There are three ways to assign a profile for a new paper type. ● Use a HP factory paper profile by selecting the closest category and type in the front panel, HP Easy Printer Care (Windows), or HP Printer Utility (Mac OS) NOTE: Colors may not be accurate. This method is not recommended for high-quality prints. ● Download the correct paper profile from: http://www.hp.com/go/designjet/downloads NOTE: HP only provides profiles for HP paper types. If you do not find the paper profile 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 136. ● Add custom paper type, see Add a custom paper type on page 40, and create an ICC profile, this works for both HP and non-HP papers. CAUTION: The embedded spectrophotometer is a 45/0 spectrophotometer, as recommended by Graphic Arts International Standards. However, 45/0 geometry is not appropriate to measure color on textured glossy paper. In general, 45/0 spectrophotometers cannot accurately measure color on textured glossy paper. For this reason, automatic color calibration is not allowed on HP Collector Satin Canvas. Add a custom paper type Before you can use a custom paper with your printer you must add a custom paper type and allow the printer to run a color calibration. You can add a custom paper using the HP Color Center in HP Easy Printer Care (Windows) or HP Printer Utility (Mac OS). 1. Go to the Color Center in HP Easy Printer Care (Windows) or HP Printer Utility (Mac OS). 2. Select Manage Papers. 3. In Windows, select Add new paper. In Mac OS, click +. 4. Enter your paper's name. NOTE: It is recommended to use the paper's commercial name to avoid confusion for other users. 5. Select a paper category. TIP: The paper category determines the amount of ink used and other basic printing parameters. To obtain satisfactory results, see The paper type is not in the driver on page 149. 6. Load your custom paper, see Load a roll into the printer on page 29 or Load a single sheet on page 34.
