Print weatherproof maps and outdoor signs
You can use the HP Color LaserJet CM6030 or HP Color LaserJet CM6040 to print durable, waterproof
maps, signs, or menus by using HP Tough Paper. HP Tough Paper is a waterproof, tear-proof, satin
finish paper that retains rich, vibrant print color and clarity even when exposed to heavy usage or
weather. This avoids the expensive and time-consuming laminating that is required with plain papers.
To maximize the quality of this output you must do the following:
●
Choose the appropriate paper
●
Configure the paper tray correctly
●
Choose the correct settings in the print driver
