Easy Printer Care (Windows) or HP Printer Utility (Mac OS). You should calibrate a paper type before creating its color profile; however, you can later recalibrate without needing to recreate the color profile. You can start color calibration in the following ways: ● From the printer driver alert - HP Z3100ps | HP Designjet Z3100ps GP Photo Printer - User's Guide - Page 79
after you have loaded paper of the type you wish to calibrate-which should be A4, Letter, or any larger size. The process takes about 8-10 minutes and consists of the following steps. 1. A calibration chart is printed, which contains patches of each ink used in your printer. 2. The chart is allowed - HP Z3100ps | HP Designjet Z3100ps GP Photo Printer - User's Guide - Page 80
. HP Easy Printer Care (Windows) or HP Printer Utility (Mac OS) will notify you if your printer has profiles that are not yet stored on your computer. NOTE: Some applications may need to be closed and restarted in order to use a profile that has just been created. NOTE: You can profile a photo paper - HP Z3100ps | HP Designjet Z3100ps GP Photo Printer - User's Guide - Page 81
yours closely enough, you can define a new type. See Add a custom paper type on page 40. The printer then calibrates itself for use with your paper, after which you can return to installing the ICC profile. After you have selected the paper type, browse to the file containing the ICC profile to use - HP Z3100ps | HP Designjet Z3100ps GP Photo Printer - User's Guide - Page 82

. For best results, the colors must be adjusted to the printer, because different printers will produce different colors from the same CMYK data.
