ColorLok

papers with the ColorLok logo in a variety of weights and sizes from major paper manufacturers.

fingerprints, and humidity. Your prints have a look and feel comparable to a store-processed photo. It is available

in several sizes, including A4, 8.5 x 11 inch, 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) (with or without tabs), 13 x 18 cm (5 x 7 inch),

photo paper dries quickly for easy handling. Get sharp, crisp images when you use this paper with any inkjet

(with or without tabs). For longer-lasting photos, it is acid-free.

HP Brochure Paper or HP Superior Inkjet Paper

for near-photographic reproductions and business graphics for report covers, special presentations, brochures,

mailers, and calendars.

They are heavyweight for an impressive look and feel.

color usage with no show-through, which makes it ideal for newsletters, reports, and flyers. It features ColorLok
