Select The Best Paper For Any Job

Whether for professional, creative, or everyday use, HP helps take the guesswork out of finding the perfect inkjet or LaserJet paper for any project.

Why HP Paper Is Important

Not all papers are created equal. Designed with each element of the HP printing process in mind, HP papers, toners, and inks are specially engineered to work together to deliver quality, reliable printing, as well as fade resistance, bolder blacks and more vibrant colors.

Because HP papers are specifically formulated to work with HP printers, it's important to select the right HP paper for every job to ensure a crisp, clean finished product.

Key HP Paper Features

Check the label on HP paper packaging to find this key information:

Finish

Consider the look you want to achieve, and choose a finish that fits your needs:

• Glossy: For color images that really pop, try printing on a paper with a glossy finish.
• Matte: If printing a document with text, such as a term paper or resume, a matte finish can make your text easier to read.
• Satin: A satin finish will give your photos a smooth, professional touch.

Brightness

The brightness of your paper refers to the amount of light reflected from the surface of the paper, and is typically measured on a scale from 1 to 100. Print on brighter paper, such as HP Bright White Inkjet Paper, for higher contrast, crisper text, and a clean background for more vivid images.

Weight

Thickness (measured in millimeters) and weight (measured in pounds), refer to the sturdiness and crease-resistance of your paper. HP paper comes in a variety of different weights.

You may try using a heavier paper for artwork or pieces that will be frequently handled, like cards or brochures. Heavier paper can also help formal, more substantial printed pieces, such as resumes and invitations, stand out from the crowd.

Size

HP offers many kinds of paper in a variety of sizes, from standard 8.5" x 11" paper, to 4" x 6" and 5" x 7" photo paper, to specialty sizes such as wide format and legal paper.

Not all printers can handle all kinds of paper, so before stocking up, check your printer manual for paper size and weight capabilities.

Choose Paper Suited To Specific Tasks

Whether printing driving directions, invoices, snapshots for the fridge, or formal wedding invitations, HP has the paper you need to get the job done.

Multipurpose Printing

For basic home and office printing, a simple, multipurpose paper is your best bet. Many HP multipurpose papers now feature ColorLok technology for more vibrant colors, bolder blacks, and fewer smears. Engineered with special additives that chemically react with inkjet inks, ColorLok paper absorbs ink deeper into the paper while holding the pigment closer to the surface, delivering impeccable print quality every time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy, Fast, and Long Lasting, October 9, 2002

By 

Roberto Ponticelli (Caracas, Dtto. Federal Venezuela) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HP Iron-On Transfers, 8.5 x 11 Inch, 12 Pack (Office Product)

Well, I have used this product with more than 100 t-shirt and I have no complains. After my 3 first big trials... a really mess... It is easy to transfer (once you get used with the process), it is a fast process, and the image stay for a long time on the fabric. Of course, the transfer will not last forever, but after 100+ washing cycles, all of my t-shirt still are in PERFECT condition. I use soft soap, and a soft washing machine cycle. The most important words here, are: VERY high temp iron (mine is one with 1400 watts), very VERY high pressure when ironing (I sweat a lot in this process) and the fabric must be as flat and firm as possible (porous fabrics are not the best, as well as stretching ones like cotton-lycra are not a good option because when stretching, the image breaks).
One last note: it is for white fabric. If you try it over other color, the image's colors will be different from intended. If the fabic is dark colored, you will not see anything after trasferring. This is because the WHITE color of the image after ironing comes from the fabric, so if within the image are white and shiny teeth, and the fabric is dark, the teeth will be black, as well as all the other light colors of the images.

5.0 out of 5 stars The quality is really better!, June 15, 2004

By 

"momotarosan" (Rowland Heights, California United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HP Iron-On Transfers, 8.5 x 11 Inch, 12 Pack (Office Product)

I have tried both the HP paper and the Office Depot paper, and the HP paper sure has better quality.

Both of them were done with the same steps, and it ends up that Office Depot one started to come off after 1st or 2nd wash, while the HP one is still on there without a scratch.

Also, HP paper fits more to the fabric, which it will be harder to see it was an "iron-on", but the Office Depot one was very obvious.

I will give two thumbs up for the HP paper!

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't even bother..., January 31, 2004

By 

dhrachth - See all my reviews

This review is from: HP Iron-On Transfers, 8.5 x 11 Inch, 12 Pack (Office Product)

They're easy to use & they look great right up until you wash them the first time. Light t-shirt transfers crack & peel something awful, I've never known one to last more than one wearing.

If you're going to make a t-shirt, get the kind that says DARK t-shirt transfers. I've got a closet full of Office Depot & Avery brand Dark t-shirt transfers (many transfered onto white shirts) that look great and I wear them every weekend. It costs a little more, but they actually work, making it well worth the money.
