HP Inc. Multipurpose 500ct Printer Paper 8.5"x11" - White HEW112530: 20 lb, 96 Brightness

A: Hi Curious, thanks for reaching out about HP Inc. Multipurpose 500ct Printer Paper 8.5"x11" - White HEW112530. The HP Inc. Multipurpose 500ct Printer Paper 8.5"x11" (HEW112530), which is also known as HP MultiPurpose20™ paper (referring to its 20lb weight), is designed for versatility and is generally suitable for double-sided printing with minimal show-through. Tips for best double-sided results: Printer Settings: Ensure your printer settings are optimized for duplex (double-sided) printing. Some printers allow for "slow drying mode" or "high quality" settings that reduce print speed to allow more drying time between sides. Ink/Toner Levels: Ensure your ink or toner cartridges are not low, as inconsistent ink/toner application can sometimes contribute to uneven saturation and potential show-through. Cleanliness: Make sure your printer's fuser (for laser) or rollers (for inkjet) are clean, as residue can sometimes cause "ghosting" that isn't related to the paper itself. In conclusion, for typical double-sided documents (text, light graphics), the HP Multipurpose 20lb paper should perform well with very little noticeable shadowing. For demanding applications with heavy ink, you might see some minor show-through, which is expected for this paper type and weight.
