3. Ensure that Color Calibration is turned on. At the front panel of the HP Designjet 4000 series,
select the
icon, then Printer configuration > Color calibration > On .
4. Load the printers with similar paper types.
5. Ensure that the Paper Type setting on the front panel corresponds to the paper you have loaded.
6. Print your image on the HP Designjet 1000 Printer series using your normal settings.
7. Now prepare to print the same image on the HP Designjet 4000 Printer series.
8. In your application, set the color space of the image to emulate the HP Designjet 1000 Printer
series and the specific paper type that you used in that printer. The data sent to the driver must
be already converted to this emulation color space, which is a CMYK color space. See your
application's online help for information on how to do this. In this way, the 4000 series will
emulate the colors that the 1000 series can produce when printing on that paper type.
9. In the PostScript driver for the HP Designjet 4000 Printer series, go to the Color Management
section and set the CMYK input profile to the same HP Designjet 1000 Printer series color
space that you selected in the application (the emulation color space).
NOTE When trying to emulate another printer you should always use CMYK colors, not
RGB.
10. Set the rendering intent to Relative Colorimetric, or to Absolute Colorimetric if you want to
emulate the whiteness of the paper.
11. Print the image on the HP Designjet 4000 Printer series.
