I'm planning to use this paper for printing business cards, is it useful for that? Do you think I can use it with an hp printer, regardless of epson brand of the paper??Thanks

I use this with an hp printer and it works great. I haven't used it for business cards, but I don't see why you couldn't. Seems like it would be easier to use pre-scored paper for that, but if you have a paper cutter this would probably work fine.

Theoretically yes, but this stuff is just a tad thicker than ordinary paper - I'd recommend something quite a lot heavier if you want a card that *feels* right or important.

Not thick enough for business cards. Check out Avary Business Card products... that's what I use.

Yes i have always had an HP printer and have been using this paper for a few years now, this paper prints color so nice.

I have used it for years with two HP printer models with great success. My present one is a Photosmart C5180 and it prints great photos with this paper. (I'm a professional and am totally satisfied with this paper.)

Nope. I have a Cannon Maxima. Does your Epson printer have any listed guidelines about the types of printing paper that you should use?

Kodak Premium Photo paper 4x6 should work well with your HP printer as long as your paper input adjusts down to that size. I have used it on my aunt's printer without any issues.

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.

I do fine art printing and I love using this as reference: http://www.paper-paper.com/weight.html The paper is noting 110 lb Index, which is about a 9 pt. thickness and matching the picture, 199 gsm. I wouldn't exactly recommend this for professional business card printing, but the extra weight is definitely pretty good to have. If you can get 12 pt. or higher (1pt. or 1 mil represents a thousandths (0.001") of an inch), it'll definitely do better for you.

Honestly, as good as this printer is for large-format photographs I think it would be overkill for things like invitations. It is optimized for very subtle color gradation using multiple ink tanks for use with specialty photo papers, something that would not be appreciated on the kind of card stock that invitations are printed on. Using so many ink tanks make it relatively costly to use compared to a more suitable printer. While I couldn't recommend a particular brand or model without seeing what you're printing and what quantity you have in mind, 4 ink tanks is enough to create excellent color for graphics/photos printed on card stock. Look for a printer with very large ink tanks (the manufacturers publish how many milliliters of ink are in their tanks). Amazon has a "top-rated/best-seller" feature for inkjet printers, it's a good starting point.

Hey, buddy, bad news first. I'm not sure about the ink. However, I do use whatever paper is the cheapest for private projects and non-commercial purposes. Never had any problems with moderate use. Meow, I'm not 100% sure whether or not the printer has built-in profiles for non HP paper, I think it does, but can't verify this because my printer is currently out of state. Hope that helped some.

This is just regular inkjet/copier printer paper. Of Medium quality I might add. It will do the job for regular printing and if you have special needs or uses, you should look for specific paper for your end use. This is just run of the mill inkjet printer paper.

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

Not sure. It is like very heavy business cards, and a little heavier than many greeting cards. It is heavy enough that some printers will not work well with it, such as my HP Officejet 8100, which is supposed to be able to use it, but it doesn't. I'm not sure if that will help, but may give you some idea.

I got one of these for my landlady who's ancient Ricoh laser stopped working. I myself have an HP Color LaserJet. The quality produced by her Epson is "better" than my LaserJet ... so much so that I've been considering replacing the LaserJet. Inkjet technology has come an awfully long way since it was first introduced.

Yes, it seems to work best on Epson photo paper, but does a good job on other brands, either matte or glossy. It can print all of those sizes.

I never used it for photos, but it prints nice cards. It isn't shiny like photo paper, so I wouldn't think it could be used for that.

If you are planning to print on card stock, I would strongly suggest you not buy this printer. Card stock, even the light cardstock such as business cards will not feed consistently...gets worse as the printer is used. Look for a printer that has a rear feed. I bought a Canon IP4920 for that purpose alone...it works great. The Epson 730 has a lot of nice features and works well as a network printer (but doesn't support Windows 8...yet) I love the little special drawer that prints on CD/DVDs....works great....software for that (and the scanner) is nice as well.

I use it regularly with 110# card stock and it will print on it. You might need to watch the feed. I've not had a jam but I have had more than one piece of paper try to run through at the same time. Overall, I'd say this is a very dependable and versatile printer.
