HP Designjet Z6100 Printer Series - Quick Reference Guide

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.
●
Add a custom paper type and create an ICC profile for either HP or non-HP
papers.
