Glossy Photo Paper Roll

This HP Q8918A roll is a glossy photographic paper optimised for pigment inks. It measures 42 inches wide by 100 feet long and comes as a single 235 g/m² roll. The microporous surface enables high ink density, fast drying and vibrant, long-lasting colour.

Best for pigment-ink wide-format printing

Photographers and graphics professionals using HP Z-series or Designjet printers will achieve superior fade resistance and colour accuracy. The paper is also compatible with other pigment-ink wide-format devices. Buyers who need dye-ink media, sheet-fed paper or a matte finish should consider a different product.

235 g/m² weight with 90 % brightness

The paper weight of 235 g/m² per ISO 536 and brightness of 90 % per TAPPI T-452 and ISO 2470 define the media's feel and colour reproduction. These figures determine whether the roll matches the output quality and handling required for professional photographic or proofing work.

Questions about this item

Will the 42-inch wide roll feed through my older HP Designjet Z-series printer without skewing?

The roll measures 42 inches wide and is designed for HP Z-series and Designjet printers, so it fits the standard spindle on those models.

How can I verify the glossy surface is performing as intended after the first print?

Check for vibrant colours, fast dry time and no ink pooling — the microporous coating is engineered for maximum absorption and fade resistance with pigment inks.

What comes in the box and do I need to buy a spindle or core adapter separately?

The package contains one 42-inch by 100-foot roll of 235 g/m² glossy photo paper on a standard core; no spindle or adapter is included.
