Amazon.com has Kodak Premium Picture Paper at $20 for 50 sheets. (list
price $70)
I know that some papers do NOT work well on some printers despite the
manufacturer's assurance that it works on ALL inkjet printers.
Has anybody used Kodak Premium Picture Paper on an H-P printer that uses
#56 and #57 ink?
How well does it work compared to H-P photo Paper?

I use it as my everyday paper on my HP 7960. Its not quite as vivid as
the HP Premium Plus paper, but looks nice. It takes a little longer to
dry than the HP paper, but there is no sign of wheel marks that others
have mentioned when using non-HP papers on the 7960. Be sure to go to
http://www.kodak.com/US/en/digital/d...iumPaper.shtml
to get the correct settings for your printer.

BTW, the Amazon price is OK, but this paper is always in stock at an
attractive price at BJ's Wholesale and Costco. Staples also ran a buy
one get one free on Kodak papers last week.

I mostly use Kodak paper in my HP 930C printer. It works fine.

Thanks for the valuable feedback.

I have used various Kodak papers in several models of HP printers
HP722C, HP545C, HP 3850, and HP PSC1350. Currently using the Kodak
'soft gloss' photo paper with excellent results.

Don't have an HP, but I do use the Kodak paper - it can be had in high gloss
for $18 and change for 75 sheets at Sam's Club, if you have one reasonably
close and are a member (or know one). The soft gloss is about the same
price for 100 sheets.

Be aware that your print life can be expected to be much shorted using the
Kodak paper than if you use HP Premium Plus Photo paper. There may also
be some color shift issues.

Spend some time reading the material at:

http://www.wilhelm-research.com

How much this matters to you depends on your application, but if you plan to
make some prints to frame and display, expected print life is a serious
issue. You don't really want that nice photo to be faded and color shifted
a year or two down the line, do you?

Hi Robert,

Since Kodak papers are different from others, the settings need to be
adjusted. Kodak has opted to do this by using the One Touch feature of
EasyShare Software (a free download). The One Touch option includes
adjustments to just about all the popular printers and related drivers.
Kodak has a lab where nothing but printing is continually being done. We
test our paper on all the printers and the most current driver. The final
result is a setting for that printer that yields optimum results when
printing with a particular Kodak paper.

This is all provided free in the Kodak EasyShare Software. If you have
Kodak paper and a compatible printer, your results should be excellent. If
you have not tried the system just yet, you might want to consider it. If
you use other paper, your driver is reset to what it was originally.

Please review the process by going to

http://www.kodak.com/go/onetouch
then
http://www.kodak.com/go/easysharesw

Let me know how it goes, and talk to you soon.
