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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great DIY shirts!, November 12, 2006

By 

Gene Cloner (St Louis) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HP Iron-on Transfers for Color Fabrics (6 transfer Sheets, 8.5 x 11 Inches) (Office Product)

These are wonderful! You just print anything you want to transfer and then iron them on. You have your custom shirt under 10 minutes!! The only drawback is that they transfer together with the white background unlike the ones for white fabric (So, remember *not* to flip your image when you print!). So you need to trim the print out carefully not leaving a border. Similarly, if you want to print text, you may want to print them in a backgrund box. Using it is super-easy. Just make sure you are using a 100% cotton fabric, that's all.

Note: All you people with transfer problems, do make sure you strip the backing off after printing and use just the transfer and the 'cover' sheet for iron on!

This review is from: HP Iron-on Transfers for Color Fabrics (6 transfer Sheets, 8.5 x 11 Inches) (Office Product)

These are awesome. I was skeptical about them because we all know how iron-on stuff usually goes... But I used a inkjet printer and printed off a graphic and it ironed on perfectly, even better than most real t-shirts. Immediately I came up with many t-shirts I wanted to make because they looked very high quality like a company made them.. highly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars waste of time and money!!, November 7, 2006

By 

Eena "mom of 3 monsters" (South Kakalaki) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HP Iron-on Transfers for Color Fabrics (6 transfer Sheets, 8.5 x 11 Inches) (Office Product)

first of all, it took FOREVER to get the trsfers to stick to the t-shirts, then, they only give you one of those papers to go between each transfer and the iron which meant that once each one started getting sticky, I had no choice but to keep using it therefore RUINING the shirts. Maybe it was just user error, but this isn't the first time I've done T-shirt trasnfers, yet only two out of the included 6 actually came out right. Avery trasfers are far easier to use (I just wish they didn't leave the tea-stain effect). All in all, these have proven to be hit or miss with me, and they're too pricey to be going through trial and error.
