Recommended papers for printing
If you want the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers that are specifically
designed for the type of project you are printing.
Depending on your country/region, some of these papers might not be available.
ColorLok
HP recommends plain papers with the ColorLok logo for printing and copying of
everyday documents. All papers with the ColorLok logo are independently tested to meet
high standards of reliability and print quality, and produce documents with crisp, vivid
color, bolder blacks, and dry faster than ordinary plain papers. Look for papers with the
ColorLok logo in a variety of weights and sizes from major paper manufacturers.
