1. First recommendations: • Refer to the Media type functionality & features and choose the most appropriate media. • It is essential that you have the media type correctly calibrated with the printer and print mode, consult the Calibrate my printer section. • In order to get a correct display, it's also essential to have the monitor calibrated, consult the Profile my monitor section. • If the paper that you are using is not listed, or if you cannot find a paper type that resembles yours closely enough, we strongly recommend creating a new Custom Paper Type. You can add a custom paper automatically by using the HP Color Center; refer to the Add and profile a new paper type document. • Be sure your printer has installed the latest firmware version and the latest color profiles, for the paper type you use. Mainly, if you follow this guide's instructions and you are experiencing any of the following problems, download & install the firmware software or the profiles installer from the HP Designjet online. o Contouring in gray transitions printing on photo papers. o Loss of details in shadows and dark areas. o Lass of details printing red and green saturated colors. o Low gamut printing dark red colors. o Blue transitions are not as accurate as it is expected. 2.
