(ProofReady) Plugin

for HP Printers

This document describes the ProofMate (ProofReady) plugin version 1.0r4, for use

with a Harlequin RIP, version 5.3 or later. This plugin is provided with pre-configured

color setups and calibration profiles that enable instant color management, hence the

name ProofReady. The plugin is available for the RIP running on Pentium-based pro-

cessors using either Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 98 or Windows ME and

for the Harlequin RIP running on Macintosh computers, including Mac OS X (support

for Mac OS X requires Harlequin RIP version 5.5r1w or later).

1.1 Introduction

The plugin allows the RIP to provide page images to a supported HP printer.

The

printer can be connected directly to the computer running the RIP or through a suit-

able network or interface adapter, as specified in this document. You can also print to

file and transfer this file for output to a printer.

The following printers are supported but it may also be possible to use other models

produced to be directly compatible with these printers:

• HP DesignJet 1050C/1055CM
