This paper is expensive. Moreover, it drinks ink in comparison to HP advanced photo paper. On the other hand, it is thick and its finish is truly that of "art" paper. In other words, a photo printed on this paper will look like a painting rather than a photo. Therefore should be very careful which photo's you choose to print-- not just
because of the expense, but because some just do not look as good on this textured
paper vs. "photo" paper (glossy or satin). If you choose the "correct" photo, the
results are spectacular, and beg to be framed or matted.

Since Amazon didn't put useful product information on the web page ("Dimension: 3.0lbs" is not meaningful for paper - it should be in inches or cm, and have thickness), I went to HP's website and did a search for their product number Q8728A.

It returned the following:

Since I can't submit a "review" without a rating, I used 5 stars on the basis of the high marks of the Wilhelm review. I HAVE NOT yet used it, as I had to do this research just to find out what the .... I'm trying to buy.

results very good but hard to tell the front from the back side could be a problem for outstanding results otherwise excellent product adb
