TIP: Before searching our website, please consult your User’s Manual to determine:

• What type of ink (dye or pigment) your printer uses
• The maximum thickness of media your printer can handle

For example, older model printers (such as the HP Designjet 500 and HP Designjet 800) use dye inks and were designed primarily to print drawings on uncoated and coated bond papers, vellum, and mylar. These printers and other older HP Designjet printers can’t handle popular photo papers, canvas, or self-adhesive materials that are 10 mil or thicker.

If you can’t find your User’s Manual or the HP Designjet supplies you need on our site, please call us at 866-310-3335. Our experienced and knowledgeable customer service representatives will be happy to help. We can confirm which HP-brand papers are compatible with your older-model printers and recommend some high-quality Freedom Paper inkjet media that will help you get great results at a lower price. We can even suggest some of Freedom Paper’s newer, thinner polypropylene films that can help you make short-term indoor signs on your older-model printers.

Freedom Paper has been selling wide format paper and other supplies for more than a decade. We know why you want to keep your favorite old printers up and running, and can help you get fast, low-cost delivery on the most economical and compatible options.

Does Your HP Designjet Printer Use Dye or Pigment Inks?

When you’re shopping for HP Designjet paper and supplies, it’s important to know whether your HP Designjet is a model that uses dye or pigment inks. Although Designjets that use dye inks can print posters, signs, and graphics for indoor use, the dye inks won’t last long if the sign is displayed outdoors. Signs for outdoor use should be printed with pigment inks (because they resist fading,) and the prints should be laminated to protect them from moisture.

The list below includes most of HP’s legacy Designjet printers and all of the newest Designjets. Most legacy models use aqueous dye inks (and/or a black pigment ink for text and line drawings on matte papers). Less than a dozen HP Designjet color printers use aqueous pigment inks.
