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 Adobe Photoshop and assign the photo size. Ensure that the size corresponds to the paper size on which you want to print the photo.

●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: 25 sheets of photo paper.
