• Tray D7560: very bad quality photo printer

  I have a HP Photosmart D7560 h which has served me well.  However, the Photo tray for 6 x 8 prints became very bad now.  However, printing from the regular status bar continues to be very good.  I tried to print the image of the 8 1/2 X 11 tray and it is excellent.  The same image of the photo tray is still very poor.  I even put regular in paper in the photo tray and printing is still poor.  Again the impression is very good if the print of the tray of 8 1/2 x 11.

  Y at - it suggestions for this problem?

• Bad quality when printing envelopes on P1102W

  I am a toner and it prints well using standard paper, but every time I print envelopes the quality is very bad. The text is very light and has a discoloration in the middle of the text.  It of using the manual tray and seems only occurs with the envelopes.  I am using MS Word 2010 to print envelopes.

  And... He is not the type of envelopes that I use, because if they print fine on another printer.

  This likely number revives the thickness of the envelope, which is more dense than normal printing paper. To compensate for this, I would recommend going to devices and printers folder and right click on the printer. Here, select "Printing Preferences". Under paper/quality, you can change in 'Better way', which should improve overall performance on this kind of print jobs to the printer.

  Do this and let me know how it turns out that!

  Have a great day!

  

• Quality photo 8600

  I am interested to buy a HP 8600 printer but get conflicting opinions about its quality photo printing.  Anyone care to share.

  Hello

  As part of my work is to provide training in support of officers I spent actually some time printing on this printer. And my opinion is that for a document printer it prints photos really well, when you use the correct paper and the correct settings. Always just make sure that you use paper of HP that was suitable for this printer, as the other brands (all in good quality paper) are not specifically designed to work with the ink that the 8600 using. In one of the training sessions, I printed a picture of one of the students that went to vacation in Iceland, and he had some nice pictures of the northern lights. They turned out to be beautiful in my opinion, and the officer agreed.

• Office Jet Pro 8600: bad quality printing on HP Premium Plus Photo paper

  Using HP Premium Plus Photo paper print quality is terrible! I have selected the correct paper and the "highest DPI", but the results are shockingly bad. The same photo printed on paper ordinary is by far superior, so it seems to be the book that is the problem. Anyone got tips?

  HP Premium Plus Photo paper is designed for dye based printing.  Printers Officejet Pro 8600 used pigment ink which is not compatible with the HP Premium Plus Photo Paper.

  I suggest that you try the Photo paper advanced HP, it is more appropriate for the Officejet Pro 8600.

• HP Envy 4504: Envy 4504 photo prints too red with print quality = better

  Hello

  I hope someone can help.

  On my HP Envy 4504 photos are printed OK print normal quality, but when the print quality is set to best photos are printed to the red. In addition, with DPI Maximum printing photos are much too red.

  This takes place two times printed on paper Normal and on Photo paper

  With the GIMP, I tried to make an example of how a photoprint looks like.

  I made the example by changing the color Balance: Red cyan - about + 40:

  (my GIMP is Dutch...)

  

  Here is the result:

  LEFT: Photo printed in normal quality; Photo on the RIGHT printed in better quality:

  

  I have already completely remove the software HP Envy and did a clean reinstall. No change.

  I have print-head - cleaning cycles (2 times); color of HP-testprint strips looks very good: all are strong in alignment is correct

  Unfortunately: No picture change in best quality still too red.

  The ink levels are okay.

  Any suggestions what is wrong and what can solve this problem?

  Thank you for your support

• want to 7640: very poor print quality photo

  Photos printed on our 7640 desire come out cloudy even if they were taken with a quality camera and displayed on the computer screen into bright colors. We have installed new ink cartridges and verified that the photo paper is loaded correctly. Are the only parameters that seem to affect the photo printing quality (normal selection or the best gives the same print quality) and "sharpen for printing" (checking and unchecking this box will give the same result). What other options are there to improve the photo print quality?

• HP Envy 4500 series: print 'Photo printing without borders' and 'best quality '.

  Problem: It only prints in the borderless Photo printing option.

  Text in black it prints appears in gray.

  It prints only in quality adjustment 'Best '.

  The test (after cleaning the print head) page shows the 6 colored rectangles but no black text.

  I cleaned the print head, uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of the software.

  The cartridges are NOT original HP cartridges.

  Of course, color works fine.

  I replaced the black cartridge with a new one, twice.

  I can buy a new printer for the price of these replacement cartridges.

  Should I worry about trying to fix this problem or should I throw it out the window?

  In the here document troubleshooting steps can help solve the black print is not on your printer 4500 desires.  Note that when printing in paper mode Photo black cartrdige is not used because the black pigmented ink is not compatible with photo paper.  If the photo paper is selected the pritner will use color ink to print in black.

  My guess would be that you have a black cartridge faulty, not unusual for third party cartridges *.  You can try to mop up the printhead on a damp cloth.  A good cartridge would have a strong black ink spot.  You may be able to recover the cartridge by soaking the print head in warm water, nozzles down to the 1 "of water for about ten minutes.  After soaking, dry the electrical contacts and reinsert into the printer.

• Quality of printing on my HP Photosmart C5580 all in one is not very good

  Hello

  My parents have a HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one printer.  Their old computer was running XP and the printer printed beautiful photo (using HP Photo paper).  The recently buy a new computer that is running Windows 7.  They called me after that that they got rid of their old computer XP.

  The problem is that the HP C5580 is no longer made a good job of photo printing.   I have been in their house and they owe me that the use of the printer to print then we have printed a new photo to the printer (which was horrible).  I then downloaded the latest drivers for Windows 7 from HP, installed and reprinted the image.

  The XP computer disappeared, so I've no idea what program they used to print photos.  I used Picas (latest version) to view and print the pictures on Windows 7.

  The new photos are very washed out. They remind me of the photos printed on the ink jet printer initially on plain paper.  They are not photographs.

  Anyone have any ideas to improve the quality of the photos?  If it is a better program than Picasa we should use to print the photo?  Is there a way to caliabrate the printer?

  Thank you

  Dennis

  Hi Dennis you have posted on the discussion of the ePrint/Mobile Forum so I'll ask that your post moved to the Printing Board Issues & troubleshooting in the hope that you receive relevant responses. In the meantime, I suggest that you check the ink levels in the supplies in the printer and print a diagnostic. You should be able to get it out in the printing software HP you have downloaded or directly from the front panel of the printer. If ink, levels are low in all of the test color cartridges to see if that solves the look "washed out" prints.

  Good luck.

• Want 5640: A6 Photo prints

  I put my setting on the printer to print A6 (10 x 15 cm). I just get the error that chose the format is not supported in the photo tray. A4, I got the main tray works well. I tried with Photoshop and also Lightromm with the same result.

  If I choos automatic bin the printer uses the main tray for A4. This printer are just crazy to me. Had a Photosmart before that worked much better. It's the shit.

  Edit: I can´t change the status bar on the screen printers. Photo tray is grayed out, only the main tray can be used.

  Hi @Tomo53,
  
  Please become a member of the HP's Support Forums. I understand that you have a problem with the select paper size. I'll be happy to help you.

  When you print the photo there should be a paper size 4 x 6 in. 10 x 15 cm not A6.

• HP envy 5545: envy 5545 off paper msg on the color photo prints

  about 3 weeks.    the drivers are up to date.    total number of color prints - 8 full letter size pages.

  good color prints up to our days.

  now get the paper error message when you submit a color as photo printing.

  good black text prints and copies the right color with the copy function.

  then, only the color impression causes the out of paper message.

  tried to send printing to hp win10 laptop, hp printer app on kindle fire hdx, emailing the print job on hpeprint.

  what I tried to solve this problem:

  1 back by pulling the power plug with the printer on,

  2. reset to the factory settings of menu specifications,

  3. software checked for compatibility of paper output.

  Oddly enough, I stop the machine for 24 hours and the next day the color prints were very good.

  heat as a radiator or Sun n, t a factor;  However, the deep sleep was for several hours.

  I, m glad I have a second printer hp for backups!

  Thank you, thank you for your time and concern.
