Hi 

 

I have a new printer and I need to know the settings for magnetic paper as on my last printer 7500a it was photo paper semi gloss but there is nothing comparing to that.  Problem is it is throwing too much ink out so smudging 

 

Please help 

 

Thanks

Welcome to HP support community.

 

Here are the media type your printer supports.

 

You can change the paper type and check if that  If helps printing on magnetic paper.

Here are the steps:

  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. Depending on your print job, you might consider modifying the following settings:

    • Paper Type

Then update the printer firmware:- Click here

 

I hope that helps.

Cheers.
