Product Information
Full details
HP Universal Bond Paper is designed for professionals and students who require high-quality, economical output for CAD drawings, GIS maps, and draft printing. Featuring ColorPRO Technology, this paper ensures vivid colors and sharp text clarity, making it an ideal choice for high-speed production environments. While it delivers excellent contrast and professional results, users should note that it is an 80gsm lightweight bond specifically optimized for technical workflows rather than heavy-duty presentation-grade photo printing.

FAQs
Is this paper compatible with non-HP printers?
While it is optimized for HP DesignJet printers, it may work with other wide-format printers that accept 36-inch bond rolls; however, performance cannot be guaranteed.
Can I use this for final presentations?
It is intended primarily for drafts, CAD drawings, and technical plots. For final presentations, a heavier coated paper or photo matte paper is usually recommended.
What is the weight of this paper?
This paper is 80gsm, which is standard weight for technical bond paper.
Is the paper recyclable?
Yes, HP Universal Bond Paper can typically be recycled through standard paper recycling streams, though you should check your local regulations.
Will ink bleed through to the other side?
Due to its increased opacity, it handles standard technical plotting inks well, but very heavy ink coverage may show through slightly.
What are the core dimensions for this roll?
The roll features a standard 2-inch core compatible with most wide-format spindles.
Troubleshooting
Paper jamming during printing
Check that the roll is properly seated on the spindle and that the edge is cut cleanly. Verify no scrap paper is trapped in the path.
Colors appear dull or washed out
Verify you have selected the correct 'Bond' or 'Universal Bond' paper type setting in your printer driver or RIP software.
Ink smearing or bleeding
Ensure the printhead is clean and that the 'Ink Limit' in your software is not set too high for 80gsm paper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To load the paper, ensure your HP DesignJet printer spindle is unlocked and slide the roll onto the spindle, aligning it with the edge markers. Follow your printer's on-screen prompts to feed the leading edge until the sensor detects the media.
For best results, store the paper in its original packaging in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight or high humidity. Exposure to moisture can cause the paper to ripple or affect ink absorption. Always handle the rolls by the edges to avoid oils from your hands affecting the print surface, especially if you intend to add hand-written annotations to the finished print.
