HP Designjet Z6100 Printer Series - Quick Reference Guide

The image has a metallic hue (bronzing)
Bronzing describes an image that has a metallic hue when it is viewed from specific
angles. Bronzing occurs most commonly when you print pigmented inks on non-matte
paper, such as photo paper. If you are using standard print-quality options and the
image contains the bronzing effect, move the slider to Quality. See
Select print
quality on page 41.
If you are experiencing bronzing when printing grayscale images on glossy paper,
try using the Full Set of Inks printing option. To do so from the Windows driver,
click the Color tab and select Print In Grayscale, and then select the Full Set of
Inks option from the drop-down menu.
The printed output is not flat
If the paper does not lie flat when it comes out of the printer, but instead contains
shallow waves, you are likely to see defects in the printed image, such as vertical
stripes. This can happen when you use thin paper that becomes saturated with ink.
1.
Make sure that the paper type you have loaded corresponds to the paper type
that you select on the front panel and in your software.
2.
Try changing to a thicker paper type, such as HP Heavyweight Coated Paper,
HP Super Heavyweight Coated Paper, or thicker Digital Fine Art papers.
The print smudges when touched
The black ink pigment can smudge when a finger or pen touches it. This is particularly
noticeable on: vellum, translucent bond, films, productivity photo paper, and natural
tracing paper.
