Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing
images, use HP Advanced Photo Paper.
Store specialty media in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a
flat surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper
you plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused
photo paper to the plastic bag. This will prevent the photo paper from curling.

NOTE: For this issue, there is not a problem with your ink supplies. Therefore,
