recommended papers
If you want the best print quality, we recommend HP Papers. 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 be filled in completely. For more information about HP Papers, go to our website at:

The following table provides guidelines for loading certain types of paper and transparency film. For best results, adjust the paper type each time you change paper types and paper sizes. For more information, see set the paper type on page 17.

HP Papers | • HP Premium Paper: Locate the gray arrow on the |
| nonprinting side of the paper, and then insert paper |
| with the arrow side facing up. |
| • HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film: Insert the film |
| so that the white transparency strip (with arrows and |
| the HP logo) is on top and is going into the input |
| tray first. |

| Paper, or HP Textured Greeting Cards: insert a small |
