HP Latex 2700 User Guide 3 - Page 48

After you have loaded a roll:

●

If you intend to use substrate edge holders, do not use edge holders from another printer, use only the edge

holders that came with your printer.

●

Check the correct carriage beam position for printing: customized position for thick substrates, printing

position for others. See

Set the carriage beam position

on page

81

.

●

Check that you are using the correct substrate preset in the Internal Print Server and the correct ICC profile

and other settings in the RIP.

●

HP substrates are optimized to provide the best out-of-the-box printing experience with your printer.

●

Use the Internal Print Server to check that any calibrations appropriate for your substrate have been done:

printhead alignment, color calibration. See

Printer calibration

on page

125

.

●

Do not cut off pieces of substrate while the substrate is loaded into the printer. This may cause the

remaining substrate to jam.

You can find further information on the Web:

●

The specifications, finishing, processing, and warranty information for each individual

HP substrate are available from

http://www.globalBMG.com/hp/signagemedia/

and

.

●

HP Image Permanence information is available from

.

●

HP offers to recycle some substrates through the HP Take-Back Program, such as HP HDPE Reinforced

Banner, HP Light Textile Display Banner, HP Heavy Textile Banner, HP Everyday Matte Polypropylene, 3-in

Core, and HPDuPont Tyvek Banner. Recycling opportunities for these products may not exist in all areas. You

should consult local recycling resources about recycling these products. For recycling in the USA, see the HP

recycling services site,

http://www.hp.com/go/recycleLFmedia/

.

HP offers to recycle some other substrates through the standard paper recycling process, such as HP White

Satin Poster Paper, HP Photo-realistic Poster Paper, HP Coated Paper (3-in core), HP Universal Coated Paper

(3-in core), HP Universal Heavyweight Coated Paper (3-in core), HP Heavyweight Coated Paper (3-in core),

and HP Super Heavyweight Plus Matte Paper (3-in core).

Color consistency

Your printer has been designed to provide an excellent experience in terms of color consistency and repeatability.

This allows large jobs such as fleet graphics and wall coverings to be printed in tiles or panels, with confidence

that, when the finished panels are placed edge to edge, the colors will match at the joins. The color variation

within a printed job has been measured to be within this limit:

Maximum color difference (95% of colors) <= 2 dE 2000

NOTE:

This is based on reflective measurements on a 943 color target under CIE standard illuminant D50, and

according to the standard CIEDE 2000 as per CIE Draft Standard DS 014-6/E:2012. 5% of colors may experience

variations above 2 dE 2000. Backlit substrates measured in transmission mode may yield different results.

Color matching is dependent on many external factors. Take the following points into account to achieve this level

of consistency:

●

If a large job is being printed in panels, more than one roll may be required. All rolls should be from the same

batch, and stored under correct conditions according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
