HP Envy 7640 & HP Vivid Photo Paper 4x6
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an HP Envy 7640 and have purchased several different types of 4x6 photo paper but most of them just come out blurred. One of them is HP 4x6 Matte Vivid Photo CG465A borderless.  I would think any HP paper would work in an HP printer.  How do I find the right paper for my printer?
