NOTE: Chart measurement may not be successful if you load the chart as a single sheet without
skew check.
4. From the measurements made by the spectrophotometer, the printer calculates the ICC profile for
your printer, inks and paper type.
5. The new ICC profile is stored in the correct system folder on your computer, where your application
programs can find it.
The profile is also stored in the printer, so that other computers connected to the same printer can
copy it. The HP Printer Utility will notify you if your printer has profiles that are not yet stored on
your computer.
NOTE: Some applications may need to be closed and restarted in order to use a profile that has just
been created.
You can profile a photo paper with the gloss enhancer on or off. The two profiles will be different, so you
are recommended to save them under different names.
Color measurement
You can also create a color profile by using a third-party profiling program and the Color Measurement
facility. To begin Color Measurement:
●
Using the HP Printer Utility for Windows, select Color Center > Paper Preset Management >
Color Measurement.
●
Using the HP Printer Utility for Mac OS, select HP Color Center > Paper Preset Management.
Select the paper type, then press the
button and select Color Measurement from the popup
menu.
Continue with the following steps.
1. Choose the workflow that you want to use from the following options:
●
Print and measure a color chart performs printing and measurement in a single process.
You can choose whether to use gloss enhancer and how much drying time to allow.
●
Print a color chart for later measurement assumes that you will measure the printed chart
at some later time to complete the process. You can choose whether to use gloss enhancer.
●
Measure a previously printed color chart completes the process if you have a color chart
ready for measurement. Load the chart in the correct direction as indicated by the arrows,
loading multiple pages in the correct order, and do not cut the paper.
●
Export a color chart as a TIFF for printing externally allows you to use a different program
(a RIP, for example) to print the color chart. Do not modify the TIFF file in any way before
printing it. The printed chart should be exactly the correct size; the simplest way to achieve
this is to print it on a paper size larger than the chart and then cut the paper after printing as
indicated by the crop marks.
2. If printing a chart, select one of the available charts.
3. If measuring a chart, select the characteristics of the measurements file: what sort of information
it should contain (CGATS and MonacoPROFILER formats are supported), and where the file
should be saved.
NOTE: Chart measurement may not be successful if you load the chart as a single sheet without
skew check.
4. Open the measurements file with your profiling program.
