HP HPQ1426B 24" Universal Gloss Photo Paper Roll

The HP HPQ1426B is a 24-inch wide, 100-foot gloss photo paper roll engineered as a total printing solution for HP Designjet large-format printers. The 7 mil thickness strikes a balance between media body — enough to resist ink saturation-induced waviness — and flexibility for roll handling and cutting. The gloss surface coating is formulated specifically to interact with HP Designjet pigment ink chemistry, which is what enables the rated up-to-30-year indoor display permanence. That figure is not marketing padding; it reflects the bonding stability between HP pigment particles and this specific coating under controlled display conditions. For photographers, print labs, or designers outputting work meant to be displayed or delivered to clients, that permanence spec meaningfully separates this from commodity photo paper.

In practice, this roll is built for the HP Designjet owner who wants predictable, repeatable output without chasing third-party media profiles. The 24-inch width covers the most common large-format print dimensions — architectural prints, photographic enlargements up to 24x36, and standard wide-format presentation graphics. The gloss finish delivers peak color vibrancy from HP pigment sets, making it the right choice for color-critical photo enlargements and poster work where saturation and perceived sharpness matter. Buyers running alternative ink systems should note that the coating chemistry and permanence specs are calibrated for HP Original pigment inks; non-HP ink users will see degraded adhesion characteristics and longevity claims will not apply.
