Media

Always make sure that you are using the appropriate
media for your image and that it is consistent with your
software application. To ensure color accuracy and
print-quality performance of the printer, use only media
types that have been certified for your printer. Use of
non-HP media or HP media not certified for your printer
may significantly reduce the color and print quality of
your images. For details of HP media, see

Handling Your Media



Handle film and glossy media by the edges or wear
cotton gloves. Skin oils can be transferred to the
media leaving finger print marks.



Although the ink systems supplied with this printer
have good light fastness, colors will eventually fade
or change if exposed to sunlight over a long period
of time.



Rewrap partially used rolls if they are not
being used and do not stack rolls.



Always keep unused rolls wrapped in the
plastic wrap to prevent discoloration.



Keep the media tightly wound on the roll
throughout the loading and unloading

procedures. If the media starts to unwind, it can
become difficult to handle.
