How to install HP Universal Satin Photo Paper

• Choose the appropriate print quality and color management settings to maximize color accuracy and detail—consider enabling color profiles or using ICC profiles provided by your printer or ink brand.
• Load the roll so it feeds smoothly, without slack or tight tension, to prevent wrinkling or misfeeds during long print runs. Use roll-end caps and store the remaining material properly between uses.
• After printing, allow prints to dry completely on a flat, dust-free surface before handling, mounting, or laminating to prevent smudging or image shifting. If laminating, choose a compatible laminate to preserve the satin finish and avoid altering color fidelity.
