HP Everyday Photo Paper

To save money and ink when printing photos, use HP Everyday Photo Paper, Semi- gloss and set the Print quality to Normal.

6.9 Borderless photos

Guidelines

To print borderless photos, use 4 x 6 inch photo paper with a 0.5 inch tab (10 x 15 cm with 1.25 cm tab); the photo prints without borders on three sides and with a small border on the bottom edge that you tear off to make the photo completely borderless.

For high-quality results, use a photo print cartridge in combination with the tri- color print cartridge.

For maximum fade resistance, use HP Premium Plus Photo Paper and install a photo print cartridge in the printer.

To learn how to use the photo printing features, see the photo enhancing page.
