- Optimized for HP pigment inks to deliver a wide color gamut, rich saturation, precise skin tones, and excellent fade resistance. The combination of pigment-based inks and the gloss coating produces deep blacks and crisp midtones, making images pop while maintaining accuracy across a broad range of subjects—from portraiture to high-contrast landscapes. This synergy is especially valuable for proofs and proofs-to-final prints, where color accuracy and consistency are critical for client satisfaction and brand integrity.
- Instant-dry gloss finish minimizes smudging and hand smudges, enabling immediate handling, stacking, and finishing after printing. This feature is a meaningful time-saver in fast-paced production environments, reducing bottlenecks in post-processing and enabling quicker turnaround times for proofs, presentations, and on-demand materials. The instant-dry capability also supports smoother lamination and mounting workflows, helping you maintain throughput without sacrificing image integrity.
- Large-format efficiency with a 36 inches by 100 feet roll offers substantial productivity for posters, banners, proofs, and large photo panels. The extended roll length minimizes the frequency of media changes, lowering start-up time and waste, while delivering consistent color and finish across long print runs. This format is ideal for studios, design houses, schools, and retail operations that regularly produce sizable visual assets for campaigns, events, and point-of-sale materials.
- Glossy, everyday recyclable paper that resists smudges and minor moisture exposure, making it suitable for proofs, client approvals, and display-ready photos. The gloss surface enhances color clarity and contrast, helping designs stand out in bright storefronts or gallery settings. The combination of durability and recyclability aligns with responsible business practices without compromising on image appeal or performance in typical office and studio environments.
- Versatile compatibility across HP large-format printers and pigment-based inks, enabling a smooth, dependable printing experience for varied workloads. This paper is designed to deliver consistent results whether you’re printing high-contrast visuals, fine line art, or photography-rich layouts. The cohesive integration with HP print technology helps ensure predictable outputs, reducing the learning curve for teams adopting new workflows or expanding to larger formats.

How to install HP Everyday Instant-dry Gloss Photo Paper
- Prepare your printer and media: Power on the printer, verify that the roll is correctly loaded on the roll feeder or tray, and ensure the media path is clear of obstructions. Align guides to match the 36" width to prevent skew during feed.
- Set the correct media type in printer settings: In the printer driver or control panel, select a media type that matches gloss photo paper optimized for pigment inks. Choose the highest print quality setting appropriate for the job to unlock color depth and detail.
- Configure color management: Use ICC profiles provided by HP or your color-management workflow to ensure color accuracy across proofing and final prints. If you’re working with brand guidelines, apply the relevant profiles to maintain consistency across campaigns and channels.
- Load and orientation: When using a 36" roll, ensure the lead edge is straight and the paper is feeding with minimal curling. For best results, print with the glossy side facing outward and verify that the media path is free of rollers that could scratch the surface.
- Print and handle with care: Print the job and allow the paper to dry instantly due to the instant-dry coating. Handle prints by the edges or use clean gloves to avoid fingerprints, and store finished pieces flat or properly supported to maintain image integrity before mounting or display.
