The RIP requires a description of the requirements of each substrate. This description is called the "media preset". The media preset contains the ICC color profile, which describes the color characteristics of the substrate.

Media presets for your printer are installed in the RIP. The RIP contains media presets for only the most commonly used substrates. If you buy a substrate for which your RIP has no preset, you can obtain a preset for a new substrate in the following ways: ● Try to download the media preset from the substrate manufacturer's Web site. ● If it is not there, try to download it from the RIP company's Web site. ● If it is not there, check availability using the HP Media Finder search application located at http://www.hp.com/go/latexmediafinder/ ● If you cannot find it anywhere, create a new media preset in the RIP.

Each supported substrate has its own characteristics. The printer changes the way it prints on each
different substrate. The RIP requires a description of the requirements of each substrate. This description
is called the “media preset”.
The media preset contains the ICC color profile, which describes the color characteristics of the
substrate. It also contains information about other characteristics (RIP and printer settings) and
requirements of the substrate that are not directly related to color. Media presets for your printer are
installed in the RIP.
The RIP contains media presets for only the most commonly used substrates. If you buy a substrate for
which your RIP has no preset, you can obtain a preset for a new substrate in the following ways:
Try to download the media preset from the substrate manufacturer's Web site.
If it is not there, try to download it from the RIP company's Web site.
If it is not there, check availability using the HP Media Finder search application located at
go/latexmediafinder/
If you cannot find it anywhere, create a new media preset in the RIP. See
