To keep your paper in good condition for printing:

Store the photo paper in its original packaging or in a resealable plastic bag.

Keep the paper flat in a cool, dry place. If the corners curl, place the paper in a
plastic bag and gently bend it in the opposite direction until it lies flat.

Hold photo paper by the edges to avoid smears.

HP recommends using the Main tray for these specialty medias, but the

rear feed slot can be used for stiffer medias. Check the HP web site at

some of the types listed here for special effects:

Smooth Fine Art Paper

William Turner Textured Surface

Some media types may not be available in all countries/regions. Check with your local
media provider.

Warning

Do not use photo board as it can damage the printer.
