You can change the setting to Full if the images that you print are under exposed or over exposed, contain dark areas or red eye, or have colors that appear washed out.

You can also select the Off setting if you prefer to edit the image manually in a software program such as HP Photosmart software.

To change the HP Real Life technologies setting

1.Open the Printer Properties dialog box. For more information, see “Printer Properties dialog box” on page 23.

2.Click the Features tab.

3.In the HP Real Life technologies Photo fix drop-down list, select the appropriate setting for the photo you are printing.

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 Photosmart printer will print.

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

2.Click the Features tab.

3.In the Paper Type drop-down list, click More, and then select the appropriate paper type.

4.In the Print Quality drop-down list, click Maximum dpi.

NOTE: To view the maximum dpi that the HP Photosmart printer will print, click Resolution.
