Product Manuals
A: As long as you turn the printer off using its power button, you should have no problems. Using the power button gives the printer the chance to cap the printheads so they're not exposed to air-and it's that air exposure that leads to the ink drying and clogging the head.
Q: Why are the colors on my photos so different from the images on my phone and laptop?
A: I had the same question. A search on the theorynet turned up a lot of suggestions that my monitor (laptop) display needed to be calibrated. A fancy way of saying we need to dumb down the beautiful displays we look at (phone & laptop) to make the printed photos match the (now degraded) laptop & phone. I call BS on that. I found that very often, I needed to over-adjust the photos prior to printing to get a very good photo that "popped" with color & contrast. If it was just a comparison to my laptop, ok, maybe calibration. But same issue with my phone?...…. I don't think so. Salesman at Best Buy told me only a cartridge-type printer would produce great photos. I tried the model he suggested & the prints came out exactly same as the HP 551 Tank.
Q: Can I use this for making shirt decals?
A: You can print on tshirt transfer paper made for inkjet printers with the HP Smart Tank Plus 551 printer.
Q: Is this printer compatible for Sublimation Printing for T-shirts?
A: This printer is not compatible with sublimation.
Q: Can you enlarge or minimize the image for printing?
A: No, terrible printer has no printing options. Was very disappointed you can't even print double-sided.
Q: Can I return this item if not happy with it
A: I looked up the return policy and we are stuck with ours too...had to be returned within 15 days I believe.
A: You can connect this printer to a computer using the USB A to B cable (or USB 2.0 cable). The USB cable is not included with this printer.
A: Yes you can with the hp smart app
