Guidelines

For maximum fade resistance, use HP Premium Plus Photo Paper.

Open the file in a software program such as Adobe Photoshop and assign the photo
size. Ensure that the size corresponds to the paper size on which you want to print
the photo.

Verify that the photo paper that you are using is flat. For information about preventing
photo paper from curling, see the

photo paper storage instructions

Do not exceed the In tray capacity: 25 sheets of photo paper.
