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 Best out there, November 15, 2003

This review is from: HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, High Gloss (50 Sheets, 8.5 x 11 Inches) (Office Product)

I have tried many different kinds of photo paper and I can say with confidence this is by far the best. Many other kinds of photo paper stick together when you put more than two sheets in your printer at a time, which ends up wasting a lot of paper and time. This HP paper has no such problem. Other papers feel very thin and some are even slightly see through; with this paper it is as thick if not thicker than developed photos! I use an HP D145 and with this paper my photos come out of the printer looking like they were just developed. Although it is slightly more expensive than others, this photo paper is well worth it; the results you get are just amazing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works on Canon printers too, August 17, 2005

This review is from: HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, High Gloss (50 Sheets, 8.5 x 11 Inches) (Office Product)

I had about 25 sheets of this paper left over when my HP printer died. No big loss as far as I'm concerned. It only lasted about a year with light usage and was well out of the 90 day warranty period.

Anyway, I wasn't about to throw away a half package of good photo paper. Quite simply, it works great in my Canon Pixma 3000 and the prints are nicer than those I was getting from the HP.

So much for blindly sticking with the printer manufacturers paper.

This review is from: HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, High Gloss (50 Sheets, 8.5 x 11 Inches) (Office Product)

I've tried many different brands of photo paper, but this is by far the best. I have a HP 7550 Photo printer and with this paper the photos turn out just like store-developed ones. The weight of paper is thicker than any other paper I've tried and the colors come out the truest. It is more expensive than other brands, but I think it is worth the money.
