@trndny07:

I have been making beautiful 8x10 prints using the 56 and 57 cartridges
in my HP 5550 Deskjet printer. however, when these prints are put in a
frame under glass, the black or dark portions of the pictures seem to
stick to the glass or otherwiselook bad. I recently found that there is
a 58 photo cartridge that can or should be used in place of the 56 one.
Can I expect that this will solve my problem or is something else
causing the print to stick to the glass? Any suggestions or help will be
appreciated.

My nephew buys something that you spray or roll onto the photo's which
prevents and protects.

Clearly reading instructions from the paper manufacturer is not part
of how some people learn.
You can NOT put photos, prints, images on paper or just about anything
else in contact with a smooth surface and not have it attempt to
stick.. When you do it starts a "Newton effect". Where negatives are
concerned it produces "Newton rings" and makes enlargements useless.

Where photos are concerned, they will attempt to become part of the
surface of the glass. If you haven't dried the picture out entirely,
this process will almost automatically start within minutes of
assembling the frame. You can do 2 things to prevent this from
happening. Both require you to separate the glass from the picture.

Picture framers use a "Gasket" - very much like a square rubber seal
about 1.5mm thick and as wide as the recess in the picture frame so
you can't see it when the thing is assembled. The other way is use a
"Matt". Those bevelled pieces of board framers often use to increase
the frame size of small pictures. Both these measures will prevent the
problem.
