Media Choice Roll Media Sheet Media Ink System Ink Cartridges Printheads Media & Ink Introduction Front Panel OtherPrinter OptionsIndex Solutions Choosing Paper or Other MediaFor best printing results, use only genuine Hewlett-Packard paper or other type of media, whose reliability and performance have been developed and thoroughly tested. All Hewlett-Packard printing components (printer, ink system, and paper/other media) have been designed to work together to give trouble-free performance and optimal image quality. For detailed information on Hewlett-Packard paper, see Paper Types . You should also take note of some important points about paper and other types of media: 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 Media Type and Print Quality Selection . Whenever you load a roll or a sheet, the printers front-panel display prompts you to specify the paper type you are loading. It is absolutely essential to specify this correctly for good image 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 printers 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 Media Type and Print Quality Selection .
