Learn how to choose the right paper for your print job and how to load it into the input tray for printing.

Choose the right paper

Use HP Advanced Photo Paper. It is especially designed to work with the inks in your printer to create beautiful photos. Other photo papers will produce inferior results.

The printer is set by default to print the best quality photos on HP Advanced Photo Paper. If you print on a different type of paper, be sure to change the paper type from the printer menu. See To change the paper type.
