Before you start
- The HP app connected to the printer and a photo available on the device.
- Compatible inkjet paper with its size and type known.
Start with the paper you actually loaded
Use a supported size and type of inkjet paper in good condition. Load the rear tray with its print side facing up and the width guide touching the stack without bending it. Open the output tray and extend its paper support before printing. Photo paper can provide a different finish from plain paper, but it does not guarantee a particular image quality.
The source has plain paper, so it keeps Plain paper selected. Do the same if you are using plain sheets; select the matching photo-paper setting only when that paper is actually loaded.
Step 1:Choose the photo in the HP app
Select your printer and choose Print photos. Pick the intended image and review its orientation. The source demonstrates the settings with a photo from the phone rather than a formal printer-quality test.
Step 2:Match size and paper type, then inspect the crop
Select the loaded paper’s actual named size and the matching paper type. A4 and Letter are different; an app suggestion is not proof of what is in the tray. Review Fit, crop, rotate and other available layout controls, checking that important content stays inside the preview.
Brightness adjustments change the image’s appearance; they are optional, not an automatic quality improvement. The source’s layout controls are not evidence that every size supports borderless printing.
Step 3:Review quality and colour before submitting
Choose Next to reach the final print options. Select Best if that higher-quality setting suits the job, and Colour for a colour image. Recheck paper size, type and printer selection. Higher-quality settings can take longer and use more ink; the source’s claimed fixed time multiplier is not a verified benchmark.
Step 4:Print and assess the actual sheet
Submit the job and inspect the result for crop, colour, sharpness and smears. These recordings primarily show app settings and do not demonstrate a verified glossy-photo output or a controlled quality comparison. If the result has missing colours, streaks or doubled text, use the relevant quality guide rather than repeatedly changing unrelated photo settings.
