To keep your paper in good condition for printing:

Store the photo paper in its original packaging or in a resealable plastic bag.

Keep the paper flat in a cool, dry place. If the corners curl, place the paper in a plastic bag and gently bend it in the opposite direction until it lies flat.

Hold photo paper by the edges to avoid smears.

Using specialty papers

Note HP recommends using the Main tray for these specialty medias, but the rear feed slot can be used for stiffer medias. Check the HP web site at www.hp.com/support for more information about printing with fine art media.

Your HP printer also prints on a variety of non-HP specialty media. Experiment with some of the types listed here for special effects:

Smooth Fine Art Paper

William Turner Textured Surface

German Etching

Photo Rag

Photo Rag Smooth Surface

Fine Art Water Color

Soft Fine Art Water Color

Photo Rag Duo

Soft Suede

Gallery Gloss

Some media types may not be available in all countries/regions. Check with your local media provider.

Warning Do not use photo board as it can damage the printer.
