General guidelines for selecting paper
Review the following guidelines when loading paper in a tray:
• 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 is designed for use in inkjet printers or use multipurpose paper.
• Use paper that is not too rough. Using smoother paper generally results in better print quality.
NOTE: Based on independent third-party testing using a range of plain papers, HP recommends using papers
with ColorLok Technology with this product for best printing results.
ColorLok is now an industry standard, and paper with this technology is available from a wide variety of
paper manufacturers worldwide. Just look for the ColorLok logo on the packaging. For information on
HP-branded papers with ColorLok, go to hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press_kits/2011/ColorLokTechnology
Most general office printing is done on 20 lb (75 g/m
2
) multipurpose paper in North America and 80 g/m
2
multipurpose paper in Europe and other parts of the world, which produces excellent results. When printing on
multipurpose paper, you can use the default “Plain” or “Any Type” selection on the control panel or the default
“Unspecified” type selection in the software driver. For exceptional results, choose paper carefully.
For example, in most cases 20 lb ColorLok branded paper costs about the same as non-ColorLok media but
produces bolder blacks and more vivid colors, drying up to three times faster—and there’s no need to specify the
paper type.
If you print pages with heavy ink coverage—such as dark PowerPoint backgrounds, vivid graphics, or
photographs—consider using paper with ColorLok Technology, heavier paper, glossy paper, or photo paper. These
papers can deliver stunning print output. Be sure to select the proper paper type when using special papers. (See
“Optimizing your printed output” for instructions.)
It is also important to know what paper to avoid. LaserJet papers are designed for fusing dry toner onto the paper.
This design keeps wet ink on top of the surface of the LaserJet paper and can create a wet, smeared output when
used in these products.
NOTE: Avoid using all LaserJet Glossy Paper in this product.
