Chapter 9 Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing images, use HP Advanced Photo Paper. Store specialty media in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a flat surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you plan to use immediately.
