Print quality settings
• Draft produces draft-quality output at the fastest printing speed, while using the least
amount of ink.
• Fast Normal produces higher quality output than the Draft setting and prints more
quickly than the Normal setting.
• Normal provides the best balance between print quality and speed and is appropriate
for most documents.
• Best provides the best balance between high quality and speed and can be used for
high quality prints. For most documents, the Best setting prints more slowly than the
Normal setting.
• Maximum dpi optimizes the dots per inch (dpi) that the HP Photosmart prints. Printing
in maximum dpi takes longer than printing with other settings and requires a large
amount of disk space. For more information, see “
Maximum dpi” on page 43.

Resolution button on the Features tab.
