If you are printing on photo paper

If you are printing on photo paper, you have the option of using the gloss enhancer, which improves
overall gloss quality and eliminates bronzing. There are three settings:

Off: the gloss enhancer is not used.

Economode: the gloss enhancer is used in inked areas of the image, but not in ink-free (white)
areas.

Whole page: the gloss enhancer is used over the whole area of the defined page, including ink-
free areas.

If the print quality slider is set to Quality, the Gloss enhancer option is automatically set to Whole
page
. To change this setting:

In the driver dialog (Mac OS Print dialog): select custom instead of standard print-quality options,
then the Gloss enhancer option.

In the front panel: select the Setup menu icon

, then Printing preferences > Print quality

> Gloss enhancer. This option is available only with the HP-GL/2 Upgrade.

If you are printing on satin photo paper

If you are printing on satin photo paper, consider using HP Professional Satin Photo Paper, which can
offer:

A wider color gamut

Better black optical density

Better PANTONE coverage

A smoother surface

Print In Grayscale.

Print with no margins

Printing with no margins (to the edges of the paper) is known as borderless printing. This can be done
only on rolls of glossy paper.

In order to be sure of leaving no margins, the printer prints slightly past the edges of the paper. Any ink
deposited outside the paper is absorbed by the sponge situated in the platen.
