You can assign a name of your own choice to a particular substrate.

You can adjust the preset to suit the precise characteristics of your substrate.

You can adjust the preset to your intended use of the substrate, which may range from highest-quality
printing to fast production output.

To edit the technical characteristics of a custom substrate type, go to the Internal Print Server and select
Substrate > Edit. This allows you to change all the important settings in the substrate preset. It is
recommended for advanced users only.

NOTE:

You can change only the presets that you have created yourself. The presets supplied by HP cannot

be changed.

1.

In the upper part of the Edit Substrate window, select the substrate category and the name of the
specific substrate preset that you want to edit.

NOTE:

Generic presets cannot be edited.

2.

In the central part of the window, select the number of passes, number of colors, and ink density; and
name the combination to make it visible in the Print dialog.

3.

In the lower part of the window, change the settings for your named combination. Press Update print
mode
if you want to change an already-existing named combination.

In order to achieve a highly optimized preset for one specific purpose and substrate, you may need to adjust
other settings to compensate. To achieve a balanced preset, you are recommended to use the Add New
Substrate wizard or a generic preset.

On-the-fly adjustments

You can modify the substrate settings while printing. In the Internal Print Server main window, press the
Print adjustment button, and a dialog box opens.

The dialog box is divided into sections for the substrate advance (see

Substrate-advance compensation

on page 128

), the curing and drying temperatures, and the substrate tension.
