Choosing Media
Your printer supports several types of media. Choosing the best media type for your
needs is an essential step in ensuring good image quality. For best printing results,
use only genuine Hewlett-Packard media, whose reliability and performance have
been developed and thoroughly tested. All HP printing components (printer, ink
system, and media) have been designed to work together to give trouble-free
performance and optimal image quality.
For detailed information on Hewlett-Packard media, see page 3-4, Supported Media
Types, and the HP DesignJet Papers and Films catalog supplied with the printer.
HP has tested some media products developed by a non-HP manufacturer. These
tested products are approved by HP as compatible with this printer.
Some non-endorsed media products are listed in the Media Guide for the HP
DesignJet CP Printers provided with your printer. HP has not tested these media
products to ensure their performance or quality.
If you choose to print on a non-endorsed media it is recommended that you perform
the Media Test Print see page 9-7, Media Test Print.
CAUTION Use of non-endorsed coated papers when printing with high ink volume may
saturate the coated paper and could result in serious printhead damage.
CAUTION For the Outdoor Durability Warranty, with the Ink System UV you must
always print on the compatible 3M Opaque Vinyl media. Also you must use 3M
Overlaminate film to maintain the print’s luster, depth and quality.
