okay, so I bought this paper to produce tri-fold brochures. I will agree with the other reviewer that it prints beautifully. BUT - as soon as you try to fold it, it cracks and the top glossy layer of paper peels away like a bad sunburn. I WOULD NOT BUY THIS PAPER AGAIN. I have tried it in every possible direction in my printer but it is just very poorly scored. Do yourself a favor - buy regular glossy paper for one third the cost and fold it yourself - I guarantee it will work better.

We have been using the HP 48lb trifold glossy brochure paper for a number of years to promote our church and preschool. Assuming a good quality inkjet printer is used, the finished product looks professional. Some reviews indicate a change in the paper and issues with folding. We have not had this problem. Although the box the paper comes in changed about a year ago (the new box falls appart easily) the paper has not significantly changed. The paper is still made in Germany. Keep in mind that the paper is designed to fold in one direction, away from the scored side, so be careful which way you load the paper

This is the greatest thing for those who have to print a limited number of brochures due to periodic changes, dates, times, cost, etc, I wish they had this years ago as we have thrown away a lot of old brochures and cost. The results are very professional looking.

I just started my own business so I have a very tight budget. I used this paper on my Canon BJC-2000 using the highest quality print mode and my brochures look like they came from a professional printers. Slow on my printer but the quality is beautiful. The paper is so sleek and classy.

I like the glossiness of the paper and the way the brochures look prior to being folded. All that flew right out the window when I tried to fold them into brochures. The scoring is not the best idea. When I tried folding one way, I wound up with ripped edges. When I tried folding the other way, I wound up with the middle of the brochure being too wide and not presenting correctly. In my opinion, there should not be any scoring at all. Would have been better if there were indentations in the paper without the actual scoring. The scoring causes the paper to tear too easily. I ended up wasting over half the box. The only reason the other half wasn't wasted was because I took extra time to fold each individual brochure in a completely different place than where it was originally scored. Waste of time, ink and money!! Will NOT purchase again!

I have been using the HP glossy TRIFOLD BROCHURE PAPER for inkjets for years. It was brilliant white, nice texture, clean, sharp folds and printed beautifully on fast-normal. It also matched my glossy business cards, perfectly. I just purchased a new box (which in itself was falling apart)that is now black with a gray illustration for "Zuccotto" on the front. The paper has a squeeky, gritty, sticky feel, the folds crack and are not clean but broken folds. The color is closer to an off-white. I am so disgusted with this that I am going to take it into every office supply store and show them the difference. If you buy it, look for the old blue box with an image of a green tri-fold brochure for "Lending Service" on the front. How can a company do this!!! If you have never used the HP tri-fold you may be impressed but, believe me when I say that it is a grossly inferior product compared to what they were producing within the past year.

Despite one very negative review, I took a chance on two boxes, but immediately returned one. Two stars is generous. I tried it on my HP 5650, which model number is NOT among those listed on the box and in marketing material as NOT among those printers for which this paper is optimized. This double negative unwinds this way for me: This paper is worse than lighter, less expensive, generic printer paper. The image quality is no better; the print quality is worse; the heavy weight offsets the advantage of two-sided printing; and the double-glossy paper jambs my printer's feeder. I would be embarrassed to issue a brochure of the quality I was able to produce. I'll revert to generic glossy premium photo paper to display photos and text. The 97 sheets remaining of this foul purchase may end up as packing material.
