Going off of a review here and question/answer I thought I would try this out for making high quality brochures after seeing someone say it worked fine with their inkjet printer, well I’m guessing they had an Epson resin based ink system because my Epson EcoTank ET7700 ink wanted nothing to do with this paper no matter the density/settings or paper types chosen, it would just pool ink in high colour areas and smear. This isn’t at all the paper or companies fault since it says right on their website not inkjet compatible but again I based this off a q&a and review.
The paper itself is the quality you would expect from hammermill and they are my favourite paper to date, no stars being lost because they didn’t do anything wrong, just again anyone considering it DO NOT USE in an inkjet dye based printer. It’s advertised as laser only and will likely just smear and make a mess.

Even though I have an inkjet printer, I took a chance on this “laser printer” paper because I wanted something better than regular paper but less expensive than photo paper for the calendars I am making for friends and family using photos that I have taken. This is my first venture into home publishing. My printer is a Canon Pixma ix6520 and the calendars are being made from a template that was included on the printer’s software. Half the 8.5×11 sheet is picture, half is calendar. All in all I am pleased with the finished product. The weight and glossy appearance of the paper is a major reason for my satisfaction.
For purposes of this review I am going to speak separately about printing text and photos with an inkjet printer.
Text. Prints very well and looks much better than on regular paper. The black letters are darker and where colored ink is use the letters are darker and brighter. Sheets come out of the printer dry, no problem with smearing, etc. No hesitation about using this paper in an inkjet printer for brochures and things that are mostly text. I am very pleased with the appearance of the calendar portion of my project.
Photos: The paper is not photo paper and you can see the difference. They are usable, and most likely I’m more critical as the photographer than those who receive the calendars will be, but I wish they were brighter and more colorful. Nevertheless, they are usable and look better than on plain paper. Whether they look better if printed with a laser printer, I am unable to say. But I did see comments in the previous reviews indicating that also with a laser printer they were less than what you get on photo paper. For best results under the circumstances use, when you can, photos that are bright and where the subject stands out from the background and has good colors. Some of the photos I had planned to use had to be replaced because they looked kind of muddy and the subject didn’t stand out. Be sure to print some test sheets before starting the printing, especially if photos are included. After trying the various paper setting choices offered by the printer I found that the glossy plus or glossy photo paper setting worked the best. Photos are more ink intensive than text, but this paper seems to handle it well on my inkjet printer.
Regarding the paper, I can confirm that you can print on either side or both sides of the paper. I wasn’t paying attention and discovered to my horror than the pages for a few months were 2011. Worried that I would not have enough paper I tried printing on the other side of the useless sheets and they printed just like they were fresh sheets.
To sum up, the text print quality on an inkjet printer is very good, much better than on regular printer paper. For photos, not photo paper quality but much better than on regular paper, at least on my printer. Also, the ink you use can make a difference, just as it does on photo paper.
My printer handles the weight of the paper with ease and I have had no problems with paper jams.
I’m pleased with the paper and will buy more. The quantity that you get for the price makes this paper an excellent value. It is not a replacement for photo paper (though a lot more affordable), but for brochures, calendars, etc. with all text or a combination of text and photos it is a good choice.

This paper is barely glossy. If you care about those things, then I wouldn’t recommend this paper. It smears on my Brother colour laser printer if using the tray feed, it works fine if feed by hand, photos are not that great but graphics are good. The text is excellent and the thickness is good as well It was not what I was expecting for GLOSSY PAPER.

I understand the dilemma we have trying to use a product not designed for inkjet printing. However, this paper works great in my Canon and Epson inkjet printers using dyebase or pigmented inks (pigmented inks may need longer drying time to prevent smudging). Moreover, the results are great even when duplex printing with ink. I’ve received many complements when making brochures and personal greeting cards using this paper. It’s a tad light-weight from card stock, but what rule is broken that cardstock should be used for cards, Hallmark’s? I say, makeup your own rules and see what works for you.
The colors are not perfect because my densitometer readings state that. Meaning, the colors are more than acceptable to the human eye as most people are color blind to some degree, and the densitometer supports that statement for this paper with inkjet printing. In fact, using this paper as designed, in a color laser printer, produces similar off color results too, but more than acceptable to the human eye. This paper really shines when printing B&W grayscale images with a laser printer, and acceptable inkjet B&W grayscale printouts too. Yes, this paper is a compromise in many ways, but very acceptable in many ways too. If you want near perfect, you’ll need actual, expensive, photo paper. Even then you’ll need to calibrate the photo paper to your printer whether using laser toners, or inkjets. If not calibrated, you’re wasting your money printing on expensive photo paper too.
Therefore, the Hammermill 32# double sided glossy paper (300pk 94B 16311-0) is an all around win win when used inside or outside of its designed specs. As a professional photographer I highly recommend this general purpose glossy paper as the best compromise of both worlds, and that option does not happen every day. It’s not that expensive to buy and try for yourself and your particular needs. Also, I’ve never had toner flaking caused by the paper, but am aware that some printers have caused this problem. I’ve been told, by an HP engineer during a trade show, that this problem is caused by the way paper travels through some printers with tight bends within the toner cartridge during the fusion process, and mostly occurring with rebuilt or third party toner cartridges during the electro static discharge of the toner itself onto the required cartridge components — yet it’s the paper that gets the blame. Also, high humidity exacerbates that problem. Regardless, It’s the best least perfect paper you’ll own–yet happily so. It’s the best bang for your buck you’ll have when using this paper. Also keep in mind that it’s nine bucks for 300 sheets and not 120+ bucks for 300 sheets… This paper is sometimes referred to as the Poor Man’s Photo Paper, and that’s fine by me because it meets some of my printing expectations by saving me money.

The paper itself is excellent. Absolutely no complaints. However, I was very disappointed to receive a ream that was previously opened, taped back closed, and with damaged corners. I assume it was a full ream, although I didn’t count the pages. It was still usable and as I was under a time-crunch, made do. Here’s the thing…there are times I don’t mind receiving what appears to be returned product. But I do expect to be told such. Let me make the decision, please. (And offer a better price. It’s great to keep returns out of the landfill.)

Love this paper! Prints beautifully!
I’ve ordered several other papers and it wasn’t what I was looking for but this was perfect

I went through process of adjusting printer settings but on the Xerox Phaser 6510 you cannot print full page (8.5×11) photos without blotchiness on a large portion of the leading edge of page.
4×6 on the page is fine but it seems that there is a magic size where the surface of the paper doesn’t adhere well with certain printers.

I like this paper for its intended purpose, but it didn’t work well with my inkjet printer. As shown, it smeared easily. However, the quality of the paper itself was excellent. It may perform better with a laser printer. Reviews regarding compatibility with inkjet printers are mixed, and in my case, it didn’t work as expected, smearing even before I touched it. If you have a laser printer, it could be a good choice, but for inkjet printers, it’s best to pass.

I like the paper quality but it isn’t glossy. The ink rubs off on certain prints, I even let it dry for two days to see. Great paper for simple prints.

We love using this glossy paper for printing detailed and color copies. We decided to order it on Amazon this time and I was expecting it to come in Hammermill branded packaging. I just received it today, and it is completely blank packaging. I did open one and it seems that they are the correct paper, just by feel. So buyer beware that you may or may not actually be receiving brand name paper. Regardless, it is still great paper.
