Papers to avoid

Using paper that is too thin or too thick, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that
stretches easily can cause paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does not
accept ink can cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.

Papers to avoid for all print and copy jobs

Any size paper other than those listed in the technical specifications. For more
information, see

Highly textured stock, such as linen. It might not print evenly, and the ink can bleed
into these papers.

Extremely smooth, shiny, or coated papers not specifically designed for the HP All-
in-One. They can jam the HP All-in-One or repel the ink.

Multi-part forms, such as duplicate and triplicate forms. They can wrinkle or get stuck,
and the ink is more likely to smear.

Envelopes with clasps or windows. They can get stuck in the rollers and cause paper
jams.

Banner paper.

Additional papers to avoid when copying

Transparency film other than HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film or HP Premium
