4-14 Creating a Color Profile
Prepare the Printer 1. Load the printer with the media to profile. If profiling rigid media,
make sure to have a new sheet loaded before printing the test pat-
terns, which occurs at several points during procedure.
2. Make sure that the printer is calibrated and jetting well, with all jets
firing or substituted. Ensure that the media advance (media feed)
accuracy has been calibrated. The exact procedures vary by
printer. Refer to the printer’s User Manual for instructions.
3. Calibrate the external device (spectrophotometer) according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. The external device must be powered
on and connected to the RIP computer before starting the HP RIP
Software, or the device will not be recognized by the RIP.
