  • Sharp lines
  • High-quality performance at full press speed

No. ColorPRO Technology is applied at the paper mill during production making it very cost effective.

ColorPRO papers allow for the most efficient use of ink on paper. This can result in the ability to print a wider gamut than on standard papers or more efficient use of ink. Better densities and solid area fills, coupled with crisp text, will often allow the use of a lower ink profile, which would result in using less ink on paper.

Papers include coated gloss, matte and silk, together with a wide range of uncoated papers. Please refer to the ColorPRO Media Locator on this site for the most updated list of papers.

ColorPRO papers are developed in close cooperation with the HP Research and Development team to ensure that the HP Press systems including ink, paper handling and drying are all fully optimized to produce the highest quality, most reproducible results possible. While HP develops ColorPRO technology to optimize output on HP PageWide web presses, the benefits can be seen on other production inkjet systems.

Yes. ColorPRO Technology enabled papers are produced by paper mills who license the ColorPRO Technology. These papers are formulated for pigment inkjet inks and perform well with most production inkjet systems.
