Understand paper use
HP Officejet inks for business are specifically developed for use with HP printheads. Unique ink
formulations help extend the life of the printheads and enhance reliability. When used with ColorLok®
paper, these inks provide laser-like color output that dries quickly and is ready for distribution.
This product supports a variety of paper and other print media. Paper or print media that does not meet
the following guidelines might cause poor print quality, increased jams, and premature wear on the
product.
It is possible for paper to meet all of these guidelines and still not produce satisfactory results. This
might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and/or humidity levels, or other
variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.
CAUTION: Using paper or print media that does not meet Hewlett-Packard's specifications might
cause problems for the product, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard

● Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of other brands of media because HP
