1. Select the HP Color Center desktop icon. 2. The HP Easy Printer Care will open. Select your printer. 3. Color Center tab > Select Create and Install ICC Profile. 4. The HP Color Center prompts for information about the new paper to create and installs the ICC new profile: Select Paper and Action > • Select a paper type… > Select Add a new paper. • Select Action > Select Print target and create ICC profile.
• Click Next. NOTE If you would like to use a longer drying time, you can ask the HP Color Center to create the test chart without going on to create a profile (Print target only. Create ICC profile later). When the chart is completely dry, you can restart the HP Color Center and ask it to create a profile using the test chart you have already created (Create ICC profile from a target that has already been printed). In this case the spectrophotometer takes a while to warm up before it is ready to scan.
• Select Next. Choose ICC Profile Settings > The ICC profile will be created and installed with the specified name and settings: • ICC Profile Name: Enter the name of your new profile. • Check Gloss Enhancer. 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.
• Load your new paper into the printer (A3/B size minimum). • Select Next. Calibrate Your Printer > The printer will calibrate itself for use with your paper. The process takes about 10 minutes and consists of the following steps: • A calibration test chart is printed. • The test chart is allowed to dry for a period of time, the amount of time will depend on the paper type, and this is so that the colors have time to stabilize.
A roll-paper format for roll: • • The test chart is allowed to dry for a period of time; the amount of time depends on the paper type. The test chart is scanned and measured using the HP Embedded Spectrophotometer. Finished > The new ICC profile is stored in the system folder on your computer: C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color\ The profile is also stored in the printer, so that other computers connected to the same printer can copy it.
• Select Done and OK. NOTE: If you are printing on HP Collector Satin Canvas and you experience that this media cannot be calibrated or profiled with the embedded spectrophotometer of the printer; you should try one of the following: - Create an ICC profile with an external device. Print using Printer Color Management option. It does not require an ICC profile.
