Printing digital photographs
Enhanced color printing
Your printer uses six ink colors to enhance the quality of printed photographs. To obtain a list of
supported print cartridges for your printer, see
NOTE
You can print high-quality black-and-white photographs using a gray photo print
cartridge, combined with the tri-color print cartridge.
NOTE
After you install a new print cartridge, the printer will automatically align the print
cartridges and use one sheet of paper to print an alignment page. If you have higher-quality photo
media loaded in the input tray, you may want to load a sheet of plain paper before installing the
new 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. See
.
*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 slower. Photo cartridge, if
present, further enhances the print quality.
●
To print borderless photographs, see
●
It is recommended to 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. See
●
Align the photo print cartridges for the best possible print quality. You do not need to align the print
cartridges every time you install a photo print cartridge, only when necessary. 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
or (3/8 inch), flatten the paper by putting it in the resealable storage bag, then rolling the bag on a
table edge until the paper is flat.
