Printing tips
Print quality settings
•
Fast Draft
produces draft-quality output at the fastest printing speed, while using the
least amount of ink.
•
Fast Normal
produces higher quality output than the Fast Draft setting and prints
more quickly than the Normal setting.
•
Normal
provides the best balance between print quality and speed and is appropriate
for most documents.
•
Best
provides the best balance between high quality and speed and can be used for
high quality prints. For most documents, the Best setting prints more slowly than the
Normal setting.
•
Maximum dpi
optimizes the dots per inch (dpi) that the HP Deskjet prints. Printing in
maximum dpi takes longer than printing with other settings and requires a large
amount of disk space. For more information, see
