print

of it.

NOTE:

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

replacing the ink cartridges or print head is not necessary.

Solution 1: Check the paper type

Solution 2: Use a higher print quality setting

Solution 3: Rotate the image

Solution 1: Check the paper type

Solution: HP recommends that you use HP papers or any other paper type that is
appropriate for the product.
Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing
images, use HP Advanced Photo Paper.
Store photo 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:

There is no problem with the ink supplies and replacing the print

cartridges is unnecessary.

For more information, see:

“Recommended papers for printing” on page 15

“Information on paper” on page 81

Cause: The wrong kind of paper was loaded in the input tray.
