To improve print quality (OS X and macOS)
1. 2.
Make sure you are using original HP cartridges.
Check the paper type.
For best print quality, use high quality HP paper, or papers that adhere to the ColorLok® standard. For more information, see Paper basics on page 9.
Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing images, use HP Advanced Photo Paper.
Store specialty paper in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a flat surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused photo paper to the plastic bag. This prevents the photo paper from curling.
Make sure you have selected the appropriate paper type and print quality in the Print dialog. Check the estimated ink levels to determine if the cartridges are low on ink.
Consider replacing the print cartridges if they are low on ink.
