APER

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 49. Use 20–24-pound or 75–90 gsm plain paper for multipurpose,

everyday use.

Brightness.

Some papers are whiter than others and produce sharper,

more vibrant colors. Use HP Deluxe Photo Paper for documents with photo-

graphs; use white 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.

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

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