b. In the front panel, select Modify > Add New Printmode.
c. Select Passes > 12 or higher for optimal print quality and drying efficiency.
d. Select Color Saturation > 120% or higher, as it will provide the maximum proofer gamut
on this substrate, which will improve accurate color matching; but should not show IQ
defects.
e. Adjust all substrate settings (advance, temperature, vacuum, inter-pass delay…) to the
desired values (in our tests we left them all at their default values).
f. Save the printmode that you have just created.
g. Make sure printheads are aligned.
3. Color calibration of the proofer baseline.
a. To start color calibration from the Front Panel, select Substrate > Color calibration, and
then click the Calibrate button.
As commented in Step 2: HP Latex 3000 setup, if the media is not calibratable by the
printer, the calibration should be done from the RIP, and if so, please select a Basic
workflow instead of ICC only in the next step and perform a RIP calibration before the
creation of the ICC profile.
4. Color characterization of the printer baseline, that is, creation of the RIP media preset and an ICC
profile of the target printer baseline.
a. Start ONYX Media Manager to create the media preset for the recently cloned media in the
printer. Select the HP Latex 300 to start the media creation and choose ICC Only as the
workflow.
b. Make sure you select the recently cloned media on the drop-down menu to link the ONYX
media preset to the media in the printer. In our example, it is called “Proofing – Self-
adhesive vinyl.”
