I’m trying to find out if I can print on clear watercolor paper for an art project using my HP envy

[FlaVaRach]

I’m trying to find out if my HPNV 4520 Printer will allow me to use transparent watercolor paper if I were to feed one piece of paper in at a time without it jamming and ruining my printer. I’m working on an art project using mixed media as a medium, and I have done a lot of Experimenting, but I don’t want to ruin my printer or get it jammed because it’s A very reliable resource I use for my creative spirit that I like to express through mixed media and art. Please help or lead me to a forum that may answer my questions & I’d sure Appreciate i!

Kindly;

Welcome to the HP English Community --

This printer was never intended to support transparent paper of any type.

The paper might not ruin the printer but it is not supported --

Were it mine to to, I'd not try it.

That said, not my printer.
