Printing panoramic photos
This section contains information about printing panoramic photos that contain borders and photos that
are borderless. Following are guidelines for printing panoramic photos:
●
For high-quality results, use a photo print cartridge in combination with the tri-color print cartridge.
●
For maximum fade resistance, use HP Premium Plus Photo Paper and photo print cartridges in
the printer.
●
To learn how to use the photo printing features, see
Printing digital photographs.
●
Use HP Everyday Photo Paper, Semi-gloss to save money and ink when printing photos.
●
Verify that the photo paper that you are using is flat. If the photo paper is not flat, put the paper in
the resealable storage bag, and roll the bag on a table edge until the paper is flat.
●
Do not exceed the input tray capacity: up to 25 sheets.
