Understand paper use
HP Officejet inks for business are specifically developed for use with HP printheads. Unique ink formulations
help extend the life of the printheads and enhance reliability. When used with ColorLok® paper, these inks
provide laser-like color output.
This product supports a variety of paper and other print media. Paper or print media that does not meet the
following guidelines might cause poor print quality, increased jams, and premature wear on the product.
It is possible for paper to meet all of these guidelines and still not produce satisfactory results. This might be
the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and/or humidity levels, or other variables over
which Hewlett-Packard has no control.
CAUTION: Using paper or print media that does not meet Hewlett-Packard's specifications might cause
problems for the product, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or
service agreements.
●
For best results, use only HP-brand paper and print media designed for inkjet printers or multiuse.
●
Use paper or print media made for inkjet printers.
●
Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of other brands of media because HP cannot
control their quality.
NOTE: Based on HP internal testing using a range of plain papers, HP highly recommends using papers with
the ColorLok® logo for this product. For details, go to
www.hp.com/go/printpermanence.
Use the following guidelines to obtain satisfactory results when using special paper or print media. Set the
paper type and size in the printer driver to obtain the best results.
Media typeDoDo not
Envelopes
Labels
Letterhead or preprinted forms
●
Store envelopes flat.
●
Use envelopes where the seam
extends all the way to the corner of
the envelope.
●
Use only labels that have no exposed
backing between them.
●
Use labels that lie flat.
●
Use only full sheets of labels.
●
Use only letterhead or forms
approved for use in inkjet printers.
●
Do not use envelopes that are
wrinkled, nicked, stuck together, or
otherwise damaged.
●
Do not use envelopes that have
clasps, snaps, windows, or coated
linings.
●
Do not use labels that have wrinkles
or bubbles, or are damaged.
●
Do not print partial sheets of labels.
●
Do not use raised or metallic
letterhead.
12Chapter 2 Paper traysENWW
Media typeDoDo not
Heavy paper
Glossy or coated paper
●
Use only heavy paper that is
approved for use in inkjet printers
and meets the weight specifications
for this product.
●
Use only glossy or coated paper that
is approved for use in inkjet printers.
●
Print on the correct side of this type
of paper.
●
Do not attempt to duplex print on
this type of paper.
●
Do not use paper that is heavier than
the recommended media
specification for this product unless it
is HP paper that has been approved
for use in this product.
●
Do not use glossy or coated paper
designed for use in laser products.
Using laser printer glossy media can
result in ink puddling on the page and
covering the internal parts of the
product.
●
Printing on the incorrect side of this
type of paper can lead to puddling
and product contamination from
excess ink.
●
Duplex printing on this type of paper
can lead to smearing and product
contamination.
