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.

• This thick photo paper features an instant-dry finish for easy handling without smudging. It resists water,
smears, fingerprints, and humidity. Your prints have a look and feel comparable to a store-processed photo. It
is available in several sizes, including A4, 8.5 x 11 inch, 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) (with or without tabs), 13 x
18 cm (5 x 7 inch), and two finishes - glossy or soft gloss (satin matte). It is acid-free for longer lasting
documents.
