Printing borderless photos

Guidelines
● For high-quality results, use a photo print cartridge in combination with the tri-color
print cartridge.
● Do not print borderless photos in ink-backup mode. Always have two print
cartridges installed in the printer.
● Open the file in a software program and assign the photo size. Ensure that the size
corresponds to the paper size on which you want to print the photo.
● For maximum fade resistance, use HP Premium Plus Photo Paper.
● Do not exceed the In tray capacity: 30 sheets of photo paper.
