31 Creative Printing 3 Get the Right Paper Y our HP DeskJet printer is designed to work well on most common office paper types and with quality 25% cotton bond paper. Because your printer uses ink to produce an image, paper that accepts ink well pr oduces the best results.
32 Creative Printing 3 • HP Restickables, Large Round and Large Inkjet Stickers. Print high- resolution customized stick ers. These repositionable stick ers feature HP’s Bright White paper for bright, colorful pictures and sharp text. HP papers are available at most computer supply stor es.
33 Creative Printing 3 Working with Color T o print in color, be sure your document contains colored text or pictures, then turn on color printing in your software pr ogram. Color printing is typically turned on in your software pr ogram’s Print box.
34 Creative Printing 3 What if the printed colors don’t match the screen colors? Because of the physics of how color is made on screen (with light) and at the printer (with dyes and pigments), a slight mismatch can occur. What if the colors aren’t as vivid as they should be? Y ou might be printing on the wrong side of the paper.
35 Creative Printing 3 Customizing Your Print Jobs How to Print on Different Paper Sizes Most of the time, when you print on plain paper, cards, labels, and envelopes, you select one of the standard sizes in the Paper Size box on the Setup tab of the HP print settings box.
36 Creative Printing 3 How to Print on Both Sides of the Paper 1 Load the paper into the IN tray. Remove any paper from the OUT tr ay. 2 In the HP print settings box, click the Features tab. (Go to “Finding the HP Print Settings Box” on page 26.) 3 Then click Book or Tablet .
37 Creative Printing 3 Tablet Option 6 When the paper is properly r eloaded into the IN tray, flip the OUT tr ay down again and click Continue in the message box. The printer prints the even-numbered pages on the r everse side of the odd- numbered pages.
38 Creative Printing 3 How to Flip a Document When you print a flipped document, the text and pictures ar e flipped horizontally (mirror ed) from what you see on your computer screen.
39 Creative Printing 3 How to Print Several Pages Per Sheet Y our HP DeskJet printer has a special option that prints several pages on one sheet of paper. It does this by reducing the size of each page and or ganizing them in rows and columns on the sheet of paper.
40 Creative Printing 3 Working With Photos Using your own photos in your computer creations is easier to do than you may think. Y ou can get photos onto the computer screen in two differ ent ways: scanning and digital film processing.
41 Creative Printing 3 Selecting the Best Photo Paper For best r esults when printing photos, use one of these HP papers. Be sure to check the packaging of the HP paper for designated use with the HP DeskJet printer. • HP Premium Photo Paper: Use HP Premium Photo Paper to produce spectacular photos that look and feel lik e traditional photos.
42 Creative Printing 3 Printing Envelopes Y our printer provides two methods for printing envelopes: • If you’re printing a single envelope, you can use the single-envelope slot and leave your paper in the IN tray. This allows you to print the envelope and then a letter.
43 Creative Printing 3 How to Print a Stack of Envelopes 1 In the HP print settings box, click the Setup tab, then select an envelope size in the Paper Size box. (Go to “Finding the HP Print Settings Box” on page 26.) 2 Slide both of the paper adjusters out.

45 Creative Printing 3 Printing Labels Y ou can use your HP DeskJet printer to print sheets of labels. Use only A4 or U.S. Letter-sized sheets of labels. It’s particularly important to pick labels that are made especially for inkjet printers. Otherwise, labels could peel off in your printer or the ink might not dry.
46 Creative Printing 3 Printing Cards Use your printer to print on index cards, r ecipe cards, postcards, business cards— any card size included in the Paper Size list on the Setup tab. (Y ou can print on other-sized cards, too, as described in “How to Print on Differ ent Paper Sizes” on page 35.

48 Creative Printing 3 Printing on Transparencies For best r esults when printing your overhead presentation, use HP Premium Inkjet Rapid-Dry T ransparencies. The film coating on HP Premium Inkjet Rapid-Dry T ransparencies has been especially developed to work with HP inks, giving you crisp images and text, and the fastest drying times.
49 Creative Printing 3 7 Be patient when printing on HP Premium Inkjet T ransparency Film or if printing on HP Premium Inkjet Rapid-Dry T ransparencies in Best mode. Because the printer uses more ink, lays the colors down mor e slowly, and allows for a longer drying time between sheets, transpar encies take a while to print.

(Go to “Finding the HP Print Settings Box” on page 26.) 3 In the Poster Printing area, click the selection for the number of sheets of paper to be used in creating your poster.
