Wrapping Paper for HP Latex

Any suggestions regarding wrapping paper for HP latex. It would be nice for this application to get a wide roll but 36" and 60" only come is 500' rolls and I simply do not need that much material.

I'm hoping there are suitable alternatives.

Thanks

This media is available in 150-foot rolls in 30-inch widths- part number is Z6G70A. Standard widths for pre-printed wrapping paper are 24, 30, and 36 inches.

Ok. where do you order it from? That's the coolest thing. I HATE buying wrapping paper and would love to personalize it. For personal use. But seriously, I would love to offer customized wrapping paper!

I've used plain pattern paper in the past, which was fine just to mess around with, but wasn't opaque enough to hide contents without two layers, but at the cost of 5 cents sq/ft, it's not really an issue. I'd be curious enough to try something designed to look and feel like the real stuff.

So for the sake of timing I'm bringing in a roll of HP Z6G70A.

Any tips or things to be aware of while setting up and printing this project. Things such as repeat, etc.? Using Flexi 21.
 
just a request: can you show us the end results? I'd love to see this!
This is the HP Satin Wrapping Paper printed on a 300 Series HP Latex printer. There are media presets for this paper for the 300/ 500 Series as well as 630/ 700/ 800 Series on the HP PrintOS Media Locator.

A couple shots of the wrapping paper as it's coming off the HP. Not bad, though the images show it to be more vibrant than in reality.

I heard a few tick tick sounds as the roll didn't align onto the core perfectly so one side started to bind and fold at the hub. So message to self...'If you hear a noise that you don't recognize, look for the noise.' Being such a light substrate probably didn't help either.

Going forward I'll create templates to limit the number of images so the final product is more visually structured and not so chaotic as this client's artwork.
