HP Designjet Z2100 Photo Printer Series - Quick Reference Guide

The process takes about 8–10 minutes and consists of the following steps.
1. A calibration test chart is printed, which contains patches of each ink used in your printer.
2. The test chart is allowed to dry for a period of time that depends on the paper type. The ink should be
dry when scanned, because wet ink may be a slightly different color from dry ink.
3. The test chart is scanned and measured using the HP Embedded Spectrophotometer.
4. From the measurements made by the spectrophotometer, the printer calculates the necessary
correction factors to apply for consistent color printing on that paper type. It also calculates the
maximum amount of each ink that can be applied to the paper.
