Helpful list of what paper, media, textiles, even metal foil you can print on with a large format inkjet printer,

Specially with Hewlett-Packard large format DesignJet printers of the 2000cp and 3000cp series. This information is available in a hot-linked format on HP's home page.

It took about ten minutes to find this information (DesignJet/complimentary media program) so to save you the same frustration we figured it would be easier if we just summarize the information here. The advantage of getting it directly from HP's web site is that most entries are hot-linked to additional details about the paper. Good luck finding the key page. Even though we had read the page before, even though we knew where it was, we had to burrow down almost seven layers to reach it. We would provide a hot-link but the data does not appear on that page. You have to be in the HP site itself and do a search to trigger the appearance of the data itself.

For the newer HP DesignJet 5000 series, completely new media has been developed, especially for the UV pigmented inks on these new printers.
