Print quality settings

•Fast Draft produces draft-quality output at the fastest printing speed, while using the least amount of ink.

•Fast Normal produces higher quality output than the Fast Draft setting and prints more quickly than the Normal setting.

•Normal provides the best balance between print quality and speed and is appropriate for most documents.

•Best provides the best balance between high quality and speed and can be used for high quality prints. For most documents, the Best setting prints more slowly than the Normal setting.

•Maximum dpi optimizes the dots per inch (dpi) that the HP Printer prints. Printing in maximum dpi takes longer than printing with other settings and requires a large amount of disk space. For more information, see Maximum dpi.

Printing tips

Maximum dpi

Use maximum dpi mode to print high-quality, sharp images.

To get the most benefit from maximum dpi mode, use it to print high-quality images such as digital photographs. When you select the maximum dpi setting, the printer software displays the optimized dots per inch (dpi) that the HP Printer printer will print.

Printing in maximum dpi takes longer than printing with other settings and requires a large amount of disk space.

NOTE: If a photo print cartridge is also installed, the print quality is enhanced. A photo print cartridge can be purchased separately if it is not included with the HP Printer.
