All About Paper

‹

HP Photo Paper is a high-quality, glossy-finish, photo-based inkjet 
paper. It looks and feels like a photograph and can be mounted 
under glass or in an album. HP Photo paper dries rapidly and 
resists fingerprints and smudges.

‹

HP Iron-On T-Shirt Transfers can be used to transfer your designs 
or photos onto t-shirts, sweatshirts, and fabric crafts. 

Use the ordering information on page 9-4 for paper sizes, types, and 
part numbers.

NOTE

See page 4-4 for automatic document feeder paper requirements.
