Tips for Selecting and Using Banner Paper

For paper handling and printable area specifications, refer to “Product Information/Specifications.”

Always use paper that conforms to the product’s specifications. Refer to “Product Information/Specifications.”

Most 20 lb Z-fold banner-type paper will produce good results for your banner printing needs. However, HP Premium Inkjet Banner Paper, will produce excellent printing results for all your banner printing projects.

Before you purchase large quantities of a certain type of paper, print a few sheets to determine if it provides acceptable quality printing.

Be sure that your paper does not have tears, dust, wrinkles, or curled or bent edges.
