HP Glossy paper on an Epson

Found some cheap HP Colour Packs at a car boot. The pack includes 5 sheets
of inkjet glossy, which I thought might work well enough on an Epson 870.

Sadly not - dreadful mottled effect, no big loss (two quid for six packs)
but seemed odd that the results would be so bad. There's obviously a huge
difference the two technologies. The generic brand paper I'm otherwise
using is great.

There is a large difference although it depends upon which Epson printer
and which ink set you are using.
