Once the target baseline is set, remember to print using this media profile and printmode whenever a
print conforming to the proof will be needed.
Step 3: HP Latex 300 setup
The best color matching accuracy can only be obtained when the color gamut of the proofer baseline
completely includes that of the target printer baseline. In other words, if the color gamut of the proofer
encompasses (is a superset of) the color gamut of the target printer. Using the same substrate in both the
target printer and proofer is also recommended. Also, please make sure you use the same physical
spectrophotometer device to create the ICC profile on both printers.
The first basic step is to set up the widest gamut baseline in the proofer for the selected substrate. This
can be accomplished by selecting the highest possible ink density on that substrate. For reflective media,
including PVC Banner, Self-adhesive Vinyl, Paper, PP & PE Synthetics, Polyester Film or Canvas, the
maximum possible ink density is 120%. For backlit media and textiles, the maximum possible ink density
is 260%.
1. Print the same diagnostic plot as in 2.1.a (see a
), which includes primary color (C,M,Y and K) ramps,
from the printer front panel for different ink densities and printmodes and select a baseline that
has a higher density for all primaries than the ones measured in step 2.1.a (see
a).

2. Set up the HP Latex 300 emulation baseline, using the same substrate. This includes the following
actions:
a. Select the media preset selected in the previous step in the printer’s Front Panel and clone
it. The cloned preset is editable and will be our emulation baseline. Rename it to a
meaningful name.

This stage might be quite time consuming until a proper baseline is selected.
