Paper presets Each supported paper type has its own characteristics. For optimum print quality, the printer changes the way it prints on each different paper type. For example, some may need more ink and some may require a longer drying time. So the printer must be given a description of the requirements of each paper type. This description is called the paper preset. The paper preset contains the ICC profile, which describes the color characteristics of the paper; it also contains information on other characteristics and requirements of the paper that are not directly related to color. Existing paper presets for your printer are already installed in the printer's software. However, as it is inconvenient to scroll through a list of all paper types available, your printer only contains paper presets for the most commonly used paper types. If you have a paper type for which your printer has no preset, you cannot select that paper type. There are two ways to assign a preset for a new paper type. ● Use one of the existing HP factory paper presets by selecting the closest category and type in the front panel or the printer driver. See Paper type is not in the driver on page 195. NOTE: Colors may not be accurate. This method is not recommended for high-quality prints. ● Download the correct paper preset from http://hp.globalbmg.com/paperpresets. NOTE: HP provides presets for HP paper types only. If you do not find the paper preset you want on the Web, you may find that it has been added to the latest firmware for your printer. You can check the firmware release notes for information, see Update the firmware on page 180. To install a downloaded paper preset 1.
