For more information, see the HP Photosmart Printer Help. Storing the print cartridges When you store the printer, always leave the active print cartridges inside the printer. The printer stores the print cartridges in a protective cap during the power-down cycle. Caution Make sure the printer completes its power-down cycle before you unplug the power cord. This allows the printer to store the print cartridges properly. Follow these tips to help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print quality: ● When you remove a print cartridge from the printer, store it in a print cartridge protector to prevent the ink from drying out. In some countries/regions the cartridge protector is not included with the printer, but comes with the HP Gray Photo cartridge that can be purchased separately. In other countries/regions, the protector is included with the printer. ● Keep all unused print cartridges in their original sealed packages until they are needed. Store print cartridges at room temperature (15-35 degrees C or 59-95 degrees F). ● Do not remove the plastic tape covering the ink nozzles until you are ready to install the print cartridge in the printer. If the plastic tape has been removed from the print cartridge, do not attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the tape damages the print cartridge. Maintaining the quality of photo paper For best results with photo paper, follow the guidelines in this section. Storing photo paper ● Store the photo paper in its original packaging or in a resealable plastic bag. ● Store the packaged photo paper on a flat, cool, and dry surface. ● Return unused photo paper to its original packaging or in a resealable plastic bag. Paper left in the printer or exposed to the environment may curl or yellow. Handling photo paper ● Always hold photo paper by the edges to avoid fingerprints. ● If the photo paper has curled edges, place it in its plastic storage bag and gently bend it in the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat. 30 HP Photosmart 7800 series
