This paper is really good for photos. I took some HP Everyday Photo Paper and this HP Premium Plus Photo Paper and printed the same image on both. Premium Plus was much, much better. You could see definition in places where it was kinda fuzzy on the other paper. For me, this purchase was definitely worth the extra money.
For years, I have bought the cheapest photo paper to use on my printer. As I have become more sensitive to how my photos look, I realized that I wasn't getting the quality I wanted. I recently purchased an HP K8600 OfficeJet Pro and a friend told me if I used HP paper, I wouild have the best quiality photos I could possibly get. She was right. Now, I buy ONLY HP Premium Plus photo paper. The photos truly look like they are supposed to look. Very high quality.
"Great Photo Paper"

Used in conjunction with old HP Photosmart 7350 and the color tones and vibrance are great. I like it much, much better than the Kodak equivalent.
I've used HP photo printers for several years. I've used quite a few brands of papers over that time and none consistently look as good or work with less frustration than HP's own Premium Plus glossy. I really like to shoot black and white--both digitally and with film. Other brands will dry down with some strange off-color tints. In color or black and white, sometimes the prints dry so slowly they stick together when they feed from the printer. And sometimes the prints fade out pretty fast. the Premium Plus glossy papers simply work better with the HP printers.
With the Vivera inks, HP says your photos will last longer than photofinisher prints. I can't verify that assertion. But the prints always look good and, with proper storage, they should serve the majority of home photographers well.
While many will complain about the cost of this paper, they surely haven't done any chemical photo processing. The price of a 25-sheet package of high quality fiber-based black and white silver-based photographic paper will usually cost considerably more than a 50-sheet box of the HP Premium Plus. The inks are costly as well but photo chemicals are also expensive and require a dedicated area to make your prints. Printing with ink is more convenient, produces adequate quality and can be done economically and consistently.
"HP Auto Sense ruins this paper"

The paper itself is great but HP has a new feature called Auto Sense. This is a small barcode on all 4 corners on the underside of the paper. But when they packaged the paper, the ink on the bar code wasn't dry yet so the barcode ink has dried on the print-side of the next sheet in the pack. After printing you can still clearly see these marks because the printer ink doesn't stick to the already dried bar-code ink. The marks are especially visible if the corner of your photo is one color, like the sky. And on Premium Plus photo paper at 0.70 per sheet I'd expect better. I'm returning mine.
