Maximum dpi

The maximum dpi print quality setting offers 4800 x 1200 optimized dots per inch (dpi) printing.

The 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi is the highest quality resolution for this printer. When 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi is selected in the printer software, the tri-color print cartridge prints in the 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi mode (up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi color and 1200-input dpi). If a photo print cartridge is also installed, the print quality is enhanced. A photo print cartridge can be purchased separately if it is not included with the printer.

Note Using Maximum dpi increases the printing time and requires a large amount of disk space.

Follow these steps to print in the 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi mode:

1Open the Print dialog box.

2Select the Paper Type/Quality panel.

3In the Print Quality drop-down list, click Maximum dpi.

4Select any other print settings that you want, and then click Print.

Note Use an HP premium photo paper when printing in the Maximum dpi mode to enhance color matching and detail in the photo.
