Exif Print

Exif Print (Exchangeable Image File Format 2.2) is an international digital imaging standard that simplifies digital photography and enhances printed photos. When a photo is taken with an Exif Print-enabled digital camera, Exif Print captures information such as exposure time, type of flash, and color saturation, and stores it in the image file. The HP Deskjet printer software then uses this information to automatically perform image- specific enhancements to create outstanding photos.

To print Exif Print-enhanced photos, you must have the following items:

●A digital camera that supports Exif Print

●Exif Print-enabled photo software

Follow these steps to print Exif Print-enhanced photos:

1Open the file that you want the Exif Print-enabled photo software to print.

2Open the Printer Properties dialog box.

3Click the Paper/Quality tab.

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

5Click Normal, Best, or Maximum dpi in the Print quality drop-down list.

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

The printer software automatically optimizes the printed image.

Storing and handling photo paper

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

Storage

●Keep unused photo paper in a plastic bag. 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 paper tray. The paper might start to curl, which can reduce the quality of your photos.

Handling

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

●If the corners of the photo paper curl more than 10 mm (0.4 inch), flatten the paper by putting it in the storage bag, and then gently bending it the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat.

Photo paper should be flat before it is printed on.
