HP Photo Creations Support & Tips

• The example shows the "how to" for a 4x6 inch photo.
• With the exception of the need to change the print / paper size, the steps are the same for the 5x7 inch photo.
• If your printer does not support Borderless (or if Borderless is not supported for your paper size), ignore that part of the example / setup.

General Example – One Borderless Image on 4x6 inch photo paper

NOTE:  Borderless may -- or may not -- be available on your printer model
