Print with PostScript drivers
The situation describes printing with the PostScript driver installed for that printer. In this example, we
are using an HP Designjet Z6200 printer series and an HP Designjet 5500 printer series.
1.
Check that both printers have the most recent firmware version. See
Update the printer firmware
on page 138.
2.
Check that you have the most recent printer driver for both printers. Download the latest versions
for any HP printer from
http://www.hp.com/go/Z6200/drivers/.
3.
Make sure that Color Calibration is turned on. On the front panel of the HP Designjet Z6200,
select the
icon, and then select Printer configuration > Color calibration > On.
4.
Load the printers with the same type of paper.
5.
Check that the Paper Type setting on the front panel corresponds to the paper that you have
loaded.
6.
Use you normal settings to print your image on the HP Designjet 5500.
7.
Now prepare to print the same image on the HP Designjet Z6200.
In your software, set the color space of the image to emulate the HP Designjet 5500 and the
specific paper type that you used in that printer. The data sent to the driver must be already
converted to this emulation color space, which is a CMYK color space. See the online help for the
software program to find information about how to do this. In this way, the Z6200 will emulate
the colors that the 5500 can produce when printing on that paper type.
8.
In the PostScript driver for the HP Designjet Z6200, go to the Color Management section and set
the CMYK input profile to the same HP Designjet 5500 color space that you selected in the
software (the emulation color space).
9.
Print the image on the HP Designjet Z6200.
