HP Q1397A Inkjet White Paper 36" Roll

The HP Q1397A is a 36-inch by 150-foot roll of universal bond paper rated at 80 g/m² (21 lb), engineered specifically for HP Designjet large-format inkjet printers. At this weight and specification, it sits squarely in the standard-grade category for technical printing — CAD drawings, architectural plans, GIS maps, and general-purpose line art. HP formulates the paper surface to work in concert with Designjet print cartridges and ink systems, which means ink absorption, dry time, and line edge definition are tuned to deliver sharp, accurate output without bleeding or feathering on compatible hardware.

This roll is sized for the most common large-format use case: 36-inch-wide output on a 2-inch core. It's a practical choice for engineering firms, architecture offices, and print shops running HP Designjet hardware where consistent, predictable output quality matters more than premium media features. The bond weight keeps per-print costs low for high-frequency draft and review cycles. For final presentation prints, photo output, or any application requiring water resistance or enhanced color gamut, you would step up to HP's coated or photo-grade media lines. The Q1397A is the everyday workhorse roll — reliable, well-matched to HP's ink chemistry, and appropriately priced for routine technical output.
