Papers to avoid
Using paper that is too thin or too thick, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that 
stretches easily can cause paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does not 
accept ink can cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.

TIP:To help prevent rips, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges, store all paper flat in 
a resealable bag. If the paper is not stored properly, extreme changes in temperature 
and humidity might result in curled paper that does not work well in the HP All-in-One.
