How to use

Load the roll into the printer following the printer manufacturer’s instructions for large-format media handling, aligning the roll to ensure even feeding and correct printable width. Select the appropriate media preset or custom profile on the printer or RIP to match a matte heavyweight coated paper with a thickness of 155 µm and a basis weight near 120 g/m². Use Original HP inks or HP-recommended inksets for optimal color consistency and print head performance. After printing, allow prints to dry according to ink type and ambient conditions before trimming, laminating or mounting.

Usage recommendations

Store rolls horizontally in original packaging in a controlled environment between 15–30 °C and 30–70% relative humidity. For best results, handle prints minimally until fully dry, use appropriate cutter and mounting tools for 155 µm media, and select printer settings that match matte heavyweight coated paper to ensure stable color and reduced banding.
