  • Ink not drying not on HP premium photo paper more

    I have a printer all-in-one HP Envy 5530 - purchased new less than 6 months ago.

    New HP - #61 black and tri-color ink cartridges #61

    New HP Premium Plus Photo paper, gloss soft finish.

    I am printing of photographs (black + white and color photos) and ink does not dry. I print the right side of the paper - it's easy to say that there is an HP logo on the wrong side. The ink comes immediately on my finger with the slightest touch, even after the hours have elapsed. I had a HP older and never had this problem. I appreciate any suggestions that I am an artist and need to print images that just won't get dirty when handled.

    Have you selected the correct media type?

  • HP Envy 5660:4 x 6 & Accessories HP photo paper doesn't fit 4 x 6 tray in Envy 5660

    I have two boxes of paper HP Everyday Photo 4 x 6 or 102 x 152 mm, which is about 1/8 "long to fit the photo paper tray in my Envy 5660 printer.  Is there a way to make this work without having to cut each page?  Why HP would sell photo paper that does not fit their printer?

    J.Underhill

    Yes, I am aware that I can print 5 x 7 or 4 x 6 in-tray, but as this printer has a tray of 4 x 6 I have to try to use it. Unfortunately, the Board does accept papers whose length is 152mm or 6 "I can't use a HP product that says it's for this purpose.

    PROBLEM SOLVED: I'll cut it to fit and buy another brand.

  • HP Envy 5540: HP Envy 5540 will not be printed on A4 photo paper

    As said in the title, the HP envy 5540 which has brought us recently will not print on A4 photo paper. When you try this it will be just the paper jam. It can print on the matte side of the shiny paper but who despises the point to print on glossy paper. Glossy paper in which you provided (10 x 15 cm) works very well so I don't see what the problem is.

    So I thought I'd post a response cela in case someone else wins the same problem. To resolve this problem when you put paper in the tray make sure that it is placed as left as possible. The reason for this is because the paper gets stuck to the right of the printer inside, this is of course because this model isn't try and calibrate the book itself just cause, it assumes that the Board is good enough.
    If this still does not work then I recommend that once in the basic printing options, select photo paper (HP or not depending on what you have). More there are also in Control Panel > display devices and printers and right click on the printer model you are using, and then select Printing Options. Then, check the orientation of the layout and for verification of the quality of the paper / source paper and media for what you feel would be good for you.

    Hope this helps someone else who has this problem because when I looked around I saw never the solution.

  • HP ENVY 7640 e-all-in-one: e-mail through mobile phone photo printing. Need to print on photo paper

  • Printing on Photo paper with black ink cartridge - J6480 - grayscale does not work

    With:, Mac OS 10.6.6 more latest software HP Print/Scan/utilities:

    The color radio button to use the black cartridge is grayed out if you choose to print in grayscale. If the color cartridge is empty, you cannot print in grayscale on photo paper. It allows you to print in grayscale on plain paper.

    In other words, that it is making me use the color cartridge for printing in grayscale on photo paper. It doesn't look good for me.

    Well Yes, that's right.  The ink in the black cartridge is an ink pigment (about particles of carbon suspended in the solution) and cannot be absorbed by the photo paper.  The ink in the color cartridge is dye based (like dye food) and is absorbed by the coating on photo paper.  That is why all the printing with black cartridge is denied when using photo paper.

    Pigmented ink is used in the black cartridge to produce the beautiful crisp text on plain paper.  There are HP printers with cartridges 'Photo Black' which are ink to dye black which can be used on photo paper.  These printers also have a black text in another cartridge which is a pigmented ink.

  • which uses less ink, best quick scratch paper or photo paper.

    Which uses less ink, best quick scratch paper or photo paper.  I don't mean quality, a little less of ink used.  I also used photo paper, then selected the fast project of plain paper.  Not great quality, as expected, but always looking to use less ink.  My guess is that the paper uses more because it is more porous. My printer is a hp Deskjet 2050.  My OS is 64-bit Intel Core I-7-2670 QM.

    Thanks for any help

    emt1d

    Plain paper settings use less ink, inkjet paper selection will use more and photo paper will use the most.  Draft mode uses generally about half Normal or best mode ink.  Normal and best modes use about the same amount of ink (although best mode takes more time to print and passes).

    There are a few other considerations to minimize consumption of ink:

    • Don't run don't not cleaning cycles from the Toolbox unless needed (rarely).  Beyond the normal start and stop of ink cleaning cycles use cycles and shortens the life of supply and the printer.
    • Always keep the printer plugged in to an outlet.  Using an external symbol tilt like a switch taken or master switch will cause the printer to use more ink at startup.  It can also leave the printheads to be left not clipped, allowing them to dry out.
