Download paper profiles
Each supported paper type has its own characteristics. The printer changes the way it prints on each
different paper type. For example, some might need more ink and some might require a longer drying
time. The printer requires a description of the requirements of each paper type. This description is called
the “paper profile”.
The paper profile contains the ICC profile, which describes the color characteristics of the paper. It also
contains information about other characteristics and requirements of the paper that are not directly related
to color. Existing paper profiles for your printer are installed in the printer's software.
Your printer contains paper profiles for only the most commonly used paper types. If you buy a paper
type for which your printer has no profile, you cannot select that paper type in the front panel.
You can assign a profile for a new paper type in three ways:
● Use a HP factory paper profile by selecting the closest category and type on the front panel, in HP
Easy Printer Care (Windows), or in HP Printer Utility (Mac OS)
NOTE: Because colors might not be accurate, this method is not recommended for high-
quality prints.
● Go to http://www.hp.com/go/designjet/downloads and click the HP Designjet ICC/Media
profiles and PANTONE tables link. Select from the HP Designjet media profiles drop-down
menu.
NOTE: HP only provides profiles for HP paper types. If you do not find the paper profile
that you want on the Web, it might have been added to the latest firmware for your printer.
Check the firmware release notes for information. See Update the printer firmware
on page 141 .
● Add a custom paper type. See Use non-HP paper on page 47 , and create an ICC profile for either
HP or non-HP papers.
Use non-HP paper
HP paper has been fully tested with the printer and can be expected to give the best print quality.
