The HP DesignJet 10ps, 20ps, and 50ps
were designed to provide high-speed, photo-
quality prints at a low cost.The high-end
member of the series, the DesignJet 50ps, is
intended for professional prepress users
who want to make digital proofs that match
a specific output device, such as an analog
proofing process (Matchprint, Cromalin), a
printing press, a color monitor, or other
device or process.
The HP DesignJet 50ps printer works
with a server-based software RIP from
Heidelberg.The RIP offers color manage-
ment, layout, job handling, and file support
functionality to meet the demands of the
prepress user.
Like the DesignJet 10ps and 20ps, the
DesignJet 50ps uses industry standard ICC
(International Color Consortium) color man-
agement profiles to print accurate and con-
sistent color.The DesignJet 50ps RIP has two
color management settings:
• “Color Management for Print” is used for
matching images on the color monitor or
for producing photo-quality output that
does not necessarily match another
process.
• “Color Management for Proof” is used for
matching another device.This setting
introduces another popup,“Press Profile,”
to the color management dialog box.This
profile is for the device you want to
match, be it an analog proofing process,
another printer, or a printing press.To
match a device or printer,you will need to
have an ICC profile for the
device/process, and to import the profile
into the RIP software using the
Settings>ICC Profiles>Add new ICC pro-
file command.
