This paper is awful,
I’ve been delighted with many HP products over the last 30 years (I still have my first HP calculator), but this photo paper is just hideous. I bought a 100-sheet pack for use with my Canon Pixma printer, which produces lovely photos on a variety of vendors’ papers.
But when it comes to HP “Everyday” Photo Paper, I’ve experimented with a variety of printer settings to see if I can come up with an acceptable combination, but to no avail.
In a nutshell, the paper’s surface seems to resist, rather than attract, ink. A photo printed on this paper takes forever to dry, and when it does, it has a grainy, blotchy appearance, worse than any other photo paper I’ve ever used.
I’m a frugal person, so the step I took just before writing this review — tossing more than half this package into recycling — was not taken lightly. I suggest you avoid purchasing this paper.

|Photo paper both jumped up printer oR would not go through.,
I was so excited in waiting for this photo paper: The HP Everyday Photo Paper and being semi-gross of 8×10. BUT was a total disappointed, annoyance & out-rage because my New HP printer which had NO previous problems as it accepted & had not jammed up with using any other kind of photo paper. However I must have made over a dozen times in trying to use this HP Everyday Photo Paper but for each time I attempted. The Photo paper would clearly get jammed up inside the rollers OR when I got lucky and the photo paper did not get all jammed up, BUT instead this photo paper would not even be accepted into my printer.
I think for starters one of the biggest problems is that perhaps this photo paper is even much lighter in wt. then even a regular piece of white water just for documents. And secondly, I would not even consider this paper to be semi-gross. It has NO gross to it at all. This is the ONLY Photo paper that I ever had any problems with. I will also add that at first I thought the problem was with my
new HP printer, so after hours of trying to get the jammed up torn paper out.
Then I tried this same paper with my much older printer which is the HP PhotoSmart 4400., BUT again this photo paper jammed up even my older printer. BUT I gave it my best attempt.
MY advice would be unless your one whom likes to take on a challenge you are not going to win as well as you don’t mind jamming up your printer rather older or new. Take my word: DON’T waste your money just to save on the sale & free shipping.

|It is EVERYDAY paper after all,
Look – if you want to print an heirloom to pass down through the generations, this is not the paper. If you need cheap paper — becuase your children don’t write down their homework and tell you at 9:50p.m. the night before that they need a picture of themselves for class, never to be returned — this is the paper for you!
We use this paper like crazy for just about any school work you can imagine. The quality is fine for projects and science fair boards. That is really all you can say.
