As a creative professional, you need more than
reliability, performance and value. Your world is
all about color. That’s why HP has implemented
technologies and solutions that deliver the color
quality, consistency and control you need for a
superior color experience.
Color solutions for your workflow
RGB or CMYK. Printing or proofing. Pleasing color
or accurate color. With the HP Designjet 130 printing
system, you can choose the solution that best fits your
needs, your workflow and your environment.
HP Designjet 130 drivers
Optimized Mac and Windows drivers deliver outstanding
color output for photographers or designers printing
images in an RGB workflow. Support for RGB ICC profiles
means you have the choice of managing color in the
applications or via ICM profile or ColorSync tools.
The drivers also allow you to balance color channels
individually when you need one last tweak.
HP Software RIP
Designed for creatives who need color management in
a CMYK workflow, this optional RIP adds the capabilities
designers need to generate accurate layouts, comps or
concept proofs that integrate images with text, logos
or illustrations. A true Adobe PostScript 3 solution, the
RIP offers complete ICC profile management, including
input and output profiles, as well as automatic PANTONE
®2
calibration to easily and accurately print corporate or
specific colors.
EFI Designer RIP for HP XL
This EFI solution is ideal for agencies and service bureaus
whose workflow requires incremental production, color
management or proofing capabilities. It offers in-RIP
separations for the composite workflow, as well as the
ability to define non-standard spot colors. It also offers
job management tools including job ticket and control
strip ability as well as job nesting for paper savings. You
can easily emulate offset presses or other printing devices
via ICC profiles, and CMYKplus support allows you to
produce images perceptually consistent with offset output,
but with the richer and more vibrant colors possible with
a digital printer.
Third-party RIPs
HP has worked with virtually all the leading RIP vendors
in digital photography, large-format printing and pre-press
proofing fields to ensure you can choose the solution that
best matches your color workflow.

HP color layering technology
Like artists creating new colors by
mixing the standard paints on their
palettes, multi-layering technology
uses the basic CMYKcm palette to
achieve a much broader range of
printable colors.
By layering ultra small (4 pl) drops within
a single dot, HP Designjet 130 printers
produce smoother gradations between
tones for virtually grain-free images.
Automatic color calibration
The automatic closed-loop color (CLC)
calibration process enables consistent
and accurate color reproduction.
The CLC process is based on measuring,
via a color sensor, reflected energy from
primary color tiles that are illuminated
with a narrow-bond light source. The
process works in much the same way
as a classical densitometer. The printer
generates a target, scans the pattern
and adjusts based on the results.
Color technology by HP
Inks and media deliver fade resistance and stability
New, dye-based inks, combined together with HP papers,
produce images that stabilize in minutes vs. hours and last for
years. HP inks, media and printers are designed together for
results that do justice to your ideas.
