7 ProofReady profiles

The HP DesignJet6 color plugin is supplied with several ProofReady color profiles for ‘out-of-the-box’ color management. Simply choose a ProofReady profile in your page setup, according to the paper type installed in your printer (see Table 3 for supported paper types), and color will be automatically handled in the RIP to pro- duce accurate, consistent and ‘pleasing to the eye’ output.

7.1 Supplied ProofReady profiles

Each ProofReady profile supplied with the HP DesignJet 6 color plugin has been created for a specific HP paper type at a specific resolution. For best results, you should always use the recommended paper, as listed in Table 3, and leave the resolution at the default setting.
