I'll second that - I use it as my standard paper in a HP Deskjet 560C. 
As the paper is very smooth, the ink does not tend to absorb into the 
surface as it does on the cheaper papers. It does, however, 'dull' 
heavily coloured graphics a little and I find that switching to special 
coated paper for this use obviates this minor problem.
