HP Deskjet 6600 series printer

Part of the photo is faded

Fading occurs on the edges of a photo

Verify that the photo paper is not curled. If the photo paper is curled, place the paper in a plastic bag and gently bend it the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat. If the problem persists, then use photo paper that is not curled.

For instructions about preventing photo paper from curling, see the photo paper storage page.

If fading occurs approximately 25 to 64 mm (1 to 2.5 inches) from the edge of a photo, try the following:

Install a photo print cartridge and a tri-color print cartridge in the printer.

Rotate the image 180 degrees.

Open the Printer Properties dialog box, click the Paper/Quality tab, and then set the Print quality to Maximum dpi.

Use the What's This? help to learn about the features that you see in the Printer Properties dialog box.
