Recommended papers for printing and copying

If you want the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers that are specifically designed for the type of project you are printing. If you are printing photos, for example, load HP Premium or HP Premium Plus photo paper in the input tray.

The following is a list of HP papers you can use for copying and printing. Depending on your country/region, some of these papers might not be available.

NOTE: To achieve a borderless print, you must use 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) paper

with tab. The HP All-in-One prints to the edge of three sides of the paper. When you remove the tab from the fourth side, you have a borderless print.

HP Premium Plus Photo Paper

HP Premium Plus Photo Papers are the best HP photo papers, with image quality and fade resistance superior to store-processed photos. They are ideal for printing your highresolution images for framing or including in a photo album. These papers are available in several sizes, including 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) (with or without tabs), A4, and 8.5 x 11 inch sizes for printing or copying photos from the product.

Load originals and load paper

HP Premium Photo Paper

HP Premium Photo Papers are high-quality, glossy-finish or soft gloss-finish photo papers. They look and feel like store-processed photos and can be mounted under glass or in an album. These papers are available in several sizes, including 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) (with or without tabs), A4, and 8.5 x 11 inch sizes for printing or copying photos from the product.

HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film

HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film make your color presentations vivid and even more impressive. This film is easy to use and handle and dries quickly without smudging.

HP Premium Inkjet Paper

HP Bright White Inkjet Paper

HP Bright White Inkjet Paper delivers high-contrast colors and sharp text. It is opaque enough for two-sided color usage with no show-through, which makes it ideal for newsletters, reports, and flyers.

22 Load originals and load paper

HP All-in-One Paper or HP Printing Paper

• HP All-in-One Paper is specifically designed for HP All-in-One products. It has an

extra bright blue-white shade that produces sharper text and richer colors than ordinary multifunction papers.

• HP Printing Paper is a high-quality multifunction paper. It produces documents that

look and feel more substantial than documents printed on standard multipurpose or copy paper.

To order HP papers and other supplies, go to choose your country/region, follow the prompts to select your product, and then click one of the shopping links on the page.

NOTE: At this time, some portions of the HP Web site are available in English only.

Recommended papers for printing only

Certain papers are supported only when you start the print job from your computer. The following list provides information about these papers.

If you want the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers. Using paper that is too thin or too thick, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that stretches easily can cause paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does not accept ink can cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.

Depending on your country/region, some of these papers might not be available.

HP Iron-On Transfers

HP Iron-On Transfers (for color fabrics or for light or white fabrics) are the ideal solution for creating custom T-shirts from your digital photos.

HP Premium Presentation Paper

HP Premium Presentation Paper gives your presentation a quality look and feel.

To order HP papers and other supplies, go to choose your country/region, follow the prompts to select your product, and then click one of the shopping links on the page.

NOTE: At this time, some portions of the HP Web site are available in English only.

Papers to avoid

Using paper that is too thin or too thick, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that stretches easily can cause paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does not accept ink can cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.

NOTE: For a complete list of supported media sizes, see the printer software.

Papers to avoid for all print and copy jobs

• Any size paper other than those listed in the printer software.

• Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with HP inkjet

devices).

• Highly textured stock, such as linen. It might not print evenly, and the ink can bleed

into these papers.

• Extremely smooth, shiny, or coated papers not specifically designed for the HP All-

in-One. They can jam the HP All-in-One or repel the ink.

• Multi-part forms, such as duplicate and triplicate forms. They can wrinkle or get stuck,

and the ink is more likely to smear.

• Envelopes with clasps or windows. They can get stuck in the rollers and cause paper

jams.

• Banner paper.

Additional papers to avoid when copying

• Envelopes.

• Transparency film other than HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film or HP Premium

Plus Inkjet Transparency Film.

• Iron-On Transfers.

• Greeting card paper.

24 Load originals and load paper

This section describes the procedure for loading different types and sizes of paper into the HP All-in-One for your copies or printouts.

TIP: To help prevent rips, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges, store all paper flat in

a resealable bag. If the paper is not stored properly, extreme changes in temperature and humidity might result in curled paper that does not work well in the HP All-in-One.

This section contains the following topics:

•

Load full-size paper Load 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper

• Load index cards

• Load envelopes

• Load other types of paper

•

You can load many types of letter or A4 paper into the input tray of the HP All-in-One.

To load full-size paper

1. Flip the tray extender up toward you.

NOTE: When you use legal-size paper, leave the tray extender closed.

2. Slide the paper-width guide to its outermost position.
