NOTE: The Maximum Detail option results in slower printing with photo papers, but it does not increase the
amount of ink used.
Use paper economically
You may be able to save some roll paper by using the following options:
●
In the Windows driver dialog: select the Layout/Output tab and then Remove Blank Areas and/or
Rotate by 90 degrees or Autorotate.
●
In the Mac OS X Print dialog: select the Finishing panel, then Remove Blank Areas.
Use ink economically
Here are some recommendations for making economical use of ink.
●
For draft prints, use plain paper and move the print-quality slider to the left end of the scale ('Speed').
For further economy, select custom print quality options, then select Fast and Economode.
●
Clean the printhead only when needed. Cleaning the printhead can be useful, but it uses a small amount
of ink.
●
Leave the printer permanently turned on so that it can maintain the printhead in good condition
automatically. This regular printhead maintenance uses a small amount of ink. However, if it is not done,
the printer may need to use much more ink later to restore the health of the printhead.
●
Wide prints make more eicient use of ink than narrow prints, because printhead maintenance uses
some ink, and its frequency is related to the number of passes made by the printhead.

Color management options
The aim of color management is to reproduce colors as accurately as possible on all devices: so that, when
you print an image, you see very similar colors as when you view the same image on your monitor. Color
management is highly dependent on the paper type loaded at the printer, so please select the correct preset
for the paper type you are using.
The color management options for your printer can be selected from the Color menu in the Windows driver
dialog or from the Color Options panel in the Mac OS X Print dialog. In some applications you can make the
choice in the application itself. Please consult the HP Support Center for guidance on how to use the color
management options of your particular application.
●
Application-Managed Colors: In this case your application program must convert the colors of your
image to the color space of your printer and paper type, using the ICC prole embedded in the image and
the ICC prole of your printer and paper type.
●
Printer-Managed Colors: In this case your application program sends your image to the printer without
any color conversion, and the printer converts the colors to its own color space. The color management
in the printer is done using a set of stored color tables. ICC proles are not used. This method can
