Why Use Genuine HP OEM Paper?

  • Colour-matched to HP inks – HP papers are profiled and tested with HP Vivera, HP 970, and PageWide ink systems for accurate, predictable colour output
  • Instant-dry coating – HP’s ColorLok technology and proprietary coatings absorb ink rapidly, producing bolder blacks, more vivid colours, and faster drying times
  • ColorLok Technology – HP’s paper standard ensures 3× more vivid colours, 2× better blacks, and up to 3× faster drying compared to ordinary papers — used across HP’s everyday and professional paper lines
  • Water and smear resistance – HP photo papers feature water-resistant coatings that protect prints from everyday handling and moisture
  • Consistent sheet quality – uniform coating weight and surface finish across every sheet, eliminating the batch variation common with third-party media
  • No print head risk – HP OEM papers are tested to ensure they do not shed coating particles that can clog HP Thermal Inkjet print heads

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need to use HP paper with my HP printer? — You are not required to use HP paper, but genuine HP OEM media is profiled and tested specifically for HP ink systems.

Third-party papers may produce acceptable results but will not benefit from HP’s ColorLok performance guarantees.
  • What is HP ColorLok Technology? — ColorLok is HP’s paper performance standard. Papers certified with ColorLok technology deliver 3× more vivid colours, 2× better blacks, and up to 3× faster drying times compared to ordinary uncoated papers. Most HP everyday and photo papers carry the ColorLok certification.
