Water slide

[NikitaG]

Hi I have an HP  envy 5540 and need to know best clear  water slide paper to use. Tried a cheap one and even though the image stays looking great once soaked, when I put it o to glittered background on a tumbler it is hardly visible. Hoping it’s the cheap paper I used? Can anyone help please

@NikitaG, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

HP ENVY 5540 All-in-One Printer does not support printing on a water slide paper. To check the printer specs, click here. 

To check what type of papers are supported, refer to paper basics on page 7 of the user guide.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

I’m confused, what do u mean it doesn’t support it? I’ve already done one but quality wasn’t great so wondered if it was quality of paper. So what does it doesn’t support it mean please? 
what printer does support it then that isn’t a ridiculous price please? As if what u r saying is correct then I now obv need to pay out for yet another printer 

thanks

It could have printed one before and the quality was not good because the printer cannot print on that type of paper. To check the compatible printers with water slide paper, contact HP Store

Keep me posted for any other assistance.

The ho store is useless and I still can’t find which ones do support it! It’s ridiculous. I just need a list of ones that do please

It seems you are wrong and it does print waterslide. Have now managed to print one and apply it to cup so for anyone wondering, set it to specialty paper glossy and off u go

My hp 5540 won't print any color on my water slide paper? Why is this?

How did you get it to print color? Mine only prints black and white on water slide paper??
