Notes – Paper Types

Photo Paper might be supported to 250 gsm, or, if specified, to 280 or 300 gsm.

Supported photo paper types vary – Photo paper types, sizes, and weights are printer model dependent.

For example, HP Advanced Photo paper is 250 gsm.

Do not select Photo paper if you are actually using a different paper type.

Do not attempt to use 300 gsm photo paper in a printer that does not support paper in that weight class.

Index card paper is an ISO paper type.

On a printer that supports “card paper”, HP Card paper -- unless otherwise specified -- is defined as Card / Index paper and is generally supported to 200 gsm. 

If “card” paper is not listed in the Specifications, paper in this weight class might NOT be supported.

HP Brochure and HP Professional paper are typically the same weight.  Brochure paper comes in two print surfaces:  Matte and Glossy.  HP Brochure / Professional papers are 180 gsm in weight.

HP Presentation Paper is a lighter weight “brochure” type paper at 120 gsm.

If the “heavy” paper type is generally supported but is not listed in the job configuration Properties, select the closer alternative: For example, in Properties > select “Brochure” / “Professional”.

Plain Paper is typically defined as standard office paper at 16-24 lb in weight.
