6.6 Storing and handling photo paper

Follow these instructions to maintain the quality of your HP brand photo paper.

Storage

Keep unused photo paper in a resealable plastic bag, in the box in which it was originally packaged. Store the packaged photo paper on a flat surface in a cool place.

When you are ready to print, remove only the paper that you plan to use immediately from the plastic bag. When you have finished printing, return any unused photo paper to the plastic bag.

Do not leave unused photo paper in the printer paper tray. The paper might start to curl, which can reduce the quality of your photographs.

Handling

Always hold photo paper by its edges. Fingerprints on photo paper can reduce print quality.

Verify that the photo paper is not curled. If the photo paper is curled, place the paper in a plastic bag and gently bend it the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat. If the problem persists, use photo paper that is not curled.

6.7 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.

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

Use HP Everyday Photo Paper, Semi-glossto save money and ink when printing photos.

Verify that the photo paper that you are using is flat. For information about preventing photo paper from curling, see the photo paper storage instructions.

Do not print borderless photos in ink-backup mode. Always have two print cartridges installed in the printer.

Open the file in a software program and assign the image size. Ensure that the size corresponds to the paper size on which you want to print the image.

Do not exceed the paper tray capacity: Up to 15 sheets.
