Chapter 5

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 in the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat.

Photo paper should be flat before it is printed on.

Save money when printing photos

To save money and ink when printing photos, use HP Everyday Photo Paper and set the print quality to Normal.

HP Everyday Photo Paper is designed to create quality photos with less ink.

Note For higher-quality photos, use HP Premium Plus Photo Paper and set the print quality to Best or Maximum dpi.
