Printer emulation

If you want to print a particular job and to see approximately the same colors that you would get from
printing the same job on a different HP Designjet printer, you can use the emulation mode provided by your
printer.

NOTE:

This option is available only when printing an HP-GL/2, PostScript or PDF job. Accuracy is guaranteed

only when printing on plain, coated, or heavyweight coated paper.

In the Windows HP-GL/2 or PostScript driver dialog: select the Color tab, then Printer Managed
Colors
, then select Printer Emulation from the Source Profile list. You can then select from the
Emulated Printer list.

In the Mac OS X Print dialog: select the Color Options panel, then select from the Printer Emulation list.

Color adjustment options

The aim of color management is to print accurate colors. If you perform color management correctly, then
you should be able to print accurate colors with no need of any manual color adjustments.

However, manual adjustments may be useful in the following situations:

If your color management is not working correctly for some reason

If you want colors that are subjectively pleasing rather than accurate

The printer driver provides different adjustment facilities depending on whether you are printing in color or in
grayscale. If you are printing in pure black and white, there are no color adjustment options.

Printing in color

You can adjust the colors of your print as follows.

In the Windows driver dialog: select the Color tab, ensure that the Advanced color adjustments box is
checked, then press the Settings button beside it.
