3.3 Guidelines to create or validate a media profile
Many of the color problems appearing in the HP Large Format Color Copiers products
are related to the mismatch between the media's color characteristics set up in the
Touch Screen and those of the real media that is loaded into the printer. If there is such
a mismatch, colors may not be reproduced correctly, grays may have some color cast
or some colors may be lost.
The characteristics of the media are defined in the media profile and are selected by the
media profile setting under the Setup tab. There are a number of predefined media
profiles (e.g. High Gloss Photo, Bright White, Heavy Weight Coated); however, if you
are using a media type that is not included in the list, a new media profile has to be
created. By using a media profile that does not correspond to the characteristics of the
interaction between the printer, the media and the ink, you risk having color copies that
do not correspond to the original.
It is recommended to check the media profile in use from time to time, for example,
once a month or when you suspect the overall system has changed its "behavior" (e.g.
you see colors that are consistently substituted with other colors). This is done through
the media profile validation.
