Paper Recommendations

The HP 2000C printer works well with most plain photocopy paper, postcards, index cards, transparencies, envelopes, and labels, and will print on 100% recycled papers that comply with DIN 19 309. For best results, use HP Premium and Deluxe papers and transparencies.

Paper Recommendations

Your HP 2000C printer is designed to work well on most common office paper types and with quality 25% cotton bond paper. Because your printer uses ink to produce an image, paper that accepts ink well produces the best results.

It is best to test a variety of paper types before buying large quantities. Find a paper type that works well and is easy to purchase. HP Premium papers are designed for the best-quality results.

Tips for Selecting Paper

Always use paper that conforms with those listed under “Recommended Media Weight and Sizes,” near the end of the Printer Specifications section of this User’s Guide.

Test a sample of a particular paper to ensure that it is compatible with the printer and produces acceptable print quality before purchasing large quantities.

Do not use damaged, curled, or wrinkled media. Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations.

Do not use paper that is too thin, has a slick texture, or “stretches” easily. It can feed improperly through the printer’s paper path.

Do not use multiple-part forms.

Avoid using paper that is heavily textured or embossed. It often does not accept ink well and can cause poorly filled graphics or text.
