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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Low Quality Paper, July 17, 2010

This review is from: HP Multipurpose Copy/Laser/Inkjet Paper, 96 Brightness, 20 lb, Letter Size (8.5 x 11), 500 Sheets (11200-0) (Office Product)

This paper is very thin and low quality, which surprised me based on what they are charging for it. This is the kind of paper that will jam in your printer and/or start pulling 5-6 pages at a time if your printer is even slightly warn. I work in IT and we would occasionally run into this cheap type of paper when someone doing the supply ordering was trying to save a buck. Paper this thin causes constant problems in printers, especially ones that get used a lot. I have a laser printer, and I can't even imagine trying to use this stuff in and inkjet.

The generic printer paper I get from my local computer store is better quality, for only $2.99. The $5.99 version is much better than this stuff. For $6.99 I really expected better quality paper. I cannot believe how thin and flimsy this paper is. It's almost as thin as lens cleaning paper. I only recommend it as a last resort.

It's hard to find a lot to say about paper. But as paper goes, this is good stuff. Clean, crisp and bright, just the right thickness. Perfect for all your printing and copying needs. Oh, and nicer-looking than the paper you steal from work. heh

This review is from: HP Multipurpose Copy/Laser/Inkjet Paper, 96 Brightness, 20 lb, Letter Size (8.5 x 11), 500 Sheets (11200-0) (Office Product)

I recently bought a new printer and I got a ream of this paper as a promotional item at the time I bought my printer. I am very impressed. In fact, this multipurpose 92 brightness paper by Hewlett Packard gives you something to sing about! I use this paper with my inkjet printers; and I can use it to make signs to tape to my front door indicating to delivery people which doorbell to ring!

The paper is not expensive for all that you get; and it almost never jams in my printer at home. Nevertheless, I always fan the paper to make sure that it doesn't jam. After I fan the paper to make sure two pieces of paper aren't stuck to each other, then I place it in my inkjet printer.

In addition, this paper can also be used in laser printers, copiers and plain paper fax machine. Each page is a clean cut 8 ½ inches by 11 inches. Great!

This paper never "goes stale," so stock up on it if you can catch a sale on it. Moreover, this is excellent paper that avoids ink from smearing as it is printed on the page. Great!

I feel terrible that some people have not had a good experience buying this paper on the Internet. I would recommend that you shop for this carefully.

Use it in good health!
