● Print in Sepia: Print images in a brownish tone to give them an antique look. On the Color tab, select the Print in Sepia check box. ● Print in Grayscale: Both black-and-white and color documents can be converted to grayscale. For Windows, on the Color tab, select the Print in Grayscale check box. For Macintosh, on the Paper tab and under the Color drop-down list, select Grayscale. Printing digital photographs Enhanced color printing Your printer uses six ink colors to enhance the quality of printed photographs. To obtain a list of supported print cartridges for your printer, see Supported print cartridges. NOTE You can print high-quality black-and-white photographs using a gray photo print cartridge, combined with the tri-color print cartridge. NOTE After you install a new print cartridge, the printer will automatically align the print cartridges and use one sheet of paper to print an alignment page. If you have higher-quality photo media loaded in the input tray, you may want to load a sheet of plain paper before installing the new print cartridge. Guidelines for printing photographs ● For the best results when printing photographs and images, choose Best mode and select an HP photo paper in the printer driver. Best mode uses HP's unique PhotoREt IV color-layering technology and ColorSmart III color optimization technology to create realistic photo images, vivid color output, and extremely sharp text. With PhotoREt IV, a greater range of colors, lighter tones, and smoother gradations between tones can be achieved, ensuring the best photo and image print quality. Alternatively, select Maximum dpi, which provides up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi* for optimum print quality. See 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi. *Up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi for color printing and 1200 input dpi. This setting might temporarily use a large amount of hard disk space (400 MB or more) and will print slower. Photo cartridge, if present, further enhances the print quality. ● To print borderless photographs, see Printing borderless. ● It is recommended to remove each sheet of paper as it prints and set it aside to dry. ● If the printed colors visibly shift towards yellow, cyan or magenta, or there is a tinge of color in the gray shades, you need to calibrate the color. See Calibrating the color. ● Align the photo print cartridges for the best possible print quality. You do not need to align the print cartridges every time you install a photo print cartridge, only when necessary. See Aligning the print cartridges. ● To store a print cartridge, see Storing the print cartridges. ● Always hold photo paper by the edges. Fingerprints on photo paper reduce print quality. ● Photo paper should be flat before printing. If the corners of the photo paper curl more than 10 mm or (3/8 inch), flatten the paper by putting it in the resealable storage bag, then rolling the bag on a table edge until the paper is flat. 42 Chapter 4 Printing and loading media ENWW
