HP Deskjet 5740 Color Inkjet Printer - Manual (Page 27)

Maximum dpi
The maximum dpi print quality setting offers 4800 x 1200 optimized dots per inch (dpi)
printing.
The 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi is the highest quality resolution for this printer. When
4800 x 1200 optimized dpi is selected in the printer software, the tri-color print cartridge
prints in the 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi mode (up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi color
and 1200-input dpi). If a
photo print cartridge is also installed, the print quality is
enhanced. A photo print cartridge can be purchased separately if it is not included with
the printer.
Note Using Maximum dpi increases the printing time and requires a large amount of
disk space.
Follow these steps to print in the 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi mode:
1
Open the Print dialog box.
2 Select the Paper Type/Quality panel.
3 In the Print Quality drop-down list, click Maximum dpi.
4 Select any other print settings that you want, and then click Print.
Note Use an HP premium photo paper when printing in the Maximum dpi mode to
enhance color matching and detail in the photo.
Saving money when printing photos

gloss and set the
print quality to Normal.
HP Everyday Photo Paper, Semi-gloss is designed to create quality photos with less
ink.
Note For higher-quality photos, use HP Premium Plus Photo paper and set the print
