6.9 Borderless photos
Guidelines
• To print borderless photos, use 4 x 6 inch photo paper with a 0.5 inch tab (10
x 15 cm with 1.25 cm tab); the photo prints without borders on three sides and
with a small border on the bottom edge that you tear off to make the photo
completely borderless.
• For high-quality results, use a photo print cartridge in combination with the tri-
color print cartridge.
• For maximum fade resistance, use HP Premium Plus Photo Paper and install
a photo print cartridge in the printer.
• To learn how to use the photo printing features, see the photo enhancing page.
• Use HP Everyday Photo Paper, Semi-gloss to save money and ink when
printing photos.
• Verify that the photo paper that you are using is flat. For information about
preventing photo paper from curling, see the photo paper storage instructions.
• Do not print borderless photos in ink-backup mode. Always have two print
cartridges installed in the printer.
• Do not exceed the In-tray capacity: Up to 30 sheets.
