photo paper had a perforated tab until I noticed the stack of borderless photos I had just printed were white on the edge. Not the perforated edge! So, I looked into it and discovered that a tab was intended to ease handling of the wet prints. I then inserted the paper with the edge facing out(tear off tab outside the printed area of the paper). But the tear off tab was not presented after printing - it was positioned deep in the output tray where it was inaccesible. After tearing away the perforated tab, several photos retained jagged edges where the tab did not separate cleanly.
