Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

I'd be happy to help.

 

Has this always been the case? Does it happen only with photos? What's the size and brand of paper being used?

 

Let us know 🙂

 

Thanks!

Yes, always facing this issue with Photo print as text printing is okay.

 

For Photo printing, I used Glossy Photo print paper which is A4 size.

I used Epson full glossy photo print paper

I did recommend you to use HP's photo paper and check if that helps.
