Check paper and the printing environment Complete the following steps to check the paper that you are using and the printer's physical environment. Step one: Use paper that meets HP specifications Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP specifications. Problems could include curled paper, light or faded printing, ink specks or smears, and misshapen characters. Follow these guidelines when selecting paper: ● Always use a paper type and weight that this printer supports. ● Use paper that is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, staples, and curled or bent edges. ● Use paper that has not been previously printed on. ● Use paper that does not contain metallic material, such as glitter. ● Use paper that is designed for HP PageWide printers. Do not use paper that is designed only for laser printers. ● Use paper that is not too rough. Using smoother paper generally results in better print quality. NOTE: For this printer, HP highly recommends using papers with the ColorLok® logo, based on HP internal testing using a range of plain papers. For details, go to: www.hp.com/go/printpermanence. Step two: Check the environment The environment can directly affect print quality and is a common cause for print-quality or paper-feeding issues. Try the following solutions: ● Move the printer away from drafty locations, such as open windows or doors, or air-conditioning vents. ● Make sure the printer is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of printer specifications. ● Do not place the printer in a confined space, such as a cabinet.

Check paper and the printing environment

Complete the following steps to check the paper that you are using and the printer’s physical environment.

Step one: Use paper that meets HP

speciﬁcations

Some print-quality problems arise from using paper that does not meet HP

speciﬁcations.

Problems could

include curled paper, light or faded printing, ink specks or smears, and misshapen characters. Follow these

guidelines when selecting paper:

●

Always use a paper type and weight that this printer supports.

●

Use paper that is of good quality and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids,

staples, and curled or bent edges.

●

Use paper that has not been previously printed on.

●

Use paper that does not contain metallic material, such as glitter.

●

Use paper that is designed for HP PageWide printers. Do not use paper that is designed only for laser

printers.

●

Use paper that is not too rough. Using smoother paper generally results in better print quality.

NOTE:

For this printer, HP highly recommends using papers with the ColorLok® logo, based on HP internal

testing using a range of plain papers. For details, go to:

www.hp.com/

go/printpermanence

Step two: Check the environment

The environment can directly

aﬀect

print quality and is a common cause for print-quality or paper-feeding

issues. Try the following solutions:

●

Move the printer away from drafty locations, such as open windows or doors, or air-conditioning vents.

●

Make sure the printer is not exposed to temperatures or humidity outside of printer

speciﬁcations.

●

Do not place the printer in a

conﬁned

space, such as a cabinet.
