The International Color Consortium, a group of companies that have agreed on a common standard for color profiles.

Ink density

The relative amount of ink that is deposited on the substrate per unit of area.

IP address

A unique identifier that identifies a particular node on a TCP/IP network. It consists of four integers separated by dots.

LED

Light-Emitting Diode: a semiconductor device that emits light when electrically stimulated.

Minimum drying power

The minimum heat applied in the printing zone so that the substrate does not cool too much in lightly-inked areas. Low minimum power may cause print quality defects; high minimum power may damage the substrate, especially with a high number of passes and in blank or lightly-inked areas.

Nozzle

One of many tiny holes in a printhead through which ink is deposited onto the substrate.

Passes

The number of print passes specifies how many times the printheads will print on the same area of substrate. A higher number of passes tends to improve print quality and printhead health, but reduces the speed of printing.

Platen

The flat surface within the printer over which the substrate passes while it is being printed on.

Printhead

A removable printer component that takes ink of one or more colors from the corresponding ink cartridge(s) and deposits it on the substrate, through a cluster of nozzles.

Spindle

A rod that supports a roll of substrate while it is being used for printing.

Substrate

A thin, flat material designed to be printed on, made of paper or other materials.

Substrate advance compensation

A slight adjustment to the amount of substrate advance between print passes, to compensate for the characteristics of different substrate types. The printer normally performs this adjustment automatically, but may need to be recalibrated for substrates not supported by HP, or for an unusual ambient temperature or humidity. Incorrect substrate advance compensation may cause banding with fewer than 8 passes, or graininess with 8 passes or more.

Unidirectional

Unidirectional printing means that the printheads print while moving in only one direction, which may improve print quality. In general, increasing the number of passes is a better way of improving print quality.

Vacuum pressure

The substrate is held flat against the platen by vacuum suction. Too much or too little suction may cause print quality defects. Too little suction may also cause a substrate jam or damage the printheads.
