affordable professional photos with your HP printer. Original HP inks and HP Advanced Photo Paper have been designed to work together so your photos are long lasting and vivid, print after print. Great for printing out an entire vacation's worth of photos or multiple prints to share. Tips for selecting and using print media For the best results, observe the following guidelines: • Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more information, see Understand specifications for supported media. • Load only one type of media at a time into a tray. If you place a special media on top of a plain media, then you may end up with a paper jam or an incorrect print. • For Tray 1 and Tray 2, load media print-side down, aligned against the back of the tray. Center the media in the input tray, and adjust the paper-width guides. For more information, see Load media. NOTE: Tray 2 is sold as an accessory. For ordering information, see Accessories. • Tray 2 is designed to hold only plain paper. • Do not overload the trays. For more information, see Understand specifications for supported media. HP recommends loading special media no higher than 2/3 full. • To prevent jams, poor print quality, and other printing problems, avoid the following media: ◦ Multipart forms ◦ Media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled ◦ Media with cutouts or perforations ◦ Media that is heavily textured, embossed, or does not accept ink well ◦ Media that is too lightweight or stretches easily Cards and envelopes • Avoid envelopes that have a very slick finish, self-stick adhesives, clasps, or windows. Also, avoid cards and envelopes with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or areas that are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged. • Use tightly constructed envelopes, and make sure the folds are sharply creased. • Load envelopes with the flaps facing up and to the right or the back of the device.
