Recommended papers for printing and copying

If you want the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers that are specifically designed for the type of project you are printing. If you are printing photos, for example, use glossy or matte photo paper. If you are printing a brochure or presentation, use a type of paper specifically designed for that purpose.

Papers to avoid

Using paper that is too thin, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that stretches easily can cause paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does not accept ink can cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.

Depending on your country/region, some of these papers might not be available.

HP does not recommend printing to the following papers:

●Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with HP inkjet devices).

●Highly textured stock, such as linen. It might not print evenly, and the ink can bleed into these papers.

●Extremely smooth, shiny, or coated papers not specifically designed for your HP All-in-One. They can jam the HP All-in-One or repel the ink.

●Multi-part forms, such as duplicate and triplicate forms. They can wrinkle or get stuck, and the ink is also more likely to smear.

●Envelopes with clasps or windows. They can get stuck in the rollers and cause paper jams.

HP does not recommend copying to the following papers:

●Any size paper other than those listed in Technical information.

●Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with HP inkjet devices).

●Envelopes.

●Transparency film other than HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film or HP Premium Plus Inkjet Transparency Film.

●Multiple-part forms or label stock.
