6.6 Storing and handling photo paper
Follow these instructions to maintain the quality of your HP brand photo paper.
Storage

•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.

Handling
