Chapter 5 Handling ● Always hold photo paper by its edges. Fingerprints on photo paper can reduce print quality. ● If the corners of the photo paper curl more than 10 mm (0.4 inch), flatten the paper by putting it in the storage bag, and then gently bending it in the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat. Photo paper should be flat before it is printed on. Save money when printing photos To save money and ink when printing photos, use HP Everyday Photo Paper and set the print quality to Normal. HP Everyday Photo Paper is designed to create quality photos with less ink. Note For higher-quality photos, use HP Premium Plus Photo Paper and set the print quality to Best or Maximum dpi. 24 HP Deskjet 5900 series
