Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For starters, I'd like to say that I have very high standards for quality, as a digital artist with a home business. My products need to look professional and not home-made, as well as be durable. This product was no where near my standards. A picture says a thousand words, so check out my images and they'll tell you everything you need to know about the quality. The ink was like oil and water on the paper, separating in the darker hues, giving it a crackled/marbled texture that was noticeable from a foot and a half away. The texture is not consistent enough throughout the image to even use as a 'cute gimmick,' as the marbling only happened in darker colors. Granted, the hues had remnants of K in the CMYK scale, so its possible that the black ink is the culprit. The ink dried almost instantly on the paper (within a minute at least), however, on all versions but two of the print settings, the ink scratched right off the paper. This leaves me to deduce that the problem is more to do with the printer than with the paper. It's a fault on both products' part, to be honest, as whatever coating the paper has is resisting the HP ink. I'm using an HP Officejetpro 8620, and have had this marbling problem on one other brand of photopaper. However, I did not have this problem using Canson photo paper. Therefore, there are some types of glossy papers that are incompatible with HP printers. I would NOT recommend this product for the HP Officejet Pro series, and similar inks. The product itself, however, would have been fantastic if only it could've printed. The product has a quality feel to the surface, the paper is a nice thickness to not feel cheap or flimsy, and the adhesive is pretty good. I would use it for wine bottle labels, gift ideas, and self promotional items if I could. Please read the other reviews if you're not an HP printer user, however.
