HP Designjet 4500 Printer series - Manual (Page 180)

In the Color tab (Windows) or Color Options panel (Mac OS), select 'Application Managed Colors'
and check the Automatic PANTONE Calibration box. When the application performs color conversion
to the printer's color space, the printer should accept these colors without changing them. Make sure
you have selected the right media profile in “Print Space, Profile” above.
Printer settings
Ensure that the Paper Type setting on the front panel corresponds to the paper you intend to use.
Get accurate colors from QuarkXPress 6
This topic outlines one way to have good control over the printed colors you will obtain from your
printer; there are many other ways. We describe the hard-proofing technique that shows you on your
printer how your colors will appear when reproduced in a press. Before starting, ensure that your
paper type has already been calibrated.
NOTE EPS, PDF, and grayscale images don't allow page-layout applications to manage
their colors. In addition, such images are displayed very poorly on a monitor.
Application settings
1. Open QuarkXPress and select Preferences from the Edit menu (Windows) or the QuarkXPress
menu (Mac OS). Then select Quark CMS from the Preferences dialog box.
2. Ensure that the Color Management Active box is checked.
3. The Destination Profiles area lets you choose profiles that correspond to your devices: Monitor
profile, Composite Output profile, and Separation Output profile. Select in the Separation Output
profile the profile of your output device (press) which you want to emulate on your printer later.
Select in the Composite Output profile your printer profile; remember that it depends on the
printer model, paper type, and print quality option.
