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.

Best Paper for Any Job

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.

Choose the right size
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.

Multipurpose Printing
  • HP Multipurpose Paper for Injet Printers
    • Bright finish and smooth surface for sharp, professional-looking results.

  • HP LaserJet Paper
    • Bright finish
    • Thicker than standard paper
    • High opacity prevents show-through
    • Usage Ideas: General office documents, especially documents that combine text with spot colors.

When you print on HP photo paper, you get professional, lab-quality photo prints every time. Whether sharing snapshots of a recent gathering with friends, displaying artistic photos in your home, or reprinting a treasured photo heirloom, HP has the photo paper you need for crisp, high-quality photo prints that last.

Quality paper January 13, 2007
This is the thickest of the hp paper, and honestly the best I've ever seen used for photos. I would highly recommend it for use in picture frames. I would not recommend using it for regular photo albums, because of cost. PLus the fact that regular photos are better glossy. I used this paper with my HP photosmart 8750, and got the museum photo quality it suggest. Hope I helped your decision.

Excellent heavyweight paper. It has just the right amount of satin matte finish to diffuse reflections. On my HP Photosmart printer it gives me fantastic images, with much better color rendition and contrast than regular warehouse brand gloss paper. I now use this for all my prints that I like to frame.

One of the nice things about this paper is the coating on the back side of the paper that prevents papers from sticking together when stacked.

One caution - if you use pigment based inkjet printers, this paper is not for you. Use this for all dye based inkjet printers, which a vast majority are. In the HP Photosmart range, as of this writing, only the Pro B9180 and Pro B8850 are pigment based inkjet printers.

the best paper ever August 31, 2008
By Unnamed
Amazon Verified Purchase
This paper can be hard to find. It's just the best of the best, even though the cost is high. I prefer it to glossy paper for any use. I can't stand glossy paper. All it does is reflect the light. Give me the matte stuff any day. I'm ordering quite a bit of this paper, in case it disappears again.

Excellent all around 8.5x11 photo paper!
In terms of the finish on the paper, i'd give it a 4 out of 5. I think that it's the perfect amount of gloss, as full glossy on 8.5x11 is a bit much i think. Read more
