To get the best quality photos, make sure your inkjet printer is set to the highest quality for the type of paper you're using. After selecting Print, the print dialog box opens. Click on the printer properties button and choose your preferred settings such as paper type and size, number of prints and if you want borderless prints.
For best results, use a premium inkjet photo paper.
If ink balls up on paper causing images look spotted, use a different photo paper or adjust the printer speed. This shouldn't happen when using paper made by the same manufacturer as the printer. Name brand paper can be more expensive than non-name brand but usually produces optimal image quality.
Print drying time
Give photos about an hour to dry after printing and before stacking on top of one another. When prints will come in direct contact with another surface such as glass or pages in a photo album, let it dry for at least 24 hours. If the room is hot or humid, give prints even more time to dry.
Avoid storing prints in hot and humid areas or placing them in direct sunlight.
