Replacement for HP Premium Plus

[ronald_smith6]

<p>Now that HP has decided to replace their best paper with a new source stock, it is lighter and creases in my HP7960. I can use the new stock to make fine 5x7's (just cut a sheet in half), but it would be nice to be able to make 8x10's without any worries.<br>

Is there a third-party or another brand of paper that works well in HP printers and with their ink? Are there any adjustments I would need to make in the printing box?</p>

<p>I use hp Advanced in my hp8250 Printer. 4X6, 5X7 and Letter size. It has always worked well for me. I don't know about the 7960 and its profile.</p>

<p>I tried the new HP Premium Plus paper (8.5 x 11) in my HP 8750 and it does not crease. Maybe your 7960 is starting to show its age. As for me, I'll soon be getting a Canon 9000 Mk II. Lots of them around for $225-250 USD.</p>

I don't think it's my printer, I have some old stock HP Premium Plus, no problems. I did notice the newer paper is lighter. I am also toying with the idea of getting the B8850 in the near future.

<p>While this will free you from using swellable papers, I'm not sure I'd invest in a discontinued model in a market sector that HP has abandoned.</p>

<p>Oh? I had not realized HP was out of this market; I better try some of that Ilford Pearl paper.</p>
