Working with non-hp papers -Version for firmware 3.x Important Recommendations How can I work adding a new paper which is based on a Non-HP Paper Type under Custom Category. Please note that when using "HP Easy Printer Care" on the Windows platform, due to driver architecture, it is possible to incorrectly select in step #3 the option "Add New Paper" and select a paper listed under the "Custom" category. This option is NOT recommended, since once the ICC profile has been made, the results will not be as good as expected, colors will not be accurate. Notice however that this problem will not appear if you select a paper that is not in the "Custom" category, it is part of one of the following paper categories: • " Bond and Coated Paper " • " Photo Paper " • " Proofing Paper" • " Fine Art Material " • " Banner and Sign material " • " Self-Adhesive material " How can I work with different type of papers based in the same "Custom Paper Type"? In same cases, I can have a custom paper type that I would like to use with different types of papers of my preferred vendors (e.g: when I download a media profile that is under "Custom Paper Type" and I want to check the behavior with different type of papers). I can't add a new paper using the "Custom Paper Type", as noted above to avoid ICC profile issues, I would need to do something different. In this case, it is recommended loading all my papers with the same custom paper type that was added previously and is available from the front panel, under the custom paper types. Even though I've loaded all the papers under the same option in the printer; I can still generate a different ICC profile for every one and then save it with a different name (a name easy to remember with the vendor's paper name for example). Every time I want to use one of these papers, I need to load it and select it from the front panel name, launch a Color Calibration (it will be different for every type of paper and it is important to do so every time we change the paper) and when printing select, the right ICC profile.

How can I work adding a new paper which is based on a Non-HP
Paper Type under Custom Category.
Please note that when using "HP Easy Printer Care" on the Windows platform, due to driver
architecture, it is possible to incorrectly select in step #3 the option “Add New Paper” and select a
paper listed under the "Custom" category.
This option is NOT recommended, since once the ICC profile has been made, the results will not
be as good as expected, colors will not be accurate.
Notice however that this problem will not appear if you select a paper that is not in the “Custom”
category, it is part of one of the following paper categories:
•
" Bond and Coated Paper "
•
" Photo Paper "
•
" Proofing Paper"
•
" Fine Art Material "
•
" Banner and Sign material "
•
" Self-Adhesive material "
How can I work with different type of papers based in the same
“Custom Paper Type”?
In same cases, I can have a custom paper type that I would like to use with different types of
papers of my preferred vendors (e.g: when I download a media profile that is under “Custom
Paper Type” and I want to check the behavior with different type of papers). I can’t add a new
paper using the “Custom Paper Type”, as noted above to avoid ICC profile issues, I would need
to do something different.
In this case, it is recommended loading all my papers with the same custom paper
type that was
added previously and is available from the front panel, under the custom paper types. Even
though I’ve loaded all the papers under the same option in the printer; I can still generate a
different ICC profile for every one and then save it with a different name (a name easy to
remember with the vendor’s paper name for example). Every time I want to use one of these
papers, I need to
load it and select it from the front panel name, launch a Color Calibration (it
will be different for every type of paper and it is important to do so every time we change the
paper) and when printing select, the right ICC profile. It can be done in Photoshop by selecting
the following options:
