The printer is designed to work well with most types of oice paper. It is best to test a variety of print paper
types before buying large quantities. Use HP paper for optimum print quality. Visit the HP website at
www.hp.com for more information about HP paper.
HP recommends plain papers with the ColorLok logo for printing everyday documents. All
papers with the ColorLok logo are independently tested to meet high standards of
reliability and print quality, and produce documents with crisp, vivid color, bolder blacks,
and that dry faster than ordinary plain papers. Look for papers with the ColorLok logo in
a variety of weights and sizes from major paper manufacturers.
