Obtaining Optimum Refill Performance using non-HP
media.
In some cases, particularly with high ink density prints and using non endorsed
media types, defects can occur as the ink dries on the media while a print is paused
to refill the printheads. If you are experiencing this problem you can change the
way the printer refills. Your printer can use three different refill types, they are
optimized for different types of media. The three refill types are called A, B, C or
default. The printer chooses which refill type to use based on the media type and the
print mode selected in the front panel. These options may be supported for other
types of media by your RIP software if you are using a RIP. The table below shows
you which refill type you are already using, you can if necessary change the refill
type to better suit the media you are using.
Default: This refill type is for the HP Media range. The printer chooses the refill
type depending on the HP Media you are using and the print mode selected. If you
change Media type the printer will always return to this refill type.
Refill A: Works well for coated papers, however it may cause hazing (blurry, non-
glossy surface) on some glossy media.
Refill B: Works well for glossy media, but may leave a very thin line on some
media.
Refill C: Shorter refill time, can avoid hazing and other defects on some media
types, but does not completely refill the printheads, so more refills may occur
during very large prints
