HP DeskJet and DeskWriter Printers Selecting Paper Tips

Selecting Paper Tips

Tips for Selecting and Using Paper

For paper handling and printable area specifications, refer to “Product Information/Specifications.”

Always use paper that conforms to the product’s specifications. Refer to “Product Information/Specifications.”

Most plain paper manufactured for photo-copying produces good results for most printing needs. However, cotton bond paper, HP Premium Inkjet Paper, and HP Premium Glossy Paper produce excellent printing results for special projects.

Before you purchase large quantities of a certain type of paper, print on both sides of a few sheets to determine if it provides acceptable quality printing on its "print side." (See "Determining the Print Side of Media.")

Be sure that your paper does not have tears, dust, wrinkles, or curled or bent edges.

Tips for Selecting and Using Envelopes

Always use envelopes that conform to the product’s Specifications. Refer to “Product Information/Specifications.”

Before you purchase large quantities of a certain type of envelope, first sample its ease of use with the printer to determine whether it's compatible.

Use high quality envelopes that are thin and sharply creased. Do not use envelopes that are shiny or embossed or that have

clasps or windows. Do not use envelopes with thick or crooked edges, or envelopes that

are damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped.

HP DeskJet and DeskWriter Printers Selecting Paper Tips

Tips for Selecting and Using Transparencies and other Media

Always use transparencies, index cards, postcards, and other media that conform to the product’s Specifications. Refer to “Product Information/Specifications.”

For best results when printing on transparencies, use HP Premium Transparency Film.

Do not use paper that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled. Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations. Do not use multiple-part forms. Do not use paper that is heavily textured or embossed.

Tips for Selecting and Using Labels

The following Hewlett-Packard printers support labels:

HP DeskJet 200/400 HP DeskJet 510 HP DeskJet 520 HP DeskJet 540 HP DeskJet 550C HP DeskJet 560C HP DeskJet 600 Series HP DeskJet 700 Series

While label support may not be recognized in some User’s Guides, the printers listed above can successfully be used to print labels if the following guidelines are followed:

HP DeskJet 800 Series HP DeskWriter 510 HP DeskWriter 520 HP DeskWriter 540 HP DeskWriter 550C HP DeskWriter 560C HP DeskWriter 600 Series

HP DeskJet and DeskWriter Printers Selecting Paper Tips

Caution

Failure to follow the suggestions below can permanently damage your printer.

The following are guidelines when using labels in HP DeskJet printers:

Use only Avery paper labels that are specifically designed for use with HP inkjet printers. These labels are less likely to peel when inside the printer.

Do not use plastic or clear labels. DeskJet inks are formulated for use with paper or specially treated plastic papers and will not dry properly when used with plastic or clear labels.

Do not use ANY label material which is damaged, folded, curled, or wrinkled in any fashion. These conditions are frequent causes of jams caused by labels peeling inside the printer. Labels that have peeled inside the printer are difficult to remove and may necessitate returning the printer to HP for service.

Do not use labels that are over two years old. Older label materials are more likely to peel inside the printer.

Do not print on partially used sheets of label material. The varying thickness’ of material passing over the print rollers can cause label jams or print skew.

Observe the following guidelines when storing label materials:

Always store label materials in the manufacturer’s packaging until ready for use. The manufacturer’s packaging protects the labels and adhesives from humidity extremes which could prematurely age the labels.

Always store label materials out of direct sunlight. Keep label materials flat in the original packaging to help prevent

premature aging, wrinkling or bending.

Tips for Selecting and Using Banner Paper

For paper handling and printable area specifications, refer to “Product Information/Specifications.”

Always use paper that conforms to the product’s specifications. Refer to “Product Information/Specifications.”

Most 20 lb. Z-fold banner-type paper will produce good results for your banner printing needs. However, HP Premium Inkjet Banner Paper, will produce excellent printing results for all your banner printing projects.

Before you purchase large quantities of a certain type of paper, print a few sheets to determine if it provides acceptable quality printing.

Be sure that your paper does not have tears, dust, wrinkles, or curled or bent edges.

HP DeskJet and DeskWriter Printers Selecting Paper Tips

Tips for Selecting and Using HP Photo Paper with the HP Photo Cartridge

Verify that the HP Photo Cartridge is intended for use in your printer. Refer to the “User’s Guide” for your printer.

Remove the black print cartridge and replace it with the HP Photo Cartridge. Refer to the “User’s Guide” for your printer for instructions.

Be certain that you have selected “Use HP Photo Cartridge” in the Page Setup box.

Use HP Photo Paper (loaded glossy-side down) in your printer’s IN tray, not HP Premium InkJet paper when you print photographs. Using HP Photo paper will ensure high-quality, fade-resistant images.

For paper handling and printable area specifications, refer to the “User’s Guide” for your printer.

Before you purchase large quantities of a certain type of paper, print a few sheets to determine if the paper provides acceptable quality printing.

Be sure that your paper does not have tears, dust, wrinkles, or is curled, or has bent edges.

For best results with the HP Photo paper/HP Photo cartridge combination, scan your photographs at 100 or 150 dpi. If you scan them at a higher dpi, you won’t improve the print quality, and your photographs will take longer to print.

Printing in Best mode yields the most vivid colors. (If the slower printing speed is acceptable.)

HP DeskJet and DeskWriter Printers Loading Paper Tips

Loading Paper Tips

General Tips for Loading Media Effectively

To obtain the best print quality and avoid getting media jammed in the paper feed rollers, always use paper and other media that conform to the product’s specifications. Refer to “Product Information/Specifications.”

Load only one media type at a time into the IN tray making sure the right edge of the media is aligned with the right edge of the IN tray.

Insert all paper, cards, envelopes, labels, transparencies and banner paper print-side-down into the IN tray of the printer. (See "Determining the Print Side of Media.”)

Never load more than the recommended amount of media into the IN tray at one time.

Always load index cards, postcards, and envelopes in portrait orientation (that is, where the paper is longer than wide when placed in the IN tray).

Always use print settings in the printer driver that match the media type, size, and orientation.

Before inserting a stack of media into the IN tray, always tap its edges on a flat surface to even it out.

HP DeskJet and DeskWriter Printers Loading Paper Tips

Determining the Print Side of Media

Insert all paper, cards, envelopes, labels, transparencies and banner paper print-side down into the IN tray of the printer. Here are some tips for loading media print side down:

For plain paper, load the side identified by the paper’s packaging as the print side face down.

For letterhead paper, load the letterhead side down and facing the back of the paper tray.

For HP Premium Inkjet Paper, load face down the side identified on the packaging as the print side with the corner arrow facing the back of the paper tray.

For HP Premium Glossy Paper, load the glossy side down. For index cards or postcards, load the side designed to be written

upon face down. For envelopes, load the side you address face down For labels, load the paper side down (the slick side up). For HP Premium Transparency Film, load the rough side down with

the sensing strip facing the back of the paper tray. For HP Premium Banner Paper, load face down the side identified

on the packaging as the print side with the corner arrow facing the back of the paper tray.

Using the Single-Sheet Feeder (HP 800 Series Printers only)

If your printer is equipped with a single-sheet feeder, you can feed a single sheet of paper or other media into the printer without unloading the IN tray. On some printers, the single-sheet feeder slides freely to the right and left to accommodate the width of the media you insert. On other printers the single-sheet feeder is fixed and does not slide.

Always use paper and other media that conform to the product’s specifications. Consult your User’s guide for additional information.
