Chapter 5

The 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi is the highest quality resolution for this printer. When 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi is selected in the printer software, the tri-color print cartridge prints in the 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi mode (up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi color and 1200-input dpi). 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 printer.

Note Using Maximum dpi increases the printing time and requires a large amount of disk space.

Follow these steps to print in the 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi mode:

1Open the Printer Properties dialog box.

2Click the Printing Shortcuts tab or the Paper/Quality tab.

Note On the Printing Shortcuts tab, select either Photo printing-borderless or Photo printing-with white borders.

3Find the appropriate drop-down list:

Tab	Drop-down list
Printing Shortcuts	Paper type
Paper/Quality	Type is

4Click the appropriate photo paper type in the drop-down list.

5Click Maximum dpi in the Print quality drop-down list.

6Select any other print settings that you want, and then click OK.

Note Use an HP premium photo paper when printing in the Maximum dpi mode to enhance color matching and detail in the photo.

Using advanced color settings

Use the Advanced color settings dialog box to adjust how printed colors appear in your photos.

Adjusting these settings causes the printed colors to differ from the colors that appear on your computer monitor.
