• Color-accurate everyday prints and design proofs: The coated surface on this HP media is optimized for faithful color reproduction across a wide color gamut, ensuring vector lines, gradients, and photographic elements stay true to your source. Whether you are generating working comps for client reviews, proofing branding assets, or presenting design concepts, you’ll benefit from consistent color fidelity, reduced ink bleed, and smooth tonal transitions that make details pop. Designed to pair with HP color management tools and ICC profiles, this paper minimizes soft shadows and color shifts, helping teams approve work confidently on every page.
• Excellent handleability for fast-paced environments: This coated paper is engineered to deliver reliable handling in high-volume workflows. It feeds smoothly through wide-format printers, resists curl, and supports straightforward rolling and stacking right off the printer. Time-sensitive documents—such as proofs, agendas, and on-site delivery packages—stay flat and readable, enabling quick distribution without compromising presentation quality. The media’s stiffness and uniform thickness contribute to fewer feed jams and more consistent output across long print runs.
• Ideal for working comps, proofs, and presentations: Architects, engineers, and designers rely on precise line weights and color accuracy when sharing concepts with clients or stakeholders. HP Coated Paper helps create compelling working drawings, presentation boards, and proof sheets that communicate details effectively. The coated surface enhances edge sharpness for crisp text and clean vector graphics, while maintaining readability on large-format layouts. With this paper, you can move from computer screen to print with confidence, enabling productive reviews and smoother decision-making.
• Coated surface designed for sharp text and vivid color: The surface treatment reduces ink bleed and enhances contrast, producing bold titles, legible annotations, and precise geometric details. Whether you’re printing technical schematics, charts, or marketing visuals, the coated finish provides excellent image clarity, improved color saturation, and a professional appearance that weathered paper alone can’t match. The result is prints that hold up under client scrutiny and on-site discussions, delivering visual impact without compromising legibility or accuracy.
• Versatile, broad-compatibility media for professional workflows: Wide-format printers commonly used in design studios, CAD studios, and print shops are compatible with HP Coated Paper. It’s suitable for a range of applications—from architectural and mechanical drawings to promotional posters and design proofs. Its long roll format supports extended runs and large-format projects, helping teams minimize reloading and downtime. The paper’s whiteness, opacity, and surface smoothness are chosen to complement common HP printer profiles, enabling predictable results across different print jobs and environments.

how to install HP Coated Paper

• Step 1 — Prepare and inspect the media: Remove the roll from its packaging and inspect for any damage or moisture exposure. Ensure the paper is at a stable room temperature and free from excessive humidity. Confirm that your printer is configured for coated media and that the roll width matches the printer’s media path (36" wide in this case).
• Step 2 — Load the paper correctly: Feed the roll into the printer’s media path following the printer’s manual. If the printer uses edge guides, align them to the roll width, and verify that the roll is feeding straight to prevent roll skew. Use the correct core type and paper thickness settings recommended for coated paper to optimize feeding and tension.
• Step 3 — Set print preferences: In your printer driver or RIP, choose the appropriate media type (Coated Paper or a similar coated media profile). Select a high-quality print mode that minimizes grain and enhances color depth. If available, enable ICC color management and choose the HP color profile that corresponds to the paper to ensure faithful color reproduction.
• Step 4 — Calibrate and test: Run a test print or calibration sheet to verify alignment, color accuracy, and tonal range. Check for curling, head strikes, or misregistration. If necessary, adjust color balance, brightness, and contrast in small increments to achieve the desired results on the coated surface.
• Step 5 — Monitor drying and handling: Allow printed sheets to dry fully before handling, stacking, or rolling to prevent smudging. When rolling, use clean, lint-free protective layers or interleaving to minimize surface abrasion and dust accumulation. Store finished prints flat or rolled with care to maintain flatness and edge integrity.
