One of the keys to getting great results with your ink jet printer is selecting the right paper. With paper that is too absorbent, the ink can bleed slightly, causing characters to blur. With paper that is not absorbent enough, the ink may take too long to dry and may smear easily.
The finish and thickness of the paper are also important. Avoid paper that has a rough finish or a slick, coated finish. Also, avoid paper that is too thick or too thin. See the paper specifications in the Appendix for more information.

To test a supply of paper, perform the self test using a single sheet from the package and check the results. Test both sides of the paper to determine which gives you the best quality printing. If the ink does not bleed or smear, the paper should be suitable for use with your printer.
Because the drying speed for the ink depends on the pattern being printed, the type of paper used, and the temperature and humidity, some smudging or streaking may occur under certain conditions. If the ink does not dry quickly enough, try removing sheets one at a time as they finish printing.
Note:
dInk jet printers are particularly sensitive to the condition of your paper. Keep unused paper in its original packaging material and store it in a cool, d y place.
Ll Use recycled paper under normal temperature and humidity conditions only. Poor quality paper may reduce print quality, as well as cause paper jams and other problems. If you encounter problems, switch to a higher grade qf paper.
