Handling Your Media

Handle film and glossy media by the edges or wear cotton gloves. Skin oils can be transferred to the media leaving finger print marks. Although the ink systems supplied with this printer have good lightfastness, colors will eventually fade or change if exposed to sunlight over a long period of time. Rewrap partially used rolls if they are not being used and do not stack rolls. Always keep unused rolls wrapped in the plastic wrap to prevent discoloration. Keep the media tightly wound on the roll throughout the loading and unloading procedures. If the media starts to unwind, it can become difficult to handle.

When to change your HP No. 81/HP No. 83 supplies is mostly determined by you with guidance from the front panel. In conjunction with the messages displayed in the front panel and the message explanations in Printhead Status Messages. Printhead Statistics Printhead Removal Printhead Installation

Troubleshooting A brief explanation on troubleshooting the printer. Help in Solving Problems included in this section are areas you can go to that will help you solve problems you may encounter. Finding the Source of Your Problem How to get to the root of the problem.

Troubleshooting

Much of the troubleshooting information contained in this section is provided to complement the printers own internal checking features. Fault Tolerant Print Modes. Image Quality Consistency. Continuous Printing. Color Emulation. Out of Ink Detection. Printhead end of life detection.

Check the driver you are using to print with, if it is a non-HP driver, go to http://www.hp.com/go/designjet and download the correct HP driver. The settings in the non-HP RIP are incorrect. Refer to the documentation which came with the RIP. The software applications you are using have the wrong settings.

Color Accuracy

These are two areas you should review when troubleshooting a color accuracy problem:

Configuration

Check the color emulation selected in the driver. Make sure the color information is adjusted for the current color setup. See Color Accuracy Configuration.
In some situations the CMYK data in your document will not be suited to your printer. Two typical situations are: The document was optimized for a certain printer, and now it has to be produced on a different printing device.
Printing color with PostScript (HP Designjet 5000PS)
Most graphic design applications can define color using three methods: CMYK. RGB. Pantone.
CMYK Workflows Traditional workflows define the color in the CMYK space. To obtain optimal results, CMYK must be adapted to the target printer which receives the data, different printers will produce different color from the same CMYK data.
CMYK data is frequently designed for these standards. If there is no information as to how the CMYK data was defined, these standards are a good assumption.
The document is being optimized for a printing press, but it is necessary to produce a check print using a less-expensive printing device.
To process CMYK data which is not intended for the printer, the HP Designjet printers provide color emulation modes. The emulation must be enabled in the PostScript driver, in the Printer color management dialog box: Standard emulations: SWOP (United States), EuroScale (Europe), DIC (Japan) and Toyo (Japan).
Custom emulation This mode can emulate any CMYK printer. You will need the ICC profile for the printer for which the CMYK data is intended. The ICC profile is a standard which defines which color would come out of that printer. The HP Designjet uses this information to produce the same color. RGB Workflows RGB is a device-independent definition of color. Being device-independent implies that RGB has to be converted to the printer-centric CMYK data which drives the printer. And this transformation depends on the target printer. The transformation from RGB to CMYK requires an ICC profile for the printer. The profile describes which CMYK is a good reproduction of a certain RGB. Because the color which comes out of the printer depends on the printer setupsuch as the type of paper and the quality levelyou must select the ICC profile for the intended printing conditions. HP Designjet printers come with ICC profiles for multiple types of paper.

Even if RGB is printer-centric, RGB data does not always produce the same color. There are a few frequently used types of RGB color such as sRGB, Apple RGB, Adobe RGB, or ColorMatch RGB. An RGB profile describes what an RGB color looks like. Your printing application should be set up with the correct ICC profiles for the RGB and CMYK data. Newer applications such as PhotoShop 5 and Illustrator 8 allow you to do this. Your application will use these ICC profiles to convert RGB to CMYK. If your design application does not support ICC profiles, you don't have control over the conversion from RGB to CMYK. So, always convert data into CMYK before putting it into the application. Make sure that the CMYK has been optimized for the printer which is going to handle the datasee the recommendations in the previous section. Some applications send unidentified RGB data instead of CMYK. In such case, the printer will carry out the conversion from RGB to CMYK. You must select the type of RGB data in the PostScript driver, in the Printer color management/RGB emulation option. For applications such as Adobe PhotoShop which do identify the RGB they are using, this setting will have no effect.
Pantone Workflow Pantone colors are identified by their name, and the appearance for the color is defined by Pantone. Pantone calibrates HP Designjet printers so that they can produce the best match of a Pantone color. When an application sends a Pantone color to the printer, it can use two methods Pantone colors as spot are defined with their name, so that the printer can select how to best emulate that Pantone color. Pantone colors as composite colors are defined with a CMYK value.
If the Pantone colors are defined as spot colors, the HP Designjet printer will produce the best match through the Automatic Pantone Calibration mechanism. If the best CMYK for the Pantone is not known, it is recommended that Pantone colors are defined as spot. Only Pantone Coated colors are reproduced in an HP Designjet. Using ICC Profiles The International Color Consortium (ICC) color profiles that are provided with the HP Designjet 5000PS are identical to the color profiles that the internal PS RIP uses, although the latter converts them to PostScript Color Rendering Dictionaries internally. To use the ICC profiles outside of the internal PS RIP, the application and the driver must be configured correctly for good results. Make sure the ICC profile for the correct printer model (DJ 5000PS), ink type (imaging or UV), media, and print quality is selected in your application, and that it is being used to convert RGB or CIELab images to CMYK. Choose the correct rendering intent for your type of job: Perceptual for photographic type images, Colorimetric for logos and proofing, and Saturation for computer graphics type images. Make sure the application is sending device CMYK colors to the printer, not calibrated color. For instance when printing from PhotoShop 5.x, select the profile and

Since CMYK values are device-dependent, the CMYK for the Pantone composite color must be adapted to the target printer. Most applications contain CMYK definitions of Pantone colors optimized for the SWOP or EuroScale standards. If the application does not allow selection of this CMYK, and the printer CMYK does not emulate these standards, the output will not match well with the Pantone colors.
rendering intent in the CYMK setup, select CMYK as the output color space, and un-select the Postscript Color Management check box. In the printer driver, make sure that Automatic Black Replacement is disabled <insert reference>, and that no CMYK emulations are being used <insert reference>. If all of these conditions are met, the results of using a provided ICC profile externally or internally will be very similar. Creating ICC Profiles If you want to create your own ICC profiles for use with the HP Designjet 5000PS (using any of the commercially available profiling software packages), the most important thing is to make sure that you use exactly the same configuration of application(s) and driver to print and measure the calibration target(s) as you will use later on when applying the profile. HP recommends using Native mode without Automatic Black Replacement, making sure that the application is sending device CMYK colors without any further conversions being applied. Black generation is one of the most important aspects of printer profile generation, but differs considerable from one profiling tool to another. If possible, HP recommends
using the following black generation parameters for the HP Designjet 5000PS: K ink start 35%; maximum K ink 100%; GCR type curve; total area coverage 280%. Good results can also be obtained with other settings, depending on the profiling software used. Six ink printers with light Cyan and light Magenta colorants in general require the start of K ink to be delayed compared to traditional four color printers, in order to avoid the grainy appearance caused by black dots in highlights and midtones. Automatic Black Replacement will do this for colors defined as device CMYK, but should not be used in conjunction with a profile that is itself already defining K ink start and other black generation parameters. When using the internal profiles with ABR enabled, the internal PS RIP will not apply ABR to colors generated by the profile (defined by the application as RGB or CIELab), but will apply ABR to colors defined by the application as device CMYK. For externally applied profiles the internal RIP cannot make this distinction, hence ABR should be disabled in this case.
Color Consistency Problems
Some media may discolor or change with age. Check that your media is fresh and has been stored correctly. Check to make sure that color calibration is turned on. Refer to Calibrating the Color Output If the environmental conditions you are printing in change rapidly, you may see changes in color consistency. By reducing the time the print stays in extreme environmental conditions after being printed (especially very high humidity) you can reduce color consistency problems.

Media Extensions
Printed Surface Smearing Roll As the media is printed and the image is coming out from the printer, the natural curl of the media causes it to rub against the roll of media installed in the printer. This causes image smearing. In addition to this, if the out-coming media sticks against the roll, because the ink is not dry or because of static (some Polyester films get electrostatically charged) it could cause the media to re-feed into the printer. Make sure that the media extensions are installed onto the printer (shown right). The extensions don't reduce the way media is charged, but the increased distance between the roll and the out-coming media, reduces the probability of having both surfaces being attracted (and smears).
NOTE: for detailed printing tips, troubleshooting, printing compatibility and new product information, visit our web site at: http://www.hp.com/go/designjet

Warped Lines on Media

The media itself may be warped. This can happen if it has been used or stored in an extreme environment. For all environmental specifications, see Environmental Specifications.
Marks or Scratches on Double-sided Media
If you are using double-sided media and there are marks and scratches evident on the media, it may mean the platen needs cleaning. Perform the procedures detailed in Cleaning the Platen.
Blurred Lines (Ink Bleeds from Lines)
Perhaps you have adjusted the drying time in the front-panel menu to speed up the printer output. Set Drying time to Automatic.
Smears or Scratching on the Image
This problem can appear on paper-based coated media if a lot of ink was printed. The media absorbs the ink quickly and expands. As the printheads move over the paper, the printheads and the paper come into contact with each other and the printed image is smeared. 1. Press the Cancel key on the front-panel; if you continue to print, the paper may damage the printheads.
For details of drying time adjustments, see Drying Time Settings.
Marks or Scratches on Glossy Paper
Glossy paper may be extremely sensitive to the bin or anything that it comes into contact with directly after printing. This will depend on the amount of ink printed and the environmental conditions that are present at the time of printing. Avoid any contact with the paper and handle the print with care until quite some time has elapsed.

Front-Panel Image Options
These next few pages deals with the ways you can control the overall appearance of your prints from the front-panel in terms of: pen width pen color treatment of overlapping lines 5000PS Unless you have specifically indicated in your software that the printers front-panel settings are to be used, (for example, Printers default Setting in a Macintosh Print Options window), the software settings for a PostScript file override the printer front-panel settings described in this section. Why Use the Front-Panel? By default, the printer looks to your software to provide information on all the above attributes. However, your driver or application may not provide these controls or you may want to experiment with various effects, or try a temporary change without the need to change your images or your driver settings. 5000 Some of these settings do not affect the output generated when printing from most of the applications under Windows when using a HP-GL/2 driver.
overall print quality and resolution. Some front-panel selections affect the next file or job you send from your computer, but not pages already in the printer's queue. If this is the case, it is stated in the relevant part of this section. Some of the controls are available using the front-panel menus (for example) pen width, pen color, overlapping lines). Print mode options are controlled from the frontpanel.
Pen Widths and Colors in the Internal Palettes
The pens discussed throughout this section are the conceptual pens in a software palette, rather than the printers physical printheads. HP Designjet 5000PS These settings have no effect on PostScript files. Palette The printer has three pen palettes: Factory Palette A Palette B. Software The printer looks to your software for pen settings and ignores all three internal palettes. Palette A The printer assigns the attributes defined in Palette A to the pens defined in your software as 0 through 15. Palette B The printer assigns the attributes defined in Palette B to the pens defined in your software as 0 through 15. Factory The printer assigns the attributes defined in the Factory Palette to the pens defined in your software as 0 through 15. Comments

Widths (mm) 0.13, 0.18, 0.25, 0.35, 0.50, 0.65, 0.70, 0.35mm 0.80, 0.90, 1.00, 1.40, 2.00, 3.00, 5.00, 8.00, 12.00. Note that 0.13 mm is a onepixel line width at 300 dpi and threepixels line width at 600 dpi Colors 0 through 255. As specified on the Palette Print.
5000PS These settings have no effect on PostScript files.
The following steps show how to define Palette A: 1. In the front-panel menu, go to the Define Palette selection and choose Palette A. Scroll to the pen number you want to change and press Enter. The current width assigned to this pen is displayed, for example Width=0.35mm. If you want to change it: a. Press Enter. b. Scroll to the width you want c. Then press Enter again. d. Press Back to get to the previous menu: Color/ Width Otherwise, scroll to Color. 4. The current color assigned to the pen is displayed, for example Color=110. If you want to change it: a. Press Enter. b. Scroll to the color you want. c. Then press Enter again. d. Press Back to get to the previous menu
When both width and color are correct, press Back. Scroll to the next pen number you want to change, press Enter and then repeat steps 3 through 5 again. When all pen definitions are correct, press Top to exit the menus.
IMPORTANT The palette you have just defined will take effect only when you select it to be the current palette, as explained on To Select a Palette.
Changing the Treatment of Overlapping Lines (Merge)
The Merge setting controls the overlapping lines in an image. There are two settings, Off and On. The following illustration shows the effect of each setting.
Merge off (Default) A subsequent line hides a previous line where they overlap. Merge on Overlapping lines and area fills are merged.
You can set the merge setting from your software in some applications. Settings in your software override the front-panel settings. 5000PS Merge settings have no effect on PostScript files.
Printing Images in Grayscale
There are times when you may want to print a color image in grayscale because it is faster. Examples of this are: You want a draft where color is not important, for example to check that the image is not going to be clipped. NOTE: You cannot change the color/grayscale setting for pages already in the printer's queue. NOTE: HP-GL/2 drivers may override this setting.
You want a version for photocopying in black and white. Grayscale printing renders colors as grayscales rather than all colors as black. If you want all colors to be printed as black, then you should set all your colors to black in your software. For example, if supported in your software, use a pen number that is 100% black. Alternatively, you could make one of the printer's internal palettes (A or B) all black, and then select this as the current palette (see Pen Widths and Colors in the Internal Palettes in this section for an explanation of palettes).
