Storing and handling photo paper
Follow these instructions to maintain the quality of your HP
brand photo paper.
Storage
● Keep unused photo paper in a resealable plastic bag, in the
box in which it was originally packaged. Store the packaged
photo paper on a flat surface in a cool place.
● When you are ready to print, remove only the paper that
you plan to use immediately from the plastic bag. When you
have finished printing, return any unused photo paper to
the plastic bag.
● Do not leave unused photo paper in the printer paper tray.
The paper might start to curl, which can reduce the quality
of your photographs.
Handling
● Always hold photo paper by its edges. Fingerprints on photo
paper can reduce print quality.
● Verify that the photo paper is not curled. If the photo paper
is curled, place the paper in a plastic bag and gently bend it
the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat. If
the problem persists, use photo paper that is not curled.
