In plain paper Photo quality is terrible...
Hello
First of all, excuse me my bad English.
I have a Photosmart Premium C309g, and I have problem with printing photos using plain paper. The colors are horrible.
If I print a normal document, such as a table excel with graphics, the colors are correct.
If I print a photo that the glossy paper, the quality is excellent. Perfect. I used the paper provided with your printer.
However, if I print the same photo for a plain paper, the colors are little different. I'll try to explain: it's like red is a little more pink, Brown had a little yellow, some white - as in the shade - go blue... It's like the right color but incorrect tone (?).
I know, it's hard to explain but I really need help.
I tried the new installation of driver using a laptop and the same thing happen.
I tried new cartridges (the old cartridges still have ink) but the same thing happen.
I tried to clean the print head using the Toolbox of the printer, but nothing changes, except the ink level.
My old HP 1510 print photos perfectly plain paper
The problem also happens on Linux...
Windows 7 x 64 / latest version of the drivers.
When printing on photo paper, that the photo black ink is used, the normal black is used for plain paper. The question that you see may be due to the normal black print does not correctly.
See thesteps in this troubleshooting documentation. In Solution 6, colors appear correct? If the troubleshooting steps in the page above do not correct the problem, then thepage here can solve the problem

HP Potosmart 7510, printing from a memory card. Using premium photo paper (glossy), set printer to print on HP Premium Plus Photo), printing out with Black/Brown areas in the blue-green instead of black. Printing using plain paper, set printer on regular paper, just fine. Same thing happens when I tried Advanced Photo and a Photo paper - print comes out with a blue-greenish cast in areas that should be black/brown.
Tried to print a black and white photo - identical to all other attempts - if the choice of the photo options paper, the dark areas are blue/green.
Comment - then try printing from the computer (wireless), produced the same result - black areas are printed in blue-greenish.
Tried cleaning the cartridges, alignment printer, print quality status report looks very good.
Door on this forum and general web search. Nothing has yet solved problem.
What should I do? Any ideas/suggestions?
Yes, this is the case on a 7510. I worked on the answer. Although "ink" diagnostice demonstrates both the black and the cartridges 'photo black' as being low, the 'black photo' was apparently empty. The black of the photo must be called only because when the print properties are defined for the "photo paper", and when it is empty the black dark areas print in blue-green. I thought that the black photo cartridge was a gray, for most thin shades grey, but maybe it's an intensifier of some sort. It's a shame that HP does publish no real information.

HP Laserjet CM6040MFP always paper jam on the fuser unit when full photo in plain paper printing
Hello
My office using printer HP Laserjet CM6040MFP, but I have the problem.
The printer paper always jams on the fuser unit when full photo in plain paper printing. I didn't know why, but this problem occurs on another printer of the same type.
Please help me
-Product name: HP Laserjet CM6040MFP Q3938A
-Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit
Kind regards

Hello again-
I am pleased to learn that the passage is a practical solution for you.
The other possible solution which seemed to be a finding a setting under print quality-> Optimize-> light Media and put on IT.
I don't have a CM6040MFP to check this setting, but it's just an alternative to consider.
Personally I have found that a high coverage near the leading edge of the media, some printers can sometimes cause an increased rate of jam. So I think that your shift is a viable solution.
Good luck!

Photosmart HP 7520 - erasure of the tapes through photo printed on plain paper to A4
Montain Lion 10.8.1 operating system
I want to print some black and white photos on plain paper in A4 format and each time it prints with about 1.5 cm wide strips all the way across the paper in different shades of black (e.g. pale and dark).
The tapes show vertical here because the page was printed in landscape mode.
I cleaned and aligned to the printhead about 4 times but the problem persists. Even when I print the print quality diagnostics page, it shows the same bands on the color blocks.
This is what it looks like:
Can someone please
Thank you very much
Tolo
Hi stix4, thank you very much for your answer.
All I have is genuine HP cartridges. I just tried (and managed to get to the HP Technical Support!)
Had to go into the service menu and proceed with the instructions given, but the problem persists.
They are sending me a new printhead that I hope will sort the problem.
Once again, thanks a lot

envy7640: want 7640 printer does not print photos on plain paper
All of a sudden, I can't print a picture on plain paper - guard asks me to load the photo paper tray, even though preferences set for plain paper printing and plain paper is selected in the print window. (These are not photos but documents scanned in JPEG format by others, so I just want what they free paper). Regular printing and all other functions work fine.
First of all, I use pictures of MS Office or Windows Photo Viewer Manager or just called photo library. All three seem to be essentially the same program with different names and are pretty basic.
The setting in my default printer via control center/devices/Printers Windwos options has always been the main tray (and has always been), so I thought that everyone must be thin and thought why this person tell me to do what I've done?
So I dug deep into the programs print options and indeed saw the photo tray has been chosen. The real mystery is how, in these programs, the status bar setting went from main to photo. I did that, and I don't see how he could have accidentally changed. You see, I have photos properly printed on plain paper before using these programs, so I know - now - that they should have been put to the main tray. Maybe I'll never know.
But no matter, you answer prompted me to explore more deeply, and voila, all is well now.
Thank you.

DeskJet 3520: Paper Photo collection
Does anyone know why my printer is not feeding the paper properly.
If I use a fine photo paper or normal plain paper it picks up fine and the image is printed OK. However, I bought some gloss photo paper in 260gsm and it does not pick up properly. I find myself with a big edge at one end and the other cuts. I cleaned the collection of pebbles, but still no joy. Any ideas?
Some places to check / change:
Although the paper is the specifications for Photo paper (max is 280 g/m), the book itself is perhaps the question:
- Too wet paper > replace paper
- Too dry paper > replace paper
- Paper is not enough good quality (brand is not always a factor) > replace paper
- Paper is "stuck" > remove paper, fan, place rear paper in the tray
- The paper is of the wrong type for this printer (paper must be of type "Ink Jet" as opposed to "laser")
- Selection of the type of media paper is some form of"HP Photo paper" and the brand of paper is not HP
If you have not done - or if you have recently migrated / switched operating systems, please install the software of full functionality for your printer.

HP PSC Photosmart 2410 - Photo printing ok on normal, but not on paper photo paper?
Hello
Can you help me? I recently tried to print photos on photo paper (that I have not had problems with before), but the printing result is that colors and therefore the photos are fine for the first third of the photo book but then became pink and blue stripes. I would have thought it was toner related but print the same photos on normal quality paper and the photo is good.
Before I throw the current toner can anyone comment?
Thank you

It seems that you are low on the yellow ink. When printing in ink mode to photo mode is used more quickly and that the cartridge is low it may not able to cope with the demand. Plain paper using ink at a more leisurely pace and a photo can be printed correctly in plain paper mode. A new cartridge should solve your problem.

Photosmart 6520: Photosmart 6520, plain paper, quick project
during the last eighteen months, I did most of my black and white and color printing "pre-printed, quick project" under Presets. I also had the possibility of Photo paper, plain paper, Best Paper and plain black and white. I went on vacation and since returning I lost this election. I now have the choice of the project B & W B & W or color (sic!)
Printing on plain paper, quick project is ideal for most of my impression that frequently included spot color. In order to print anything with color now, I have to use a lot more ink. I'm assuming that something has been updated while I was away, I can turn the clock back? I use Microsoft Office for Mac on an iMac and MacBook Pro. On the MacBook, the printer is Photosmart 6520 series but grayed out and Photosmart 6520 series (5AE5SCE), which is what shows on my iMac. (I got the MacBook Pro with me on vacation) Help please.
Oops, sorry for the confusion...
Just keep the color and enable Fas project listed, plain paper should already be default, or you can select in the form, then save the settings as the required preset.
Kind regards

Any suggestions on how to print a picture on plain paper from an iPhone or a Mac to a Photosmart 6510?
Hello
If you use AirPrint, the default printer for the photo for a photo paper tray. Your best option is to use the application of e-Print HP - with this application, you can select the paper size and source.
