NOTE: Printing with one print cartridge might be slower and the print quality might
be affected. It is recommended to print with both print cartridges. For borderless
printing, the tri-color print cartridge must be installed.
Calibrate color
If you are not satisfied with the appearance of colors, you can calibrate the colors
manually to ensure the best print quality.
NOTE: Calibrate the color only when the tri-color and photo print cartridges are
installed together. The photo print cartridge is available for purchase as an optional
accessory. For more information, see
HP supplies and accessories.
NOTE: If you are using a Pocket PC or Palm OS device, you can calibrate the
color using the Toolbox software for PDAs. For more information, see
Toolbox
software for PDAs (Pocket PC and Palm OS).
Color calibration balances color tints on printed pages. It is only necessary if:
• Printed colors have visibly shifted toward yellow, cyan or magenta.
• There is a color tinge in the gray shades.
Low ink levels in the print cartridges might also produce incorrect colors.
• Toolbox (Windows): Open the Toolbox. For more information, see
