Color differences in different HP DesignJet Printers

   

Color differences between one image printed on the HP DesignJet 5000/5500 series and the rest of the DesignJet platforms are due to the different chemistry of the 5000/5500 series inks compared with the rest of the inks for other printers. This color variability among different HP DesignJet Series Printers has been always present. You can try to achieve consistent colors with the following:

 

-Select the same color emulation settings in your Postscript Driver as the one used by the printer you want to emulate.
-Select the correct Ink Emulation from the Printer Setup Menu/Internal RIP Settings
