The HP Advanced photo paper, glossy, type Q8697A, is a consumable for digital photo printers in A3 format (297 x 420 mm). It is specifically developed for inkjet printers optimised for original HP ink and is intended for creating high-quality, natural-looking photo prints. The paper quality is suitable for applications such as photo albums, journals or framed memories, where a professional appearance and long-lasting colour quality are required.

Applications
This paper is suitable for use in private and commercial environments, particularly for users of HP inkjet printers from the ENVY, OfficeJet, OfficeJet Pro and PageWide series. It is recommended to use the prints for applications requiring high colour intensity and a glossy surface finish. Use in offices or for creative projects where visual quality is paramount is ideal.

Features and specifications in detail
The paper features a high-gloss surface that ensures brilliant, vibrant colours and a professional look. The paper weight is 250 g/m², providing a robust quality suitable for repeated handling. The prints are lightfast, meaning the colours remain stable over time, especially when photos are displayed under glass. Quick-drying properties allow prints to be framed immediately after printing without ink smudging.

Technology explained simply
The glossy surface of the paper reflects light and enhances colour saturation, making images appear more intense and lifelike. The paper is acid-free, contributing to the long-term stability of prints. Optimisation for original HP ink ensures that ink particles adhere optimally to the paper, achieving high print quality. The Auto Sense technology in some HP printers automatically detects the paper and selects appropriate print settings to achieve the best possible quality.

Compatibility and accessories
The paper is compatible with all inkjet printers optimised for original HP ink. It is specifically recommended for HP printer models such as ENVY, OfficeJet, OfficeJet Pro and PageWide. Use with other inkjet printers is also possible, but optimal quality is only achieved when using original HP ink. No additional accessories or special print heads are required.

Installation and mounting
The paper is supplied in a pack of 20 sheets. The packaging measures 455 mm (width) x 316 mm (depth) x 17 mm (height) and weighs 640 g. Individual sheets are in A3 format (297 x 420 mm) and can be loaded directly into the printer. No additional mounting or installation work is required. Storage should be at a temperature of 0 to 40 °C and relative humidity of 40 to 60 %.

Operational benefits
Using this photo paper provides high print quality with rich colours and long durability. Quick drying reduces processing time, and the robust paper quality allows frequent handling without quality loss. The paper is FSC® certified, meaning it comes from sustainably managed forests, and is recyclable as mixed paper. The manufacturer's warranty is 90 days, during which defective products will be replaced.
