To create your own paper preset
Before using a custom paper type with your printer, you should add a paper preset for the new paper. You can
create a new paper preset using the Color Center in the HP Utility.
The paper preset name will appear in the printer driver and the front panel.
To create a paper preset, you can follow this simple procedure:
1. Go to the Color Center tab in the HP Utility for Windows, or to the Paper Preset Management group in the
HP Utility for Mac OS.
2. Click Create Paper Preset under Windows, or the + icon under Mac OS X.
3. Select a paper category from the drop-down menu. The paper category determines the amount of ink used
and other basic printing parameters. For more information, see the online help in the Color Center. Some
of the common categories are (depending on the model):
Bond and Coated Paper: Fiber-based, thin papers with a matte surface. These papers use matte black
ink, no gloss enhancer, relatively low ink limits and high carriage position.
Photo Paper: Photo-base, relatively thick papers with a variety of nishing from matte to satin to
glossy. These papers use photo black ink and gloss enhancer, with the exception of Photo Matte
Papers, relatively high ink limits and low carriage position, with the exception of Baryte and Photo
Matte Papers. Generally they will print with the starwheels up.
Backlit: Synthetic translucent materials that use photo black and no gloss enhancer with high ink
limits, high carriage position and starwheels up.
4. Enter your paper's name.
TIP: The paper's commercial name is likely to be the most understandable for other users of the printer.
5. Select the appropriate settings: drying time, horizontal cutter, and so on.
6. Click Next or Done under Windows (depending on your printer model), Continue under Mac OS.
7. You will nd the paper name in the Custom paper category in the front panel and HP Utility.

the ICC prole name.
Now that you have created the paper preset, you will be able to select the paper type from the front panel and
from the driver under the Custom paper category.
