Print weatherproof maps and outdoor signs
You can use the HP Color LaserJet CM6049f to print durable, waterproof maps, signs, or menus by
using HP Tough Paper. HP Tough Paper is a waterproof, tear-proof, satin finish paper that retains rich,
vibrant print color and clarity even when exposed to heavy usage or weather. This avoids the expensive
and time-consuming laminating that is required with plain papers. To maximize the quality of this output
you must do the following:
● Choose the appropriate paper
● Configure the paper tray correctly
● Choose the correct settings in the print driver
