Poor Quality when printing on glossy paper

[teagnome]

I've been trying to print on glossy photo sticker paper, specifically this: https://www.amazon.com/LD-Glossy-Inkjet-Sticker-8-5X11/dp/B000VKV2H4

The image prints great on just regular paper:

However, on the glossy photo paper it comes out really blotchy looking. Here it is set to use "Other Photo Papers":

And this is set for "HP Everyday Photo Paper, Glossy" (not as bad but still pretty bad):

Is there a setting I am overlooking that can resolve this, or if it is just that this specific paper doesn't work well with the printer, what kind of paper would be reccomended for printing glossy, photo-quality stickers? Thanks.

Welcome to HP Support Forums. A really great platform for posting all your questions and finding solutions.

I understand that you are facing print quality issues when printing on glossy papers

I'll try my best to help

Are you using genuine HP cartridges?

1. In the software application you are trying to print from, click File, and then click Print.

   The Print window opens.

2. Open the Properties dialog box.

   Depending on the software application, the button might be Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences

3. If you are dissatisfied with the quality of your printouts, increase the print quality. To print more quickly, decrease the print quality. These options typically include Best, Normal, and Draft modes.

Next try cleaning the Printhead

1. Load plain white paper into the tray.

2. On the printer control panel, swipe the display to scroll to Setup, and then touch the Setup icon (). The Setup menu displays.

3. Swipe the display to scroll to Tools, and then touch Tools.

4. Touch Clean Printhead. There are three cleaning stages. A test page (different from the Print Quality Diagnostics page) prints between each cleaning stage. Do not use this test page for analysis. Touch No when prompted to continue the next level of cleaning.
