Caldera and Onyx RIP drivers for the HP Latex 3000 printer series and the HP Latex 1500 printer come with several substrate profiles pre-installed on the printer.
HP offers the possibility of downloading and directly installing on the printer a specific substrate preset (containing the ICC profiles) through the HP IPS (Internal Print System), on the online substrate manager menu.
Another option is to access the same specific substrate presets at the HP Media Locator. There, you will be able to download the substrate presets (containing the ICC profiles) in OMES file format. After downloading the file, you should go to your HP IPS (V) and import the media preset.
Both possibilities lead to the same result.
“The HP Latex 3000 Printer Series are contone printers. Substrate presets are stored in the printer and RIP should retrieve the ICC profile from printer for applying it before sending jobs to print. Therefore, a synchronization process is required.”
