Introduction To The Document - HP Designjet 5500mfp Color Manual

1. INTRODUCTION TO THE DOCUMENT

The aim of this document is to provide customers with a simple guide to getting good
color reproduction when using the HP Large Format Color Copier products. By making
the process of scanning and printing easier to understand, we believe users will be able
to achieve the desired color reproduction results.
This document contains two parts:
• The first part provides a set of guidelines, checkpoints, settings and
troubleshooting cases that will help the owner of an HP Large Format Color
Copier system in the copying experience.
• The second part (Annex) provides an introduction to color copying concepts,
especially those related to the systems under discussion. In addition, the Annex
includes:
o an assessment of which colors can be reproduced,
o a set of guidelines to assist the user in creating or validating media
profiles,
o a set of guidelines to the creation of new types of originals,
o a set of guidelines for reproduction when using thick media originals.
Users who have a good understanding of color copying concepts can use the first part
of this document as a practical guide to perform a color reproduction job and as an aid
to problem solving.
Users who require more detailed information regarding color copying concepts or who
seek assistance for advanced configuration of the system, should instead refer to the
Annex.
This document does not include features that are not color related, such as: rotating,
scaling, nesting, accounting, paneling, tiling, mirroring and alignment. It neither
provides details about scanner and printer maintenance (please refer to the other guides
for questions related to these features).
We hope this document will be useful for you and will help you to succeed in your
business.
Best regards,
HP Designjet printers
