Very nice quality paper. Has an extra half inch in length that is not printed on and is perforated so it can be removed after the picture is dry. Is great for holding the picture when it first comes out of the printer and it's still wet. Would definitely buy more.

I have an HP 8450xi printer and I've been stunned by the results that I can get with this paper.

I bought the printer because I shoot all of my photos in RAW format and save edited versions in lossless formats. Photo labs require that the pictures be saved in JPEG, which can introduce artifacts, even at the highest quality setting. This is especially a problem with subtle shading, like cloudy gray skies. A commercial printing service ruined several photos from an overcast day at the ocean by introducing such artifacts, so I decided to take control over my own photos.

The 8450xi printing on this paper gives me total control of my photos and amazing results. When printed at the maximum DPI quality setting, the details are stunning- the sharpest photos that I've ever seen.

Photo paper is specific to manufacturer, so don't use this paper in your Canon or Epson printer like another reviewer did- you'll probably be disappointed by the results. If you have a Canon printer, buy Canon paper. Also, don't use it in your older HP printer. (The box specifically lists the Photosmart 100, 130, 230, 1000, 1100, 1115,1215, 1218, or 1315 and HP Deskjet 950 series as printers that are not compatible with this paper.)

If you have one of the HP printers that this is designed for and you want professional-looking, long lasting photos, you can't beat this paper. If you're just looking to print snapshots and you don't really care about the quality, this isn't the paper for you. You're probably better off using a printing service, or buying cheap photo paper. Because of the cost, I save this paper for the photos that really matter and print the rest of them at Snapfish.

I was surprised, that my pictures looked better on this paper, than when I used to send film out to Kodak for development.

Well I was undecided on whether to choose Gloss or Semi Gloss paper. I had used gloss before with great results but decided to try Semi Gloss this time. Semi Gloss does not compare to Gloss. It is like watching tv on a LCD screen versus LED with Gloss being LED. I will be buying Gloss next time!

It is a great buy at Amazon as this product is the exact same paper as I have always used except for the tab. It takes a little time on the paper cutter after printing, but to get the paper at less than half price of the tab-less version is a no brainer.

I think the gentleman who had problems with the paper must have had issues with his printer. I cannot say enough good about the paper. I was using the normal HP paper and happened to pick up a package of the Premium plus . When I ran out of the cheaper HP paper, I began using the HP Premium Plus. I was amazed at the quality of the photos. My printer is an HP Photosmart and it automatically senses the type of paper being used and it prints slower with the higher quality paper; however, this paper turned out some terrific photos. They are every bit as good a quality as any that I have ever had commercially done. I highly recommend the paper to anyone. Just a caution; however, it takes about an hour for the prints to be throughly dry and you should wait about 7 days to frame them according to HP. It is well worth the wait in my opinion.

This paper is great for my HP photo printer. It never jams and when used with HP ink, HP photo printer and the HP paper, my prints turn out great.

I've been using this photo paper for years now and will never change! I print my own photos on my HP printer-scanner-copier and the quality is fantastic. My friends always ask me why their photos are either dark, smeared, blurry or not sharp and I tell them it's the photo paper they are using. Once they try this HP Premium Plus Photo Paper (with tab) they are customers for life! After loading my photos into my laptop photo library, I go through them and try to lighten the exposure on most of them. This just adds to the icing on the cake! I have always used the High Gloss since I prefer this type but I am sure the Matte Finish is just as good (never used it though.) You will not be unhappy with the results after switching to this HP Premium Plus Photo Paper!!!

I was terribly disappointed in this product which I bought for use in my Canon Pixma iP6000D printer. The image is grainy and, if you touch the photo within 5 minutes, you will leave marks. I laid anothe picture on top of one done 5 minutes earlier, and they stuck together. I have had very good luck with Canon paper.
