NOTE: Photo and coated paper requires careful handling, see The print is scuffed or scratched on page 124. Paper presets Each supported paper type has its own characteristics. For optimum print quality, the printer changes the way it prints on each different paper type. For example, some may need more ink and some may require a longer drying time. So the printer must be given a description of the requirements of each paper type. This description is called the paper preset. The paper preset contains the ICC profile, which describes the color characteristics of the paper; it also contains information on other characteristics and requirements of the paper that are not directly related to color. Existing paper presets for your printer are already installed in the printer's software. However, as it is inconvenient to scroll through a list of all paper types available, your printer contains paper presets only for the most commonly used paper types. If you have a paper type for which your printer has no preset, you cannot select that paper type in the front-panel display. There are three ways to assign a preset for a new paper type. ● Import a paper preset that you have downloaded from the Web. See To install a downloaded paper preset on page 35. ● Create your own paper preset using the HP Color Center. See To create your own paper preset on page 36. ● Advanced users can create and adjust paper presets using the HP Color Center. See Advanced paper preset creation on page 37. NOTE: You can use a maximum of 30 custom and additional paper types. To delete a custom or additional paper preset, go to the Color Center and select Paper Preset Management > Delete Paper Preset. Paper presets provided with your printer cannot be deleted. To install a downloaded paper preset 1. After finding the right paper preset at http://www.hp.com/go/z3200/paperpresets/ or at the paper manufacturer's Web site, click the Download Now button and save the paper preset (".oms" file) on your computer.
