If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Yes, very good price. You'll pay more because it's usually a better paper stock and heavier than regular 20# plain bond. May I ask where you found it?
Finding RC resin coat will give better prints theoretically but no uv protection:

How to print labels on a different roll core? For example I have some direct thermal labels that I would like to print on using my HP DesignJet 800 that have a 1" core. I found another label stock on 2" core for Epson but it has a 5" outer diameter where I think HP 800 can only handle 3.75"?
Just put the roll in a box on a table or the floor and feed them in. It should work fine.
These printers were never designed to print labels so.. I'm not sure how you're going to tell it the page size, etc.

What about printing directly on the bag? The bags are loose but are made out of a plastic type material (poly mailer).
If you can load it like a sheet or roll of media, you can probably print on it. Otherwise... nope. It's the wrong kind of printer otherwise.

Check out this link: A Detail Guide to Screen Printing on Plastic Bags At Home
"A Detail Guide to Screen Printing on Plastic Bags At Home"
The title is about screen printing on plastic bags but also talks a little about inkjet printing.
Here's a link to the Bing search:

There's more websites there.
Seems the tough part would be how to feed the bag into the printer.
I found a company that sells it on 3" roll. They treat it and currently use it with water based inkjet printer. After googling I have seen something called nano water based inkjet. I don't know if thats different than what HP uses? Or if its just finer particles that offer better resolution? They offer it with perforation and white on both sides.
They are sending me samples in a few weeks so I will test. Is it possible to unwind the entire roll and feed it into HP DJ800? Forgive me as I am new to the whole wide format world. Will it lose track over time with no guides?
