Exif Print
Exif Print (Exchangeable Image File Format 2.2) is an international digital imaging
standard that simplifies digital photography and enhances printed photos. When a photo
is taken with an Exif Print-enabled digital camera, Exif Print captures information such
as exposure time, type of flash, and color saturation, and stores it in the image file. The
HP Deskjet printer software then uses this information to automatically perform image-
specific enhancements to create outstanding photos.
To print Exif Print-enhanced photos, you must have the following items:
A digital camera that supports Exif Print
Exif Print-enabled photo software
Follow these steps to print Exif Print-enhanced photos:
1 Open the file that you want the Exif Print-enabled photo software to print.
2 Open the Printer Properties dialog box.
3 Click the Paper/Quality tab.
4 Click the appropriate photo paper type in the Type is drop-down list.
5 Click Normal, Best, or Maximum dpi in the Print quality drop-down list.
6 Select any other print settings that you want, and then click OK.
The printer software automatically optimizes the printed image.
Storing and handling photo paper
Follow these instructions to maintain the quality of HP brand photo paper.
Storage
Keep unused photo paper in a plastic bag. Store the packaged photo paper on a
flat surface in a cool place.
When you are ready to print, remove only the paper that you plan to use
immediately from the plastic bag. When you have finished printing, return any
unused photo paper to the plastic bag.
Do not leave unused photo paper in the paper tray. The paper might start to curl,
which can reduce the quality of your photos.
Handling
Always hold photo paper by its edges. Fingerprints on photo paper can reduce
print quality.
If the corners of the photo paper curl more than 10 mm (0.4 inch), flatten the paper
by putting it in the storage bag, and then gently bending it the opposite direction of
the curl until the paper lies flat.
Photo paper should be flat before it is printed on.
Saving money when printing photos
To save money and ink when printing photos, use HP Everyday Photo Paper and set
the print quality to Normal.
HP Everyday Photo Paper is designed to create quality photos with less ink.
