Print borderless photos

Use borderless printing to print to the edges of certain paper types and to print on a range
of paper sizes.

NOTE:

If you are using the product with a Windows 2000 computer, some features

may not be available. For more information, see

Guidelines

Use an appropriate borderless paper size. For a complete list of supported media
sizes, see the printer software.

Do not print borderless photos in ink-backup mode. Always have two print cartridges
installed in the printer.

Open the file in a software program such as HP Photosmart Software and resize the
photo. Ensure that the size corresponds to the paper size that you want to use.

For maximum fade resistance, use HP Advanced Photo Paper.

Verify that the photo paper that you are using is flat. For information about preventing
photo paper from curling, see the
