6. The HP Color Center will automatically install the profile in the computer that launches the "Add new paper" process. If you are using your printer from another computer, remember to synchronize papers before moving forward. Process is finished Selecting the right Paper Preset that best matches your needs As you have seen, the key step is to select the most appropriate paper type that matches your needs/your custom paper. In general the paper category to use will be easily identified, but some experimentation may be necessary to obtain the best possible result. To help you to choose the right category we have assembled the following tables. Paper Type Gloss Enhancer Borderless Carriage Height Printing Black Ink Limit Print mode Best Quality 1 or slider in the right position Automatic Cutter Name that appears in driver & front panel (English version). Some of these papers are available through "Custom Paper", others through "Add new paper" Yes (Y)/ No(N): Whether HP Gloss Enhancer can be used or not(Glossy & Semigloss/satin finishing) Yes (Y)/ No(N): Whether you can print on without margins High (H)/Low (L): Carriage height has 2 positions. It is recommended that for paper weights over 250gr, you select a paper type with "High" to avoid print head crashed with paper Photo Black (P)/ Matte Black (M)/ HP Quad-black (Q): Let you know which inks are used when printing black. It could be the photo black + grays inks, matte black + grays inks or the whole HP Quad-black system Total amount of ink that the papers can absorb without image quality problems. Expressed in pico-liters (or nano-grams) per 1/600th x 1/600th inch paper area (divide by 4 for 1/1200th by 1/1200th inch area). As higher the number as higher gamut. Rendering resolution (RR) At which resolution the image is rasterized/processed (in pixels per printed inch, or pppi) Printing Resolution At which resolution the image is printed (in dots per inch, or (PR) dpi) Other info (OI) # passes Higher number of passes typically give better IQ but at less speed. Also, papers like glossies that need more dry time will in general require a higher number of passes. Whether printing from right to left only (Unidirectional) or Bidirectional also left to right (Bi-directional). Unidirectional modes typically give better IQ but at less speed. Yes (Y) / No (N): When cutting is going to be performed. Even if Yes, the user can still disable actual cutting through driver, but not the other way around. 1 For further information on print modes apart of Best quality, please refer to document "Print Modes for information HP Designjet Z3100" that you can find at HP Knowledge Center Hewlett-Packard Company March 26th, 2007
