Papers to avoid

Using paper that is too thin, 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 does not recommend printing to the following papers:

●

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 your

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 also more likely to smear.

●

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

paper jams.

HP does not recommend copying to the following papers:

●

Any size paper other than those listed in

Technical information

●

Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with

HP inkjet devices).

●

Envelopes.
