6 Get to know the HP Photosmart
Paper basics
You can load many different types and sizes of paper in the HP Photosmart, including letter or A4 paper, photo paper, transparencies, and envelopes.
By default, the HP Photosmart is set to detect the size and type of paper you load in the input tray automatically and then adjust its settings to generate the highest quality output for that paper. If you are using special papers, such as photo paper, transparency film, envelopes, or labels, or if you experience poor print quality using the automatic setting, you can manually set the paper size and type for print and copy jobs.
This section contains the following topics:
Recommended papers for photo printing
If you want the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers that are specifically designed for the type of project you are printing.
Depending on your country/region, some of these papers might not be available.
HP Advanced Photo Paper
This thick photo paper features an instant-dry finish for easy handling without smudging. It resists water, smears, fingerprints, and humidity. Your prints have a look and feel comparable to a store-processed photo. It is available in several sizes, including A4, 8.5 x 11 inch, 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) (with or without tabs), 13 x 18 cm (5 x 7 inch), and two finishes – glossy or soft gloss (satin matte). For longer-lasting photos, it is acid-free.
NOTE: Sensors in your Auto Sense-enabled HP Photosmart scan the Auto Sense marks and automatically adjust printer settings—including paper type, print quality, and size—for faster printing and outstanding quality. You will even get an alert if your paper is loaded incorrectly. When you print using tabbed photo papers, Auto Sense technology will ensure your printer adjusts to avoid printing on the tab.
To ensure you have HP photo papers with Auto sense look for this symbol on the package:
