See the 'Printer calibration' chapter in the Maintenance and troubleshooting guide for more information. 2. Create ICC profiles for your substrate; see your RIP documentation for instructions. Normally, the procedure includes setting the total ink limit as well as creating the profiles. When setting the total ink limit in the RIP, bear in mind the basic problems to be avoided: ink bleeding and coalescence, and damp prints caused by incomplete curing. Export your new preset and profiles Your substrate has been fully characterized from both the printer and the RIP points of view: a substrate preset is present in the printer, and one or more ICC profiles are present in the computer hosting your RIP. To export the ICC profiles, see your RIP documentation. To export your substrate preset, go to the HP Internal Print Server and follow these steps: 1. Select Substrate preset management. 2. Select the Export tab. A file with the extension oms will be saved, which can be imported by another printer. To import your substrate preset into another printer: 1. Select Substrate preset management. 2. Select the Import tab, then select the correct file with the extension oms. Edit a substrate preset To edit the technical characteristics of a custom substrate type, go to the HP Internal Print Server and select Substrate > Edit. This allows you to change the settings in the substrate preset, exactly as when creating a new preset. See Fine-tune the settings in your new preset on page 67. NOTE: Only custom substrates can be edited. Remove a substrate preset To remove a substrate preset from your printer, go to the HP Internal Print Server and select Substrate > Remove.

Adjust the printing workflow for optimum color performance

Check your substrate's color calibration status and calibrate it if recommended, by selecting

Substrate

Color calibration

in the HP Internal Print Server. See the 'Printer calibration'

chapter in the

Maintenance and troubleshooting guide

for more information.

Create ICC profiles for your substrate; see your RIP documentation for instructions. Normally, the

procedure includes setting the total ink limit as well as creating the profiles. When setting the total

ink limit in the RIP, bear in mind the basic problems to be avoided: ink bleeding and coalescence,

and damp prints caused by incomplete curing.

Export your new preset and profiles

Your substrate has been fully characterized from both the printer and the RIP points of view: a substrate

preset is present in the printer, and one or more ICC profiles are present in the computer hosting your

RIP. To export the ICC profiles, see your RIP documentation. To export your substrate preset, go to the

HP Internal Print Server and follow these steps:

Select

Substrate preset management

Select the

Export

tab. A file with the extension

oms

will be saved, which can be imported by

another printer.

To import your substrate preset into another printer:

Select

Substrate preset management

Select the

Import

tab, then select the correct file with the extension

oms

Edit a substrate preset

To edit the technical characteristics of a custom substrate type, go to the HP Internal Print Server and

select

Substrate

Edit

. This allows you to change the settings in the substrate preset, exactly as when

creating a new preset. See

Fine-tune the settings in your new preset

on page

NOTE:

Only custom substrates can be edited.

Remove a substrate preset

To remove a substrate preset from your printer, go to the HP Internal Print Server and select

Substrate

Remove

. Then select the category and type of the substrate you wish to remove from a list of

removable substrates.
