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.

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.
