Printouts seem blurry or fuzzy
Cause: The paper type is not suitable for the HP Photosmart.

the HP Photosmart.

Solution: Change the paper type setting to match the type of paper loaded in the
input tray.

Cause: The print quality setting on the HP Photosmart is set too low.
Solution: Load high-quality paper in the input tray and print the image with a high
print quality setting, such as Best, Maximum dpi, or High Resolution. Always make
sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing images, use
HP Premium Plus Photo Paper.
If the problem persists, use the software you installed with the HP Photosmart or
another software application to rotate your image 180 degrees so that the light blue,
gray, or brown hues in your image do not print at the bottom of the page.
For more information, see:
“Information on paper” on page 70
Cause: You are printing on the wrong side of the paper.
Solution: Load paper with the side you want to print on facing down. For example,
if you are loading glossy photo paper, load the paper with the glossy side down.
