Paper Choices When Copying

The HP Color Copier is designed to copy onto a variety of paper types and weights. Be sure that all paper is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges.

For best results, use HP papers.

‹HP Premium InkJet papers ensure the maximum color brilliance.

‹HP Bright White Inkjet Paper delivers high-contrast colors and sharp text. It is opaque enough for two-sided color printing, with no show-through. It is ideal for newsletters, reports, proposals, and flyers.

‹HP Premium Transparency Film is designed to make your color presentations vivid and even more impressive. This film is easy to use and easy to handle and dries quickly without smudging.

‹HP Premium Heavyweight Inkjet paper is matte-coated on both sides for double-sided copying. It is the perfect choice for near- photographic reproductions and business graphics for report covers, special presentations, brochures, mailers, and calendars.
