Key technologies
The HP embedded spectrophotometer with i1 Color
Technology from GretagMacbeth™ is mounted on
the printer carriage and revolutionizes professional
color workflows by automating media profiling.
The spectrophotometer allows users to automatically
generate custom ICC profiles for their preferred media
and provides accurate measurements for printer
calibration that deliver print-to-print and printer-to-printer
color consistency.
HP DreamColor Technologies are a system of color
sciences that make it easy for you to produce accurate,
predictable, and consistent color across different
printers, presses, and media. It’s designed to provide
customers with accurate, predictable, and easy color.
Initially refined to meet the demanding standards for
color accuracy at DreamWorks Animation SKG™,
HP DreamColor Technologies offer capabilities such
as closed loop color calibration for color consistency,
Professional PANTONE emulation and offset
color emulation.
HP’s Embedded Web Server enables remote printer
management and monitoring. Use your web browser
to easily control queue management and nesting, job
submission and storage, and job accounting.
HP Advanced Profiling, powered by GretagMacbeth
technology, offers a color management solution along
with the spectrophotometer embedded in the printer.
Easily monitor color profiling, calibration, ambient
light, and monitor-profile validation, as well as
rigorously fine-tune printer color profiles. You also can
control RGB and CMYK profiling and optimize inkjet
separations for HP media in addition to the most
common inkjet separations (Inkjet 260 and 400).
A very intuitive profile-editing wizard lets you
match colors to various viewing conditions that
use nonstandard illuminants.
HP’s 12-ink printing system uses six HP 70 Printheads,
each printing two colors of ink with 1,056 nozzles/
color. The system includes HP Gloss Enhancer and
Original HP Vivera pigment inks in seven colors
and four blacks.These inks deliver an exceptionally
broad color gamut for photographic and graphic arts
applications and produce superb neutral tones as well
as deep blacks on matte, glossy, semi-gloss, and fine
art papers.
HP’s extensive media portfolio includes a portfolio
of nine photo papers, 10 digital fine art papers, three
proofing papers, nine bond and coated papers, and
over 30 other HP media. All have been tested with
HP 70 Vivera pigment inks to deliver consistent,
museum-quality prints that withstand the handling,
display and storage that professional prints demand.
