Beyond the Basics

Getting the Right 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.

Brightness.

Some papers are whiter than others and produce

sharper, more vibrant colors. For photographs, you’ll want to use HP
Premium Plus Photo Paper or HP Premium Photo Paper for the best
results. For projects that use other colored images, HP Bright White
Inkjet or HP Premium Inkjet paper work well.

For a complete list of available HP media, see “Paper and Other
Media” on page 89.

For information on supported paper weights and sizes, see “Media
Weight” and “Media Size”
on page 82.

Printing on Different Types of
Paper and Media

Your printer is designed to encompass so many different types of
print media that you’re practically set up as a small print shop. This
chapter explains how to use the different printing materials.

the appropriate section for your operating system in this guide:

• Windows 95, 98, 2000 or NT 4.0 users— see “How to Print in

Windows 95, 98, 2000 and NT 4.0” on page7.
