To print with six-ink color
Your printer can print with six-ink color to enhance the quality of printed photographs.
Print high-quality grayscale photographs by using a black print cartridge and a tri-color
print cartridge, or by using a gray photo print cartridge and a tri-color print cartridge. To
perform six-ink color printing, a photo and a tricolor print cartridge must be installed
together.
NOTE: You can print high-quality black-and-white photographs using a gray
photo print cartridge, combined with the tri-color print cartridge.
Guidelines for printing photographs
•
For the best results when printing photographs and images, choose Best mode
and select an HP photo paper in the printer driver. Best mode uses HP's unique
PhotoREt IV color-layering technology and ColorSmart III color optimization
technology to create realistic photo images, vivid color output, and extremely sharp
text. With PhotoREt IV, a greater range of colors, lighter tones, and smoother
gradations between tones can be achieved, ensuring the best photo and image
print quality.
Alternatively, select Maximum dpi, which provides up to 4800 x 1200 optimized
dpi* for optimum print quality.
*Up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi for color printing and 1200 input dpi. This setting
might temporarily use a large amount of hard disk space (400 MB or more) and will
print more slowly. Photo cartridge, if present, further enhances the print quality.
•
Remove each sheet of paper as it prints and set it aside to dry.
•
If the printed colors visibly shift towards yellow, cyan or magenta, or there is a
tinge of color in the gray shades, you need to calibrate the color. For more
information, see
.
•
If you install photo print cartridges, align the print cartridges for best possible print
quality. You do not need to align the print cartridges every time you install a photo
print cartridge, only when necessary. For more information, see
•
To store a print cartridge, see
•
Always hold photo paper by the edges. Fingerprints on photo paper reduce print
quality.
•
Photo paper should be flat before printing. If the corners of the photo paper curl
more than 10 mm (3/8 inch), flatten the paper by putting it in a resealable plastic
bag, and roll them into a tube. Roll the sheets so the curve of the tube is in the
opposite direction of the original curl of the paper. Roll the tube no smaller than a
1.5 inch (4 cm) in diameter.
