No, you must avoid swellable papers at all costs. The HP paper of choice is the HP Advanced, which has a Wilhem rating of > 200 years. This is the paper supplied for the calibration setup.mrtoml said:Does the HP rely on the swellable HP papers? My HP designjet only produces archival prints if I buy their HP premium plus paper as well. The technology was designed to combine the ink and paper in combination. If I use other papers they fade rather quickly. The good thing about the Epsons is that you can use lots of different papers, not just Epson's.
Another thing to bear in mind.
To clarify things a bit: the HP 8750, which I use, uses HP's Vivera archival dye-based inks, and works best with HP's own Premium/Premium Plus (swellable) paper. Most any swellable paper from anyone else can be used, but the combination of these HP papers and inks gets the nod in terms of an official archival rating (also rated by Wilhelm, BTW: >100 years under glass/>200 years for dark storage), though I'm certain other papers are likely just as stable.plummerl said:No, you must avoid swellable papers at all costs.

robert blu said:My additional suggestion is because printer are special item, in some cases delicated, if possible buy it in a specialized dealer who can if necessary give you tech assistence and not in a general multipurpose electronic shop. But you have some friends who are electronic guru...
ciao, rob
I'll try my best. 🙂nico said:@Amateriat and Larry may you please help me to understand what a "swellable" paper. 😕 😱 thanks a lot ...

which runs a cleaning cycle (or something similar). I deduce that means the printer takes it upon itself to make sure the jets don't clog. I suspect this means there is a random cycle which uses or flushes some of my very expensive ink.
