Handling
• Always hold photo paper by its edges. Fingerprints on photo paper can reduce
print quality.
• Verify that the photo paper is not curled. If the photo paper is curled, place the
paper in a plastic bag and gently bend it the opposite direction of the curl until
the paper lies flat. If the problem persists, use photo paper that is not curled.

completely borderless.

a photo print cartridge in the printer.

cartridges installed in the printer.
