I have tried to print on 'HP superior Paper 180 glossy' with an Epson Photo Stylus R200 printer. Every print I try is bleeding; the blacks bleed into the colours like a water colour painting. I have printed on all types of paper before with no problem.
I have tried every different possible way of printing, even 'draft' and it bleeds on every attempt. Doeas anyone know why this should be?

Try printing on every different paper but 'HP superior Paper 180 glossy'.
If its causing you problems, when others don't, don't use it!
I know that's no answer, but sometimes different papers are not compatible with different manufactures printers.
Have a try of this paper, . . . . Canon PR 101 .
In my opinion, the best glossy photo paper you can get.
Between you and me, an Epson rep actually advised me to use it!!

have you tried other photo papers, are you printing on the photo settings on your printer, are you using quick drying ink for photo paper?

As has been said, don't use that paper! Have you looked at your Epson User's Guide? Mine gives a list of papers to use. Needless to say, they're all from Epson! This page will give you some information about Epson papers.

Most modern prinrter inks require the paper to be able to absorb a small amount of ink during the drying process. It seems clear that the paper you used will not absorb anything so before the ink has dried it will start running, something akin to using emulsion paint on a shiny surface. I can only assume that HP inks have a faster drying time than Epson and therefore don't need the absorbtion factor.

I have used different paper in various epson printers and never had a problem. you may check the Epson Stylus Photo R200 User's Guide to make sure. I think they just suggest to use epson paper (which might be a good idea) but none of the Epson printer manuals explictely says that other paper types WILL cause damage. hope this helps.

Just found this post after a lot of searching today. I've just wasted 2 full black cartridges trying to work out why the HP 180 glossy paper bleeds under any setting on my Epson r220. There is no warning from HP that their paper may be incompatible with other printers. Maybe I should know this already. I certainly do now.
I can return to the shop and ask for a refund with confidence now. Thanks.
