repeat the profiling process every month to ensure that the profile is up-to-date. 4. When printing, select the correct color profile for the paper type that you are using.

However, HP recommends that you - HP Designjet Z6200 | HP Designjet Z6200 Photo Printer series - User's Guide: Eng - Page 109

Color calibration Your printer uses color calibration to produce consistent colors with the specific printheads, inks, and paper type that you are using, and in your particular environmental conditions. After color calibration, you can expect to get identical prints from any - HP Designjet Z6200 | HP Designjet Z6200 Photo Printer series - User's Guide: Eng - Page 110
24 inches wide. The process takes about 8 minutes and consists of the following steps. 1. A calibration test chart is printed, which contains patches of each ink that your printer uses. 2. To stabilize the colors, the test chart dries for a period of time that depends on the paper type. 3. The HP - HP Designjet Z6200 | HP Designjet Z6200 Photo Printer series - User's Guide: Eng - Page 111
