@15tx, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
To remove a name from the back of a picture and print over it with plain white, follow these steps:
1. Edit the Image
- Choose an Image Editing Software: Use software like Photoshop, GIMP, or even simpler tools like Paint.
- Open the Image: Load the image file in your chosen editing program.
- Select the Area: Use a selection tool (like the rectangular or lasso tool) to highlight the area where the name is located.
- Cover the Name: Use the “Fill” tool to fill the selected area with white, or use the “Clone Stamp” tool to cover the name with a matching background texture.
2. Save the Image
- After editing the image to cover the name, save the file in a print-friendly format such as JPEG, PNG, or TIFF.
3. Print Over the White Canvas
- Open the Image for Printing: Use software like HP Smart or a standard photo viewer to open the edited image.
- Select Print Settings: Choose "Borderless" or "Fill Page" to ensure the white area fully covers the page without margins.
- Print on Plain White Paper: Make sure your printer is set to print on plain white paper or canvas.
4. Test Print
- Perform a test print to check the quality and ensure that the name is properly removed and replaced with white.
- Adjust print settings for color density, contrast, or paper type if necessary to achieve the best results.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
