NOTE: For glossy paper, it is important to use a glossy paper type, as matte black ink does not print
well on glossy paper.
Transparent or translucent paper
If your paper is a transparent film (for example, a transparency), select paper type Film > Transparent/
Clear film.
If your paper is a translucent paper (for example, technical paper), select paper type Technical
paper > Natural Tracing Paper, Vellum or Translucent bond.
Glossy paper
If your paper is a photo paper, use the Photo Paper category. For glossy or high-gloss paper select
paper type Photo Gloss Paper. For Semi-gloss, Satin, Pearl or Luster finishes, select paper type Semi-
gloss/Satin Paper.
To increase gamut on photo paper, select paper type HP Universal High-Gloss Photo Paper or HP
Universal Semi-Gloss Photo Paper, depending on the finish.
Matte Paper
Your paper type selection for matte paper depends on the paper’s ink absorption capacity. To select a
paper category and type, first identify if your paper is general purpose or photographic. Then select the
recommended paper types.
General-purpose paper
●
For natural tracing papers, select paper type Natural Tracing Paper < 65 g/m2 or Natural Tracing
Paper > 65 g/m2, depending on the weight of the paper.
●
For thin papers (< 90 g/m
2
) uncoated papers (for example plain paper or bright white paper) select
paper type Bond and Coated Paper > Plain Paper.
●
For light coated papers (< 110 g/m
2
), select paper type Bond and Coated Paper > HP Coated
Paper.
●
For heavyweight coated papers (< 200 g/m
2
), select paper type Bond and Coated Paper >
Heavyweight Coated Paper.
●
For cockle-free very thick coated papers (> 200 g/m
2
), select paper type Bond and Coated
Paper > Super Heavyweight Coated Paper.
Photographic paper
For photographic paper, select paper type Photo Paper > Photo Matte Paper.
Black ink is easily removed when touched
This happens when your paper is incompatible with matte black ink. To use non-matte black ink, select
paper type Photo Paper > Photo Gloss Paper.
After printing, the paper has wrinkles or there is too much ink
This happens when too much ink is used. To use less ink, select a thinner category. Matte paper
categories from thinnest to thickest are:
●
Plain Paper
●
Coated Paper
