Special features

New features and media make it easier than ever to produce high-quality photos:

When you use the new HP Advanced Photo Paper (also called HP Photo Paper in some countries/regions), special sensors in the printer detect a mark on the back of the paper and automatically select the optimal print settings. For more information about this new paper, see Choose the right paper.

HP Real Life technologies make it easy for you to get better photos. Automatic red eye removal and adaptive lighting to enhance detail in shadows are just a few of the many technologies included. You can explore the many editing and enhancing options from both the control panel and from the printer software. To access these features from the control panel, see Improving photo quality. To learn how to find them in the software, see HP Real Life technologies features.
