Yesterday, HP premium Plus 4 x 6 papers were sale on Woot.com.
Without any thought, I ordered some( I did not receive it yet).
I am wondering whether HP photopapers are compatible with Canon inkjet
printers or not.

BTW, I went Costco to buy more Kirkland photopapers.
It seems that Kirkland papers are no longer available in Costco.
Is that correct?

that is incorrect. it might be your costco was out of them. they sell
the full sheet (probably ilford) and the cut sheet that is made in the USA.

the full sheet is somewhat better and can be cut to size using the
fiskars rotary cutter sold at costco. i think that hp photo paper is
somewhat different and should be reserved for hp pritners and is also
more expensive. costco paper works best with canon or epson ink.

RE: Costco Kirkland paper - I do hope you are wrong!

Interesting. I have a thread open on what paper doesn't work in what
printers and why. Please let us know how how your HP paper works out.

I love Kirkland papers. When I went to our local Costco last week, the
aisle was gone.
I even visited the Costco website to order Kikland papers. It is not listed
on the website.
I hope to see it again sometime during summer travel season.

apparently you are doing something wrong. the link below came from
costco.com website. physically the stuff is at the stores. they also
have the 4x6 cut sheet made in the USA but that does not appear to be as
pure as the full sheet that is purported to be made by ilford in switzerland

I was wrong on this one.
You must have eagle's eye. I missed that one on Costoc website.

Upon reading your message this morning, I went Costco. The aisle for
photosection returned.
There were Kirkland papers (letter size and 4 x 6) including Kodak
photopapers. I grabbed two packs of Kirkland 2 x4 papers. Thanks.

keep in mind that the full sheet 8.5x11 is brighter and whiter and is
made in switzerland probably by ilford. the cut 4x6 may not be as good a
quality and is more off white. costco also sells a specially built for
costco fiskars rotary paper cutter that is great. using the full sheet
and a good matte cutter along with the fiskars one can get many
different sizes for framing without having to crop out portions of a
picture one likes just to keep all of the contraints relative.

Thank you for the very important information. Naturally, nobody would think
that letter size and 4x6 cut size papers were different. You're right.
Once in a while, when I printed on the letter size Kirkland papers> Prints
seem to be more glossy and brighter than the smaller cut size. Thanks.

I print lots of 4x6 photos. I had been cutting a whole box of costco 8.5x11
paper at a time into 4x6's to make borderless prints more conveniently.
Although the newer 4x6 paper, made in the USA, has a very slight ivory tone,
it is every bit as good as the 8.5x11 costo paper and much more convenient.
If you didn't hold prints on each paper next to each other you wouldn't
notice the slight off-white tone. I keep some of each on hand and am
delighted with both. I've now printed over 1,000 4x6's on the 4x6 paper.
Excellent quality. BTW, I did black and white photography processing in my
own darkroom for many years and used a wide array of papers, many of which
were purposely bought with a slight ivory tone to add warmth to the print.
On comparison, you will also notice that Canon Glossy Photo Paper Pro is not
quite as bright white as the costco 8.5x11 paper! If the Canon PPP paper is
supposed to be the OEM benchmark, perhaps the 4x6 paper comes closer in tone
than the 8.5x11.
