However, this time the paper arrived in a plastic bag with no box. A sticker on the bag says it's manufactured in Switzerland. It is HP paper per the logo on the back of each sheet. But I'm leery of using it in case it should mess up my printer. I guess the $4.00 price should have tipped me off something was different.
After receiving the paper I checked the vendor's marketplace listing and it does read that the paper is: "BRAND NEW! Original Factory sealed plastic bag." So who's at fault? I would say Amazon.com for listing "Creative Merchandise" as the seller on the main sales page which shows and states that the paper is packaged in an HP box. I don't feel I should have to search out the vendor on the marketplace page to verify that his description matches Amazon's sales page.Purchased a bulk lot of this paper as it was super cheap... Now I understand why (buyer beware). The first several prints came out fine. Then started to notice that the black portions were coming out with lighter colors. After about 50 prints (was at a show), I took a break and decided to clean the heads, etc. This process clogged the heads. I changed out all the ink jet cartridges (with new ones) and could not get the heads to clean or nosels to function correctly. Seemed the more I tried to clean and correct the problem, the worse it became until it would barely print anything at all (even on regular printer paper). I did notice that each print took longer than usual to print and was "wet" when it came out. Took several minutes to dry properly (but still not right). The finish had an overly glossy wet paint look to it. Even though these were give away prints, most people were not thrilled with their pictures. As it is probably cheaper to purchase a new printer than have this repaired, am scared to try these again, but have over Not sure if I happened to receive a defective batch, but the printing on this paper was subpar. The ink did not dry quickly and the sheets stuck together even after a drying time of five minutes. Returned product. I have an HP PhotoSmart printer and this paper is perfect. I bought two picture frames as birthday gifts and wanted good quality paper to print the pictures on. This fits the bill. For the amount you get and the quality, you really can't beat the price. I recommend it for those with HP printers. For those without HP printers, you could still try it but it usually works better when you buy the brand that goes with your printer. Please note that there are HP watermarks on the back of the paper in case that may be an issue. This is by far the best paper I've had when using my photosmart all in one printer. Simply awesome if your looking for glossy photos. Not that good for picture frames that will have a ton of light since it's so glossy but in lower light it's great. It is soooo nice to be able to print quality photos in my living room. The paper is very reasonably priced and the final product is actually better than the corner drugstore. I will continue to buy this paper and suggest you all do the same. This photo paper is the best in its category, ideal weight, great color results and it never jams, not once! I am printing on a daily basis, so I can attest to that more than your average, low-volume user.
The finish is superb, not too glossy, either. Portrait images "come out" near perfect! I strongly recommend this particular photo paper. Apparently, HP has stopped making the High Gloss version of the 4x6" Premium Plus photo paper. I bought this once by mistake and found the colors to be really awful, as if I had used really cheap paper. Buy their "Premium" paper instead. It's almost as good as the "Premium Plus" used to be. This is good quality paper, and i love not having to tear off one side with a tab. This paper might be more expensive, but it looks more professional in individual 4x6 size photos. Photos look great. This paper is really nice. I have used a LOT of other Photo paper in the past, and this has to make for the best photos I've printed at home...ever...by a long shot. Clear, glossy pics. Works wonderful with the HP Photosmart I got it to go with. I have found it more cost effective to purchase my pictures from a vendor on the internet, but I keep photo paper on hand to print out pictures when I need something NOW. I love this paper and the quality of printing is just like a local vendor. In fact with my printer, I have more control over what and how things are printed. I didn't use this paper on an HP printer, but I recommend against getting it for any other printer (at least). As another person mentioned, it takes very long to dry, and gives worse image quality than cheaper papers. Black ink doesn't seem to absorb as much as colors, so you get odd reflectivity changes around black edges.I have been using HP premium photo papers for years. Very satisfied with their quality and price. Note that this type of glossy paper requires about one hour for drying. This is excellent photo paper. I have created hundreds of perfect quality photos on this paper. It is better paper than many professional photo developers use. I am very highly satisfied
