Print borderless photos

Use borderless printing to print to the edges of certain paper types and to print on a range of paper sizes—from 4 x 6 inch photo paper to a 210 x 594 mm (8.5 x 23.4 inch) custom photo size.

Guidelines

●For high-quality results, use a photo print cartridge in combination with the tri- color print cartridge.

●Do not print borderless photos in ink-backup mode. Always have two print cartridges installed in the printer.

●Open the file in a software program such as HP Image Zone or Adobe Photoshop and assign the photo size. Ensure that the size corresponds to the paper size on which you want to print the photo.

●If you installed the HP Image Zone software, you can use it to stitch together panoramic digital photos before printing them.

●For maximum fade resistance, use HP Premium Plus Photo Paper.

●Verify that the photo paper that you are using is flat. For information about preventing photo paper from curling, see the photo paper storage instructions.

●Do not exceed the In tray capacity: 30 sheets of photo paper.
