Make sure that the appropriate print-quality setting (Best, Normal, Normal-Fast, or Fast) is selected.
You can set the print quality in the driver, in the Embedded Web Server, or on the front panel. Driver
or Embedded Web Server settings override front panel settings. The combination of paper type and
print-quality settings tells the printer how to place the ink on the paper—for example, the ink density
and halftoning method. See
Select print quality on page 80
.
●
Although the ink systems that are supplied with this printer have good light-fastness, colors will
eventually fade or change if exposed to sunlight over a long period of time
●
If the paper type shown on the front panel does not correspond to the paper that you intend to use,
take one of the following actions:
●
Reload the roll into the printer and select the correct media type. See
Unload a roll from the
printer on page 36
and
Load a roll into the printer on page 32
.
●
Use the Embedded Web Server, the HP Easy Printer Care, or the HP Printer Utility to reconfigure
the media type for the roll.
●
At the printer's front panel, select the
icon, and then select View loaded paper >
Change loaded paper type.
NOTE:
The paper advance calibration is not performed when the paper type is
changed from the frnt panel.
Drying time
On some paper and under certain environmental conditions, the ink needs some time to dry before the
paper is unloaded. The following settings are available:
●
Optimal: the printer automatically determines the appropriate drying time, based on the paper you
have selected and the current temperature and humidity. If any drying time is required, a “drying
time to go” countdown appears on the front panel.
●
Extended: the default drying time is extended. This can be used if you find that the default drying
time is sufficient to dry the ink.
●
Reduced: the default drying time is reduced. This can be used if you want to get prints as fast as
possible, and you find that the reduced drying time causes no significant problem in your
environment.
●
None: no drying time is provided. This can be used, for example, if you are manually removing the
prints as quickly as the printer is producing them.
●
Manual: this allows you to specify the drying time (in minutes).
To change the drying time, see

Supported paper types
The following table lists the most common HP paper types that are suitable for use with your printer, and
shows the name that you should select on the front panel when loading each paper type. If you want to
use an HP paper that does not appear on the front panel, go to
propriate paper profile. You only need to download a profile once; the
printer stores it for future use and it subsequently appears in the front panel .
For the part numbers, widths, and weights of these papers, see
