Substrate presets Each substrate type has its own characteristics. To obtain the best print quality, the printer has to adapt its printing parameters to each different substrate type. For example, some may need more ink and some may require higher temperatures for curing. A specification of the correct printing parameters for a particular substrate type is called a substrate preset. The substrate preset contains a color profile in International Color Consortium (ICC) format, which describes the color characteristics of the combination of printer, inks, and substrate. It also contains information about other parameters (such as curing temperature, vacuum pressure, and substrate-advance compensation) that are not directly related to color. Substrate presets (also known as Open Media System or OMES packages) are installed in the printer, and automatically copied to supported RIP software whenever it is connected to the printer. The printer comes with substrate presets for the most commonly used generic and specific substrates. If you load a substrate for which no specific preset is available in the printer, you have various options: ● Use the Online search function on the front panel or the HP Media Locator on the Web to browse, search, and download a specific preset for your substrate. ● Download a preset from the RIP vendor's website, or from the substrate vendor's website. ● Use a generic preset designed for your substrate category, even though it is not fine-tuned for the specific substrate type. Bear in mind that generic substrate settings cannot be modified; instead, the preset can be cloned and then modified. ● Clone (copy) a preset for a similar substrate, and edit it as necessary. ● Create a new preset, starting from scratch, using the Add new button. If you can find a ready-made preset for your specific substrate, you are recommended to use it. Online search You can search online for a substrate preset by using the Online search function within the Substrate Library front-panel menu. The printer connects to the HP Media Locator database on the Internet and allows you to search all available substrate presets for your particular printer model, including HP and third-party substrate brands. Hundreds of different substrate presets may be available, and the database of substrate presets is continuously updated and expanded. You will always get the most up-to-date content in this way.
