HP B9180 and Red River Glossy / Satin Papers

After more print tests and customer feedback, we no longer recommend Red River glossy, satin, and semigloss inkjet papers for the B9180. Note that the below problems are issues with most pigment ink systems. You may or may not be able to live with them if you have an B9180. Try a sample kit before you place any orders to find out!

1) Bronzing - the darkest areas of photos on Red River UltraPro Gloss/Satin, Polar Gloss/Satin, and Denali Gloss/SemiGloss have a raised 3D effect. This occurs because of dark pigment buildup in those areas.

2) Gloss Differential - Very white / light spots in an image appear to shimmer when the paper is held at an angle as they are mostly void of ink.

We are doing our very best to warn of any Red River inkjet paper that will offer less than optimal performance for a specific printer.

As always - ORDER A SAMPLE KIT if you wish to try our papers and prove compatibility with the B9180 for yourself!!!!

HP B9180 and Red River Paper

The HP B9180 is here and running. Here is the official Red River Paper position regarding this printer (updated May 2007):

Our photo weight papers (59lb. weight and above) should only be used with the front specialty media tray. The paper cassette feed mechanism may damage photo weight papers.

Color profiles will be available for a limited selection of our papers. When available, they will be posted either on our website on the Yahoo B9180 groups page.

We strongly encourage you to BUY A SAMPLE KIT if you want to see if Red River papers work in your HP B9180. You can order the appropriate kit here

We will continue to evaluate the printer and look for a specific set of Red River paper that can be used consistently and with good results. Any further information regarding the B9180 will be posted here.
