Printouts seem blurry or fuzzy
Cause: The paper type is not suitable for the HP Photosmart.
Solution: Use HP Premium Papers or any other paper type that is appropriate for
the HP Photosmart.
Cause: The Paper Type setting is incorrect.
Solution: Change the paper type setting to match the type of paper loaded in the
input tray.
For more information, see:
“Set the paper type for printing” on page 67
Cause: The Paper Type setting is incorrect.
Solution: Load high-quality paper in the input tray and print the image with a high
print quality setting, such as Best, Maximum dpi, or High Resolution. Always make
sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing images, use
HP Premium Plus Photo Paper.
If the problem persists, use the software you installed with the HP Photosmart or
another software application to rotate your image 180 degrees so that the light blue,
gray, or brown hues in your image do not print at the bottom of the page.
For more information, see:
“Information on paper” on page 115
Cause: You are printing on the wrong side of the paper.
Solution: Load paper with the side you want to print on facing down. For example,
if you are loading glossy photo paper, load the paper with the glossy side down.
