NOTE: To avoid print quality problems, always turn the printer o using the Power button, and wait until the

the cartridges to a capped position, where they are protected from drying out.
To improve print quality (Windows)
1. Make sure you are using original HP cartridges.
2. Check the paper type.
For best print quality, use high quality HP paper, or papers that adhere to the ColorLok® standard. For
more information, see Paper basics on page 8.
Always make sure the paper you are printing on is at. For best results when printing images, use HP
Advanced Photo Paper.
Store specialty paper in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a at surface in a cool,
dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you plan to use immediately. When you
have nished printing, return any unused photo paper to the plastic bag. This prevents the photo paper
from curling.
3. Check the printer software to make sure you have selected the appropriate paper type from the Media
drop-down list and the appropriate print quality from the Quality Settings options.

the print properties.
