HP HPQ1426B Universal Gloss Photo Paper (HEWQ1426B) - Premium Quality for Professional Photo Printing, Home Office & Creative Projects

Recently got hold of a 24" HP inkjet printer, DesignJet class. After renewing all the printheads and topping up the ink, realized the bond paper I got for testing the old heads wasn't going to provide the kind of output I would want for anything serious. So I picked up a roll of the HP Gloss. Now I can see just how great this printer really is, and sadly, just how unimpressive my photos really are... ;)I order Amazon for a public school district. This must be okay to recommend b/c I didn't hear any complaints (and believe me I would have.)This is a decent rolled photo paper for large format printers. The only down side is the drying time so you can't print for speed.Lovely results on professional mediaThe product was excellent, just what I wanted.Yes!Hp 85 Light magenta ink never dries on this paper. I used to be able to use this paper to print with my hp designjet 130nr and sell my artwork without any problem. However, even thought the name is the same, the product has changed. I first noticed that I could no longer sign my name on the back of the prints in pencil—yet I’d been doing that wihtout problem for years. Something on the back of the paper had changed. Even worse, to my horror, the light magenta ink NEVER dries! I cannot sell artwork if the ink smears off in the packaging. How can they sell this as the usual HP Universal Gloss if it isn’t the Same product? I cleaned my printheads, replaced my ho 85 light magenta ink, but still same smeary problem. I then tested printing on some older photo paper I found, and the magenta ink dried just like it used to. So what happened? Why did they ruin this product? And how am I supposed to find a replacement roll that won’t have the smear problem. No help from hp customer service.I am using a fairly old HP Design jet 1300NR (which works perfectly). However the non branded glossy photo paper I was using immediately before changing to the HP roll worked fine. As per other reviewer certain colours simply do not dry. I have left for over 24 hours and ink will still brush off the paper. I am fairly experience with large format printers and have tried various paper settings and personal calibrations with no joy. Having not tried until after 30 days the supplier washed their hands of it and told me I should ring HP (providing an incorrect number). I am now probably stuck with this. I will only be purchasing from a supplier with relevant specialised knowledge in future.Dieses Universal-Fotopapier habe ich seit Jahren auf einem HP Designjet 120für Plakat Drucke mit sehr gutem Ergebnis in Verwendung.Auch im freien im Klapp-Rahmen hinter einer Acryl Platte ist eine Verwendung bis zu 3 Monatenohne großen Farbverlust möglich.Preis / Leistung sehr gut, darum immer wieder 5 Sterne.Looks great
