Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between soft gloss and high gloss? Soft gloss (also called semi-gloss or satin) has a lower sheen than high gloss, which reduces reflections and fingerprint visibility while still delivering vibrant color reproduction. It is often preferred for portraits and fine art where a more refined, less reflective surface is desired.

Is this paper compatible with laser printers? No — the HP CR667A is specifically designed for inkjet printers. Using it in a laser printer may result in poor print quality or equipment damage.

How does Premium Plus compare to HP's standard photo papers? HP Premium Plus is HP's top-tier photo paper line, featuring heavier weight (300gsm), superior coating for an enhanced color gamut, and improved fade resistance compared to HP's standard and everyday photo paper lines.
