Paper Pointer Get the right paper
Use Hewlett-Packard paper
when you want the most
vivid color and the sharpest
text; it’s an especially good
investment when you plan
to make copies. Look for
it at any office or computer
supply store, or call HP
Direct. See page 62 for the
phone number nearest you.
For something beyond pure
white, explore local office
supply and paper stores.
Or browse computer
magazines for the names
of companies that offer
paper by mail. Most mail
order companies sell a
sampler kit of every paper
they stock to give you a
library of papers that fit
most any need. The best paper for
photographs
Use HP Photo Paper or
HP Premium Photo Paper
for the best-looking printed
photographs.
How to choose paper
Most plain photocopy paper works fine in your printer, particularly paper that is
marked for use in inkjet printers. To get the best results, use one of the Hewlett-
Packard papers, which were developed especially for HP inks and your printer.
What to consider:
● Size.... You can use any size paper that fits easily within the paper adjusters of
the printer.
● Weight.... You can choose from a wide range of paper weights. Use 20-24 lb or
75-90 g/m
2
plain paper for multipurpose, everyday use.
● Brightness.... Some papers are whiter than others and produce sharper, more
vibrant colors. Use HP Photo Paper or HP Premium Photo Paper for printing
photographs and documents with photographs; use white paper, such as HP
Bright White Inkjet Paper for everyday color printing.
● Surface smoothness.... The smoothness of the paper affects how crisp the
printing looks on the paper. Paper with a high cotton content (25% to 100%)
tends to offer greater surface smoothness. Glossy, coated paper works well for
pictures and charts (where you want crisp lines with intense, high-quality
colors) and for photocopying.
● Opacity.... Opacity refers to the degree to which printing on one side of the
paper shows through to the other side. Use paper high in opacity (or thicker
paper) for two-sided printing.
