This article briefly explains different media profile creation methods on HP Latex 3XX and 5XX printers.
Method 1: Create a profile directly in the printer
Some HP Latex printers can create new media profiles and re-linearize existing media profiles.
- If you're creating a new media profile for the HP Latex, it would be best to create the profile from the printer's panel, as the Latex printer itself manages linearization and ink limits.
- Then, after the media profile was created on the Latex printer's hard drive, simply use Autosync to sync it back into EasyMedia:
Method 2: Load a supplied OMS file
Alternatively, if you have an HP-supplied .oms file, you can import it into the Latex printer from its web interface.
- After the .oms file was imported on the Latex printer's hard drive, simply use the Autosync feature to sync the profile back into EasyMedia.
- You can also select to import a .oms file from within EasyMedia and then use AutoSync to sync it back to the printer's hard drive:
Method 3: Create a media profile in EasyMedia
If needed, you can also create a media profile in the EasyMedia module.
- First, create a media on the printer and perform the HP-based Color Calibration (don't do the ICC part).
- Then, in Easymedia, create a new media and link it to the new media preset. Then, select the print mode and quality.
- Next in EasyMedia, press the Profiling tab (skipping the linearization and ink limit, as that's printer-based) and print/measure/build the ICC profile.
- Once profile creation is complete, you can save it to the printer's hard drive by clicking on Save Project:
- Then you are asked if you want to copy the ICC profile to the printer.
Info
Make sure to save the project and copy it to the printer.
Considerations
There's a check box when you click on the wrench icon at the first part of EasyMedia that says not to share profiles with the printer. Make sure that this is unchecked before performing an AutoSync:
