Working with other commercially available media 213
Print Quality
Improper capping of printheads will occur when any of the following elements break:
• Rib #1 or Rib #2 of the Maintenance Cartridge,
• Pin #1 or Pin #2 of the Carriage Assembly
You should also check all the other elements of the Maintenance Cartridge (plastic of each cap etc.) and
make sure the vacuum ports are clear. If they are blocked, you can clear them with a T-8 Torx bit but you
should also check to make sure the Aerosol Fan is operating correctly.
Working with other commercially available media
This section provides a quick reference guide to selecting the correct settings in the printer so that the
printer acheives the best possible image quality when using a type of media which does not come from
HP.
Table 1 shows the recommended media settings for some of the most commonly available media in the
market. If a particular media is not shown in table 1, refer to the information in tables 2,3and 4 in order
to choose the correct category for the media available from sources other than hp.
Table 2 defines the print characteristics used in Table 3 and 4.
For optimum results, first load the media with the recommended settings, then calibrate and profile the
media. For creating the ICC profile, there are two different options:
• Profile the paper using the HP Color Center
• Use an alternative profile (often available from the paper’s manufacturer).
