7. Choose the ICC profile name in the Color Center. This is the name you will use to select the profile in
your application.
If you wish, use the Change Printing Properties button to change the following properties:
●
Paper Thickness: This is relevant to carriage height or platen gap. You should choose High if your
paper weighs over 250 g/m² or if it does not have a plastic coating.
●
Dry Time: The recommendation is to use Automatic by default and move to Extended if needed.
●
Starwheels: Print with the starwheels up or down.
●
Cutter: Enable or disable the cutter.
●
Global Ink Limit: Initially it can be left as it is and modified later on, based on printing results.
Some paper types are available with different ink limits (less/normal/more ink). Ink limits are
generally proportional to color gamut volume, but a higher ink limit can cause printing artifacts
(bleed, coalescence, etc.) in some cases. HP papers have fine-tuned ink limits while other papers
use generic ink limits.
NOTE: When an option is grayed out, that means that it is not available for the selected paper type.
8. Click Next under Windows, Continue under Mac OS.
9. If the paper type permits, the printer performs a color calibration (about 10 minutes).
Now that you have created the paper preset, you will be able to select the paper type from the front panel
and from the Mac OS X driver under the Custom paper category. The ICC profile for the new paper type will be
ready to use by your application.
You can export the new paper preset to your computer and use it on other HP Designjet Z5400 printers. In the
Color Center, select Paper Preset Management > Export Paper Preset, then follow the instructions on the
screen. To install the preset on another printer, see
To install a downloaded paper preset on page 43.
Printing paper info
Enable the Printing paper info option to record the printer’s estimate of the remaining roll length, paper
width and type. The information is a combination of barcode and text that is printed on the leading edge of
the roll when the paper is unloaded from the printer.
NOTE: The paper-length estimate is available only if the printer registered the amount of paper that was on
the roll when you loaded it. To provide this information to the printer, specify the roll length on the front
panel when loading the paper, or load a roll that has the paper-data barcode printed on it.
NOTE: The barcode and text are printed on the roll only when the loading and unloading processes are
started from the front panel's Paper menu.
NOTE: This option can be expected to work only with papers that are completely opaque and cuttable. It
may fail with transparent or translucent papers; it is disabled when an uncuttable paper type is loaded.
To enable the Printing paper info option, go to the front panel and press , then , then Setup >
Printing preferences > Paper options > Enable printing paper info.
NOTE: Enabling this option slightly changes the paper loading and unloading procedures.
