Choosing paperFor best printing results, use only genuine Hewlett-Packard papers, whose reliability and performance have been developed and thoroughly tested. All Hewlett-Packard printing components (printer, ink system and paper) have been designed to work together to give trouble-free performance and optimal print quality. For detailed information on Hewlett-Packard paper, see Paper types . You should also take note of some important points about paper: • This printer supports many types of paper. However, the quality of some images may be reduced if you do not use the correct paper for your application. For example, images with large regions of intense color, where many ink drops are needed to fully saturate the color, will not print well on HP Bright White InkJet Paper. On HP Coated paper , the same images might cause the paper to wrinkle and then come into contact with the printheads, smearing your print and risking damage to the printhead. See Combinations of paper type and print quality selection . • Whenever you load a roll or a sheet, the printer’s front-panel display prompts you to specify the paper type you are loading. It is absolutely essential to specify this correctly for good print quality. The Physical characteristics of paper types table gives you all the information you need. If paper is already loaded and you are unsure which paper type was specified, go to the Paper Menu and press Enter; see Obtaining roll or sheet paper information . • Make sure the appropriate print -quality setting (Best, Normal or Fast ) is selected. You can set the print quality either from your software or from the printer’s front panel (software driver settings override any print- quality settings made on the front panel). The combination of paper type and print-quality settings tells the printer how to place the ink on the paper—for example, the ink density, dithering method, and number of passes of the printheads. For more details, see Combinations of paper type and print quality selection . • Included with this printer is the Hewlett-Packard Printing Materials catalog which gives ordering details for Hewlett-Packard paper supplies.
