Designed for high-volume production on HP Latex printers and a wide range of compatible latex systems, HP Universal Heavyweight Coated Paper delivers premium indoor graphics with vivid color, crisp detail, and consistent performance across long print runs. The 3-inch core and 36-inch width offer smooth loading and efficient workflows, while the heavyweight coated surface provides a premium look and feel for posters, signage, POP displays, and wall graphics. This media is engineered for reliable color reproduction, durable handling, and versatile applications, making it a trustworthy choice for professional print shops, marketing teams, and in-house graphics departments seeking dependable results with fewer surprises.

• Optimized for HP Latex printers and broadly compatible with other latex and pigment-based printers, this heavyweight coated paper ensures consistent color reproduction, sharp edges, and smooth gradients across a wide gamut. The coated surface minimizes ink feathering, reduces show-through on high-density areas, and supports rapid drying for faster production cycles, helping you meet tight deadlines without sacrificing image quality. Whether producing vibrant posters, wall graphics, or signage, you’ll enjoy dependable performance from run to run with minimal color drift and outstanding detail retention in both shadows and highlights.
• Heavyweight durability meets everyday practicality. The coated paper delivers excellent dimensional stability, reducing curl and warping during lengthy print jobs and after lamination or mounting. This steadiness helps maintain alignment and crisp edge definition, which is essential for multi-panel murals or large-format posters. The robust construction also stands up to handling on the shop floor, allowing you to transport, trim, and mount finished pieces with confidence while preserving print integrity from edge to edge.
• Versatility for a range of indoor applications. The universal heavyweight coated finish provides a premium look suitable for gallery-quality displays, retail signage, event backdrops, trade show graphics, and corporate communications. It produces vibrant color with rich blacks and clean whites, ideal for detailed photography, fine text, and high-contrast graphics. The media is well-suited for lamination and mounting, offering compatibility with common finishing processes while maintaining color fidelity and durability under normal indoor lighting and handling.
• Workflow efficiency and compatibility. The 36" width aligns with standard display frames and mounting setups, minimizing the need for seams and simplifying post-print workflows. The 3-inch core is compatible with most universal unwinders, enabling quick loading and reducing machine downtime. The media behaves predictably across different printer settings, offering stable tension, smooth feeding, and consistent ink deposition to support high-volume production environments.
• Cost efficiency with long roll life. A generous 200-foot length per roll minimizes downtime caused by roll changes and reorders, helping you meet demanding schedules and lower overall production costs per square foot. The consistent media thickness and finish reduce waste from misfeeds and rejects, while the universal coating provides reliable performance across various printers, allowing you to consolidate media inventories and streamline purchasing for multiple machines.
