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. It will work
correctly only when printing on plain, coated or heavyweight coated paper.
●
In the Windows 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 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 in similar ways under Windows and Mac OS:
●
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.
●
In the Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6 Print dialog: select the Color Options panel, select Color
from the Mode list, then press the Adjust button.
●
In the Mac OS X 10.4 Print dialog: select the Color Options panel, then Lightness and
Hue.
Under either operating system, you will then be able to make adjustments using a lightness slider and
three color sliders.
