My HP printer will only work with rough backed Premium paper. No longer made. HP does not reply. Is there any photo paper with a rough back?

I use HP Premium Plus ... it's a little 'thicker' heavy duty paper ...but the back is smooth ...so I don't know if it would work in your HP printer. My printer is an HP OfficeJetPro 8100 ... I had to give up on my old HP (over 15 yrs old that printed such great photos!) I don't know of any 'rough back' papers. Jeanne

HP Premium Plus from Switzerland had a rough backing. when I purchased again - the backing was smooth. Then I noticed the smooth backing was made in Germany. So, FWIW, the emulsion quality as far as I can tell is the same - but if you want the rough back, make sure it's from Switzerland. However, it "is" possible they don't have the Swiss contract anymore. I preferred the rough back - as did my clients. But again, the quality of the image is the same from my Canon printer. The country of manufacture is on the back of the package, lower left corner.

I have 2 HP printers and they both work. I do a lot of paper crafts and all of it's on HP. Chances are yours is an inkjet printer.

I have not been able to get my Epson XP-400 to print on any medium-heavy weight card stock, even when I hand feed it single sheets. I have a friend who was able to ram a few sheets of 100# pages through, but then the printer wouldn't pull any type of paper through after that. I highly recommend you don't ram paper through - the person below who says "Its' not an HP" so you can rough the printer up does not appear to be trustworthy or logical.

Using the HP OEM inks and photo paper, photo's are excellent. So far we have had ours a little over a year, printed many, many photos (mostly 4x6) and had no problems what-so-ever. We also use it as our everyday printer.

I called Epson directly with this question, and the rep said "To be honest...." this printer isn't really designed to handle the "stiffer" paper, like cardstock for greeting cards or business cards. I appreciate their honesty! because I was all set to get this printer, but it turns out it isn't designed with one of the major functions I want. ((Weird -- it makes coloring book pages and prints on DVDs -- but won't print on cardstock?!)Back to the drawing board.....

I bought a HP Photosmart Plus and when printing my pics using Picasa they came out with lines on them. Didn't happen with the old HP (an 1210 Xi all in one). Is there a compatibility issue here?

I have been using the paper on a HP Deskjet 1600c. They paper works great for this printer.

I used what I had on hand which was HP photo paper - photos turned out great! If you haven't tried the restore photo function, try it! I restored a 20 year old photo that turned out great. Looks like I just took the picture!

I have a HP Photosmart 5520; the black worked but the others shut down the printer.It said they were start up cartriges and could not be used again.

Ha! Mine prints black, but colors are sketchy at best. These printers are fatally flawed and HP views them as disposable. I had to pony up for another printer over a year ago.

Give it up dude. I searched and searched for a printer that would work with ME and finally gave up and bought a new computer. I did find and purchase an older version HP printer that said it would work with ME on the box but HP had withdrawn the drivers from their website, so I took it back. Go buy a new computer. (ME never did anything but suck anyway.)

I can only use HP paper in my printer other brands so not work this is why I stick with HP and also the instant dry stinks I can not use that either

Doesn't work so well with cardstock or photopaper. Usually there is a setting that tells the printer the paper is heavier or glossy but I can't find it if there is. When using cardstock, the print comes out spotted and streaked.

We have one attached to our HP OfficeJet 7610 and have printed thousands of double-sided pages without any trouble. Very thick paper or cardstock can cause trouble with any duplexer so be sure to check the specs for maximum paper thickness. Regular 20 to 28 lb paper has been working for us for some time. Cleaning the paper feed rollers from time to time using a Q-Tip dampened with rubbing alcohol seems to work well to keep paper feeds even and straight. It works as if it had come with the printer to begin with.

Yes and no. It is the only paper I use for everyday use. It has Colorlok, which makes it usable for photos, but it is not photo paper. Though I do use it for photos and they are usable prints, for general use. Example, pic of a neighbors yard, to show to your Association Board and not waste, Premium Photo Paper.You are not going to have a high gloss photo, as you would with HP Premium Photo Paper, High Gloss.

Not if I am careful to use good (I use hp paper) paper. This great printer will feed envelopes very well. I use that feature to play around with fonts for Christmas cards and gifts. While looking for a good printer for another location I I had bad results with several of the highest rated (by consumer's union) hp printers. This happened in a very dry climate using old paper. I bought new paper and still had feed problems with other hp models. When trying this (8600) - the feed problems just went away. I believe the dry climate drys and stiffens the paper, taxing any printer's feed system. If you are in a dry (or very humid) climate, read all hp instructions about paper storage, loading and feeding. One other problem I brought on myself at the dry climate location - I bought the 8600 at a retailer (big box store). Never again. I bought my latest 8600 directly from hp to get hp support. Best printer decision I ever made. HP warranty and support is world class or better and the first year support is free. I've extended my hardware and hp system support. Next best money I ever spent. Hope this helps you.

Sorry, I have no knowledge of this HP printer. It probably will if it has a setting for a watercolor paper. If the printer has no such setting, you could try HP support or pick up a sheet of cold press WC paper at an Art store. HTH
