Comments about HP Universal Instant-dry Semi-gloss Photo Paper - 42" Wide Roll - 100' Long:
I bought this paper to print my architectural thesis project final presentation. It was printed using a archival photo quality plotter. This semigloss was a perfect medium that made my technical drawings look professional but also made my renders pop. I could not be happier with it! And it was about half the price of similar rolls of paper. The only way I could think to improve it would be to make it a bit thicker (I had 42" x 6' drawings and they were a bit difficult to maneuver without creasing.) At the same time, I'm not sure that I've seen much thicker photo paper for plotters.
