HP HP Designjet Z2100 How to do color calibration

1. Do not use transparent or translucent paper to calibrate colors. It is recommended that you use paper or paint to get the best quality. Make sure that the transparent cover is turned off because if there is a strong light source near the printer during the alignment of the printhead, the alignment will be affected.

2, through color calibration, your printer can be based on the specific print head, ink and paper you use to generate consistent colors under certain conditions. After color calibration, you can get exactly the same print effect even if you print from two different printers that are located in different countries/regions. Unless you disable the alert feature, the printer usually alerts you when you need to perform color calibration. You should calibrate when any of the following occurs:

Replace print head

A new paper type was introduced, and the paper type has not been calibrated with the current print head group

A certain number of prints have been made since the last calibration

Environmental conditions (temperature and humidity) significantly changed

You should calibrate the paper type before you create a color profile for the paper type; however, you can also recalibrate at a later time without recreating the color profile. You can start color calibration from the following locations:

1 recommended for calibration of the printer alarm.

2 HP Color Center: Select "Calibrate Printer".

3 Front panel: Select "Image quality Maintenance" menu icon and select "Calibrate Color".

The calibration process is completely automatic and can be performed unattended if the type of paper to be calibrated (should be A4, stationery, or any larger size paper) is loaded. The process takes 8-10 minutes, including the following steps:

A test chart for printing calibration that contains the color labels for each ink used in the printer.

3, according to the type of paper to let the test chart dry for a period of time. The ink should be dry when scanning, because the wet ink and dry ink color slightly different.

Use an inline HP Spectrophotometer to scan and measure the test chart.

According to the measurement results of the spectrophotometer, the printer calculates the necessary calibration parameters for application, thus obtaining a consistent color when printing with the paper type. The printer also calculates the maximum amount of each ink that can be applied to this type of paper.

Color calibration complete.
