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, as listed on page 57.
Use 20–24-pound or 75–90 g/m2 plain paper for multipurpose, everyday use.

Brightness. Some papers are whiter than others and produce sharper, more vibrant
colors. Use HP Deluxe Photo Paper or HP Premium Photo Paper for documents with
photographs; use HP Bright White Inkjet Paper or HP Premium Inkjet Paper for
documents with any other pictures.

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. HP Photo Paper and HP Premium Heavyweight Inkjet Paper are
ideal for two-sided projects.

width = 3 to 8.5 inches (77 to 215 mm)

length = 3 to 14 inches (77 to 356 mm)
